Linux is a desktop OS. I hope it remains that way. My main worry is |
| 15 |
that some devs are pulling a Microsoft and bastardizing the desktop UI |
| 16 |
to make it "touch compatable". Firefox has changed to the |
| 17 |
Atrocious^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Austraulis GUI. In plain English, it sucks. |

I've switched to Seamonkey to keep the old interface. |

If you want a smartphone/tablet without Android, I recommend rooting |
| 21 |
the device, and having CyanogenMod installed. It's Android without the |
| 22 |
Google-garbage. A selection of FOSS apps is available at |
| 23 |
https://f-droid.org/ Because CyanogenMod is based on Android, it can |
| 24 |
run native Android apps from Google Play. |
