Overall, probably a positive thing as the improvements made here will flow downstream. I’m actually looking forward to seeing the performance of these new Qualcomm chips in laptops.
Give it a decade, I reckon. As traditional SMS and phone calling die to platforms like WhatsApp/Telegram/etc., and those platforms become available cross-platform, the idea of a Linux phone might become possible. It’s just a matter of decentralizing the distribution of that software, at that point (like how GrapheneOS and others current have the problem of needing the Google store for installing proprietary apps).
