I don't know exactly what you mean by slowing down

Like the PC and Laptop landscape. There isn't money poured into new series and advertisement and hype generated like crazy. Market moves forward at a slower rate.

But for a modern smartphone to be functional...

Obviously this isn't a replacement for your iphone or nexus. This is a enthusiast's toy who want to support the libre movement and possibly contribute to it.

What exactly do you mean by Linux is ahead of its competition?

I think Linux on the desktop is an amazing platform. There are several different high quality user interfaces and window managers and each one have their strong points.

I personally cannot stand windows on the desktop for 10 minutes.
