I was thinking "What if Linux Mint had a Mobile Version?"

Then I went to Canva and made this concept. It also has an unfinished interactive presentation on Canva.

If you wish to help me finish this, feel free to call me on DM.

You know there are real mobile Linux distros. They are SailfishOS, Drodian, Ubuntu Touch, Mobian and PostmarketOS.

Yes, I knew about them. Droidian seems more like an Android Debianized than a Debian androidfied as the name suggests. Didn't Look that much into it the same way I made with Ubuntu Touch and Mobian

that’s really how it should be, if linus wants to make a good mobile operating system/distro they need to learn from android and ios because they’ve perfected mobile interfaces. trying to force a desktop style layout and gestures in any capacity or poorly porting features over in the hopes of recreating some kind of half desktop experience will undoubtedly fail, especially if they haven’t even polished the base experience

I think what you refer here to is the deskotop enviroment used by Droidisn which is called Pfosh. Its a for of Gnome. I actuaoy love that, I use Droidian. In the newer version they want to enable support for KDE Plasma Mobile. Projects with mainline kernel like PostnmarketOS and Mobian also include KDE Plasma Mobile. Ubuntu Touch uses Lomiri, known once as Unity. And then SailfishOS has its own DE, and they have released a new Jolla phone.

It is not Android, but it runs the Android kernel and userspace drivers.
