> People often talk about "the Year of Linux on the Desktop," but what about "the Year of Linux on the Smartphone"?

Ironic to start with it, given that "The Year of Linux on the Desktop" is a running joke, essentially playing on the fact that it probably won't happen anytime soon.

> A premium smartphone that officially supports Linux mobile, something like the Google Pixel 6, 7, 8, or 9.

Is the argument here that what's missing to Linux on mobile is official support from Google?

> A Chromium-based mobile browser

Of all the things missing on Linux on mobile (and there are more than enough), this does not sound like one. Firefox is fine. The low battery efficiency and the lack of many important apps is much more of a problem.

> Banking and government apps.

And most other apps, too.

And the security model. Because for Linux on mobile to become mainstream, it would have to be used by normies.

Don't get me wrong: I really love the efforts made by projects like PostmarketOS. But before starting the joke of the Year of Linux on mobile, it would have to get to a point where it is actually usable there.
