Thanks for sharing your experiences, it was quite an interesting read.
I played around with Linux on touch devices myself and I got very frustrated. Reading your report, it might a difference in attitude that prevented me from enjoying the it. Crashes, keyboard not coming up, default applications not scaling correctly, getting an numeric keypad on a lock screen to input a password and other obviously stupid things frustrate me to no end.
I’d really love to have at least one Linux touch device (one without a physical mouse and keyboard, the experience is fine when you can use those).
Hopefully Drodian will mature a little bit more. I’d like to use my old Pixel 3a as a Linux music & audiobook player and e-book reader for example. But the user experience must compare to my Android phone, at least for the limited application scope I choose for the device.
If there is ever significant progress in that direction, I’d be happy to read about it.
