I feel like the steam deck proves that we aren't really all that far from a feasible mobile linux device. Its like 90% of what a phone OS would need to be. I'd buy a Steam Phone from Valve. Imagine an accessory with controllers, access to the whole steam store, and the ability to dock to a TV or monitor. I think that could actually work, especially since so many games are already compatible with the deck as it is.
