"Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus' Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU is
faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My smartphone also has 12GB of RAM
and 512GB of solid-state storage. In short, it's more powerful than most of my
laptops. So why not use it as a laptop?
Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced — at long last — a native
Linux Terminal application in its March 2025 Pixel Feature Drop.
Of course, Android is Linux. However, it's a mobile-first Linux distribution
with a smartphone-friendly interface that bears little resemblance to the
traditional Linux shell interface, never mind the Linux graphical user
interfaces and their programs. That's changed now."
