> The problem is that Linux GUI and apps generally expect laptop/desktop-ish levels of hardware capabilities because that's what they were developed on/for.

I remember running x11 and Java w/swing on 8MB 486 laptop... So something is off if multiple cores at 30-100 times the frequency can't run a gui?

Yep. But on mobile, Linux seem to run fine on the n900 and Ubuntu Phones.

The FreeRunner and Zaurus were sluggish, but they’re also on hardware that’s about 15 years old

My Nokia N9 ran a Debian derivative quite well. Gosh I miss that phone.
