There is now an 'on the go' section in Flathub to promote mobile apps

GnuPG best game

I think it's the other way round, when the amount of interesting SW is rising,the probability of good HW will be higher. And yes, as we can see, the SW can be developed independent of HW.

Linux tablets? I have a lenovo tablet that now runs fedora, but the hardware is not meant for gaming. I think Legends of Lumia was the game that I played, but the sound was missing.

Check out Pine 64s Lineup

They definitely exist, and there is progress, but even in the best case scenario, you’re far from being able to comfortably daily one. postmarketOS is probably the most consistently updated project at this time

Pine phone.
Yes they exist.
Yes it's usable buuuuttttt not for everyday use

Yes, they exist, but there is no reason to use them other than tinkering around. Also they have much worse security than Android or iOS. So if you need something private and open source there are a plenty of degoogled Android ROMs.

As I understand it, they've made a lot of their own improvements that improve the user experience.

I used to love Sailfish OS.

I guess I still do, but the problem is that while they recently expanded amount of devices they support, for some of them the "support" is just not what you think. Eg. I got Xperia 10 V just for the SFOS, but even though on their main list the device is listed as supported, turns out that camera, Android support and fingerprint sensor, these don't work. To be fair, this info was possible to find on their forums, and I did not have to pay for SFOS (they offer 6 month trial), so they have nothing to gain from communicating so badly, but it is what it is.

So in case you want to try it, just really make sure you know to what extent your device is supported.

They are enabled to (also) run on phones. E.g. libadwaita makes it possible to write application which can adapt to the screen size and therefore run on big and small screens.

It seemingly follows the Adwaita theme popularized by Gnome and widely accepted in the Linux community.

For me it's a nice layout and I certainly get some enjoyment out of it being uniform with the interfaces I like on my computer.

Because it is affiliated with gnome...

Mostly older phones, here's a list.
