Nothing working consistently?

Things breaking randomly?

Nothing looking consistent?

Aping all the bad parts of the MS ecosystem while missing most of the good (I firmly believe desktop linux peaking with KDE 2 and has been consistently downhill ever sense)

Are Apps on android sufficiently consistent or don't "break randomly"? I don't think I see much of material UI outside of Google's own apps (from the times I look at my friends' phones, I use iOS).

No, like I said, Android is terrible, I just think given history a random linux phone os would somehow manage to be worse.

I consider iOS to generally get the job done pretty well.

I've had all these issues on iOS and Android. I'm dreaming of Gentoo/Xfce on my phone.

I had an n900 and it was amazing to use. the only reason I switched to android was that nokia stopped delivering updates and bugfixes to maemo/meego and then of course there was never another good linux phone.
