From the post:

>Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus' Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My smartphone also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage. In short, it's more powerful than most of my laptops. So why not use it as a laptop? Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced -- at long last -- a native Linux Terminal application in its March 2025 Pixel Feature Drop. Of course, Android is Linux. However, it's a mobile-first Linux distribution with a smartphone-friendly interface that bears little resemblance to the traditional Linux shell interface, never mind the Linux graphical user interfaces and their programs. That's changed now.

Yeah, there has been a ton of progress to get things to run under ARM though over the last 10-ish years. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be. I remember having to setup my own personal cross-compiling environment to get basic stuff working on various little SBC's I had.
