      I used a linux os for my phone for a while called SailfishOS and it was great having fully fledged apps for things like maps, music, etc in the kB range. The app i used for public transport schedules was 15kB.

        I am very conscious of how much data I use due to where I now live. I have noticed that flatpak’s have a massive download size (100’s of megs), especially when compared to the deb package (kb to mb) 2-3 orders of magnitude more.

        I’d love to learn more about this. With hyprland I could see a passable “mobile” UI that feels like an extension of my main system, but I’ve not taken the dive into trying to get Linux working on a phone making calls and everything.
