Watched The Linux Experiment's latest video, and it drove me to check other Linux mobile OS projects. Honestly, my only reaction was disappointment at the way Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile, and PostmarketOS all make the mistake of treating mobile like it's a desktop. I've used many phones in my life (currently a Samsung S Ultra), and I have noticed how much bottom-centric and one-handed friendliness improved my experience. Linux developers who work on mobile OS projects genuinely miss this aspect of mobile, which, to be fair, everyone else in the Android and iOS ecosystems mess up too. They really need to start treating mobile as different hardware with different I/O; otherwise, even actual Linux enthusiasts might be put off by the terrible experience.
