Idk man, I can play pc games on my phone, and they run really good. Or better yet, PS2 games run like a hot-damn emulated on my phone, so instead of lugging my PS2 everywhere I just put a controller in my bag and I can play Colosseum: Road to Freedom any damn where I want!

True emulation is fun, but soon phones will all be locked down by google/apple, plus they're total spyware. I'd rather not have them.

Old pixels with graphene will only last so long, new future phones won't allow it.

Yeah, I'd love for Linux phones to be actually 100% usable, I'd be gone from android so fast....
