Reading this, I can only assume you want to be one of those people that Ubuntu targeted years ago, who can plug their phone into a dock and have the same power as top-tier desktop computer. Otherwise, I don't really see the point. Every machine has a different purpose. My telephone is for phone calls, texting, extremely light emailing, checking weather, using it as a GPS, occasionally taking a photo or a quick video. My Surface Book 3 is for actual on-the-road document work, programming, light gaming, and digital painting. My Ryzen Threadripper / RTX 3090 workstation at home is for no-shit, actual income-generating work and super-heavy-duty gaming. My Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H is for videography, but my Canon EOS R5 is for highest-quality stills, and my Sony A7C is for travelling. Every one of those cameras has different purposes, different use cases. Just like the rest of my hardware. There is no "one size fits all" anywhere, for anything. > More memory and faster CPUs make yesterday’s challenges trivial for today’s developers. Today's developers are by-and-large utter shit at designing software. Its usually poorly thought-out, poorly-documented, and poorly-maintained. The number of truly exceptional software programs out there is incredibly sparse.
