For instance, one morning during my commute to work I attempted to listen to music on Tidal while browsing Google News. For the most part, the experience was bearable until I tried to share a link to Slack.
First of all, the sharing menu took too long to load, coming in at roughly 45 seconds or more. Next, opening Slack to share the link with my co-workers froze and crashed the device. This is one of the many examples of the 1 Plus failing to accomplish even a simple task that most modern phones can do in a matter of seconds. This only happened a handful of times but occurred more often than it should, even with a low-end device, resulting in a frustrating experience.

The fact that we have, essentially, a duopoly in the smartphone business is not for want of trying. Microsoft entered the market with a version of Windows running on ARM-based smartphones and it even made Windows available free on small-screen devices.
However, the lack of apps was a major stumbling block and Microsoft abandoned its challenge, having lost billions of dollars in the attempt. You can still buy Windows phones but most date from and will soon be out of support.
Canonical also had a go at the smartphone market with its Linux-based Ubuntu Touch. It failed.
In this case, the development was taken over by the UBports Community , which developed a port for the OnePlus One smartphone in Samsung tried with Tizen, which was supported by the Linux Foundation. The latest version uses a graphical shell from Jolla , the Finnish company that appears to be its major backer.
Whether it can buck the trend remains to be seen. In general, the problem with Linux on smartphones looks much like its problem on PCs.
Many and various groups enjoy developing new versions of the operating system, which are all more or less doomed from birth.
