> I like to go around with my Leatherman

This is exactly what we're asking for. We don't want to get rid of our tablets and laptops. But we want leatherman-level functionality from our phones.






That's perfectly fine. You can get it today from Samsung, or maybe soon from Google. My argument is that Leatherman is not going to sell anywhere remotely to the level of the combination of purpose-made tools that it seems to incorporate. You're welcome to disagree.

No, you can't. There's no usable desktop software that you can run there. Artificial restrictions will stay, although might be slightly relaxed.


Well, maybe Librem will make one, and sell it in the billions, who knows.

It's been already created, albeit it's less powerful than than the mainstream phones. Librem 5 is my daily driver.
