      Yeah, I’ve been watching the mobile Linux space with interest but it’s definitely not in a place yet where I would consider using it as anything more than a novelty. The PinePhone is a neat little piece of hardware but no way it can replace my LineageOS phone right now.

      How hard is it to transform the steam deck into a phone? I mean the Software is still missing, but with enough Power you can emulate apps.

        Well, for starters, it doesn’t have a 5G modem, which is probably kind of going to be a basic want for a phone.
