From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, not suitable at all. I would be more interested in using my phone with GrapheneOS as only device.
But:
But for a ton of other stuff a phone works very well
In many areas there are way more apps for android, in many others way less.
No osm and on Linux?
Its just open street map data. Use the routing tool on their web page.
Or make your own if you want to using gis.
Or use the beta organic maps flatpak.
Or KDE Marble has OSM routing as well.
Yeah lemmie just pull out my laptop real quick outside this pub to find how to get back to my hotel.
Aaaaand its gone
Why didn't you take the laptop out while you were still inside the pub? And typically wouldn't you use directions to get to the pub, and getting back is just going the way you came?
Because I was drunk and forgot my way
