We really do need more viable open phone options. We are well past the point in hardware capability that we could have a linux phone that turns into a desktop when you plug it into a docking station. USB-c connections handle everything for my work laptop.
I have reverted back to using my Linux PC for most screwing around online. My phone, for the technological wonder that it is, is for communicating with family, listening to music, GPSing, and then occasionally computer stuff, looking things up, etc.
Canonical tried years ago and just didn’t get the funding they needed to release an Ubuntu phone. It would have been a dreamy device, especially in today’s tech market.

I can’t wait until a PinePhone comes out that I actually want.
I’m impressed it’s only $200
