If this encourages Linux mobile development that would be massive.

I think the work in immutable Linux will apply nicely

As a tablet Linux user, this is really cool!

What's your hardware?

Unfortunately a Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 on ARM with PostmarketOS.

Bought it for myself shortly before the first Linux-specific consumer tablets were released–which, as I said, is quite unfortunate, but I wanted to have a tablet for school/university.

Camera and the USB-C port (apart from charging, obviously) do not work at all. I'm using Gnome and have problems with both random crashed and stutters/low framerate, general performance is okay though.

Annoyingly, some apps were not available for ARM (Thunderbird as recent as last year and Signal Desktop is still not available).

Tried Fedora Silver blue for ARM as well (which did not work at all), as Alpine based PostmarketOS is quite annoying for general desktop use (some apps just won't work and it once broke completely after an update).

In conclusion: won't recommend until your heavy into fixing stuff yourself/going for quite the ride.

After "[Insert current year] is the year of Linux desktop", I guess we'll have "2025 is the year of Linux mobile"

Android isn't going in a great direction so far.

F-droid + Lineage OS is really the only Foss option
