It depends by what job you have: a plumber, for example, could probably run their business entirely with their phone.
But we're missing the point, I'm not saying a smartphone can replace a PC, whether it be Linux, iOS or Android. I'm saying that If you need to do all the tasks that are required by a "modern day job" and you need to do them well, then I'm sorry (I really am) but Linux phones aren't ready yet.
Most people don't have the skill to troubleshoot a Linux phone, why don't we count them too in the statistics?
Then, I used "running a business" as just an example to indicate the "urgency of a functioning phone" for whatever reason: it might just be that you have a relative you have to take care of, or that you are a doctor/nurse that can be contacted on every moment, or that you're an a job hunt and cannot miss the call... I can go on for hours on why in A.D. 2024 a person from whichever social context cannot afford to be off the grid
God damn, the premise of running a business from a smartphone sounds depressing as hell to me. I feel sorry for anyone who tries that.
This community is called linuxmemes. You are talking to GNU/Linux users here. For everyone else it's going to be hard, obviously. It takes time to learn to use a completely different operating system.
