Was this not enough?

Yes, input needs work. Touch is useless, mouse I've never tried (maybe via BT... hum...), and all stylus I've tried were garbage. I don't know what my next device is going to be now that Jolla has lost it, but I'll have a stylus.

That, I'm sure of.

With that said, I've lost myself quite a bit of interest in using phones as a mobile computer, as I already mentioned somewhere else... X11 is one of the reasons, albeit minor one.

The major reason is divergence with the desktop. I've grown tired of thinking "no, can't use haskell on this project, because it'll be a pain to port to WhateverArmLinuxDistributionI'mCurrentlyUsingToday ". Can't use this python module, can't use this newer version of this random C++ library, or can't use this compiler feature.

When I got my Surface the convenience of running the same damn Gentoo disk image I run on the rest of my desktops... well. It can't be overstated enough. The Jolla comes close, but as my free time gets reduced, my sensibility for small 'paper cuts' increases... and I admit Gentoo for ARM is full of them.

So, if I ever return to "mobile computing", it'll be on a device I can run a damn stock Gentoo and no crappy "mobile" distro where even getting a sane /usr/bin/man is a nuisance, or I have to battle the host system just to listen to the microphone, get my daemon to run on startup, or actually be able to perform useful work without being killed or suspended.

If that means x86-only and 10 year old GPU, I don't care (but sadly, I'd mind the battery...)

If I can run a simple phone dialer application on top of Gentoo, for the better. If touch-friendly versions of PIM are also available, then more for the better.
