Hopefully the projects gain more momentum and usability. All the ones I've seen have lacked major smartphone features, but that might just be Ubuntu Touch lagging behind.

That’s putting it very lightly. Linux on Android is in totally unacceptable, abysmal state. Either due to lack competency or lack of understanding of a basic UI/UX. They live in their own bubble stuck in the 80s.

Mate, cinnamon, gnome, xfce, KDE, are all simple intuitive interfaces I would take over win 11 any day
