According to latest Steam stats[0], Linux hit > 5% for the first time ever, so definitely successful (to some degree).

I wish. I'm tired of not owning my phone. But I don't see a push being done to get a proper Linux phone
Sadly year of the linux phone feels like it's getting farther away.
What does "the year of the Linux phone" mean when half the phones already run Linux?
Android/Google does not fulfill the spirit of that. Yes it’s technically Linux, but it’s not what one expects from a Linux experience. We all know this, we all know Linux is under the hood, but “Linux phone” is basically shorthand for more user control, more open source aspects, more secure/private, and far away from companies like Google/apple/etc. Android phones do not fill that request even with graphene and such. Google still has too much control.
