According to what constitutes a true meritocracy, we all do. Sadly, when folks start to make decisions for others based solely on their own wants/needs, then it's no longer community or a meritocracy.

Fragmentation is a problem when it turns into noise. And that's what is exactly going on in the hardware portion of our wants/needs now. To support these fragmented wants/needs, the hardware has become fragmented as well, which dilutes the support.

Being on the same page for a common something isn't all bad. Choices aren't all bad either. But lack of support and yet a device that delivers even 1/2 of what this thread proposes are needs has yet to happen anytime in 2016 or yet in 2017.

In fact, the majority of the needs in this thread are satisfied in anachronistic hardware from 2008 or such. But good luck on finding any of that in pristine shape or affordable enough this year... or worse, with drivers that support our wants/needs.

tl;dr No device released yet is ideal for more than a very small amount of people that want GNU/Linux handhelds and it is not going to change very soon unless a major manufacturer releases a platform with capable drivers and we show up in record numbers and buy the damn thing.
