Will we see a Linux OS on smartphones that can revive old devices like it can do with computers?

I'm a desktop user and needed a laptop for bench testing and didn't want to spend money just to buy a piece of crap laptop. So I dug out my Lenovo T400 from 2009and installed mint and bam, it's working like a charm! Even the after market battery I had like over 10 years ago surprising holds a charge which it didn't when I last installed windows eons ago.

Also recently, my pixel 7 pro battery swelled up so I ended up using my old Essential PH-1 phone all the way back from 2018. Albeit a bit slower it's still working and I don't even want to get a new phone.

That made me wonder if it's possible we will see an OS for smartphones we could reuse existing order hardware. Unlike computers, most smartphone applications aren't even that demanding. And doesn't Android run on some sort of a Linux Kernel?

Gaming on Linux

Some background. About 4 years ago I started using Linux. Mostly a basic ass I3 setup on my homework/work laptop because tiling window managers are absolutely goated for taking notes. Haven't really done anything Linux related on it besides run updates for a long time because i3 never changes.

I mostly use my desktop to game. I tried Linux, but it was less than ideal. There were always weird stutters while shaders compiled. Most games ran, but a lot of them took a shit ton of troubleshooting and performed badly. I gave up and went to windows for gaming.

Not long ago, my kid wanted me to help set up Linux on his computer. I decided to try it on my desktop again.

Holy shit, what happened? Games just work now, perfectly smooth, instantly. You can easily find noscripts on GitHub that give you a fully functional Hyprland setup in minutes, instead of spending a full day screwing around and troubleshooting it, please don't judge me.

Anyway, the point is that desktop Linux feels like it came a shockingly long way in a very short amount of time. I don't know who the people are that are doing this, but I just want to let you know I appreciate the hell out of all of you. GG

Eye tracking mouse?

I'm a disabled eye tracking user and the technology has become an amazing tool on Windows with stuff like Mill Mouse that makes hands free AAA gaming possible. Do you know of anything on Linux, apart from Talon Voice ( it's complex to setup and jittery)? I'd be prepared to pay anyone who build something basic and easy to setup for mouse cursor control (for Tobii 4C).

Should i try Solus ?!!

Hello Every one, now I’m on Mageia now and I’m enjoying it , but you know the distro hopping 🤓 , so I was searching for uncommon distro and so many people recommend Solus , i never used Budgie DE before , but some of them telling that there is nothing out of the box there , so I was asking the people who tried Solus if it deserves a chance !!
