For me a phone is just more convenient in a lot of cases due to portability. I’m also relatively young and have been touchscreen typing since forever, so it doesn’t feel very out of place.
Combine that with Revanced/Morphe for YT, uBlock + IronFox for browsing, and an adblocking DNS, and ads aren’t really an issue. Add in GrapheneOS for granular app permissions and spyware removal, and I actually do feel some semblance of control over my own device, which is a nice change from previous phones I’ve owned.
That said when I can use my Linux laptop I greatly prefer it for work/school/gaming. The phone is mostly for communication, web browsing, and the fediverse.
