Is 2026 going to be the year of the Linux handheld?

(No, Android is no more a Linux OS than the PlayStation is a BSD fork.)

I highly doubt 2026 will be the year of the Linux handheld. But if Linux on the desktop continues growing the way it currently is, it could lay the groundwork for Linux on handhelds.

Realistically, I don't think any year will be the year when Linux for mobile takes off, ironically for the same reason why Windows Phone failed, and that is app availability, or the "will my banking app work on it?" problem.

If you root Android... It's pretty much a Linux OS.
