My hope is that Google stays in the tablet game and produces a new Pixel tablet with Thunderbolt 4 support.

Then le wives can use that as their full sized machine, even plugging into the office setup for large monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc...

I think desktop OS's will seem strange at home within ten years.

Not mentioned: GrapheneOS supports Pixel Tablet, but there are rumors Google wont continue it.

linux already seems strange to most users. if they cant use their thumbs they’re lost 😅

Yeah - I haven't found a suitable tablet yet.

I played around with an old touch screen running Linux but it was too clunky to use without the keyboard/touch pad.

Linux for mobile is a dead-end. So far behind and needs to be entirely rearchitected. No apps. Ship has sailed.

GrapheneOS + Android much better.

I do not think it is a dead end yet. The barrier to entry has to do more with hardware compatibility and access to device platforms that are not completely locked down with proprietary bullshit.

There is substantial work being done to make it happen. Unfortunately this is a slow moving progress.

Unless more manufacturers find value in it, or open source projects make more of their own devices. We will always be trailing behind.

Unfortunately true, Linux phones are still completely unusable.
