If I wanted to get into linux phone development, what's a good entry point into this?
Linux phone development is more or less the same as linux development, just with a computer that has a smaller screen and a modem.
I go to Flathub. Click the first app I see.
One of the biggest drawbacks to me about Linux is the aesthetic quality. This gives me alot of hope. As the author said this might really well be a turning point.
I've been really happy with Cinnamon on Linux Mint with the MintY-Dark themes.
Damn that’s sad to read - for those unaware, Linux had one of the first app stores ever in about 2002 (Click n Run on Lindows/Linspire).
I have to say I just don't like Gnome's design. The shift away from text and towards more and more abstract icons, the "don't theme my app movement", removing features I consider pretty essential like typeahead.... Maybe mobile is where their weird (to me) design choices will finally shine though. Also looking forward to what KDE can accomplish in this space.
I'll admit, part of my dislike for the new title bars is probably irrationally rooted in just wanting things to stay like they were on windows 98 when I first became familiar with computers, forever, and never to diverge too much from that. But those unlabelled icons, they really do puzzle and frustrate me. On websites too

The “don’t theme my app” thing just tells me that GNOME/GTK+/Adwaita aren’t built in a way that gracefully handles theming, or that devs building apps with them are doing things like hard coding colors when they should be using dynamic system colors such as those provided by UIColor[0] in UIKit.

Zorin is also beautiful. I installed it on a whim, and it became my daily driver just because it felt so nice to me.
That's cool and all, but who is actually out here using a linux phone?
We're not there yet, but we won't ever be unless people put effort into it. The linux desktop used to suck, too
