I haven’t had any device that wasn’t recognized by Linux in 15 years. Do you have examples of hardware that “normal people” use and does not work?

You’d need to have a job first

I also hated it when I had a OnePlus 8. Luckily it fell in the floor and the screen broke. My insurance repaid me the full price and with that I bought an Xperia 5 II. It is sooo much better with its small form factor, flat screen, its stereo front facing speakers, it’s headphone jack and its long battery life!

Have a look at the Xperia 10 Series (for example the Xperia 10 VI), they have all those features for what I find is a reasonable price.

Sony Xperia still have front facing speakers.

I really like that Sony didn’t abandoned good features just to follow the hype. Some of those features are a headphone jack, an SD card and a small screen (big screens also available in the 1 series).

How do you know the “average person” doesn’t do childish things when out in the wood by themselves?
