    You can order a Linux handheld n100 touchscreen for under $300. Technology is absolutely fun today.

      Can you share a link? I haven’t come across an n100 handheld yet, or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

      Running vanilla linux on that kind of device is silly, kernel-wise android has very sensible features and ui-wise it’s not even a competition.

      Now, getting lineage (or similar) on a phone that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for comparatively potato hardware, like the Fairphone, that’s another issue.

      Or how about a steam deck with an m.2 slot for a cellular modem. Also, headset, because I’m not going to hold that thing to my ear. But still, android compatibility is an issue: The reason I even have a shoddy smartphone is to use things like public transit and package delivery apps.
