S9 rumors say 6gb + 128gb storage + a pretty sweet exynos, although I'm sure in NA we'll get saddled with a qualcom chip. If that is true and I can switch over to a full Fedora/Ubuntu distro I am 100% sold.
Perhaps the year of Linux... has nothing to do with "desktops" I think we need to start talking about the year of GNU !!! Linux on mobile. Honestly it seems pretty darn logical now... Android is nothing but a stripped down Linux distro, mobile hardware is getting to the point now that there really isn't much need to strip it down. If samsung pulls off a half decent GNU/Linux experience with Dex it could be a game changer. Android + GNU should work perfectly heck its even possible DexDistros will be able to just use the same kernel allowing users to switch back and forth. Samsung may be on to something.
