It’s a small price to pay to shatter android chains.

Planning to install PostmarketOS, feeling called out.

As an enthusiastic idiot, why is it apparently so difficult for linux to provide basic telephone functionality? That seems like an oddly low tech thing to be struggling with.

Just needs a phone app. Then it's a phone. That's how all the other phones work.

I have Sailfish OS, just got the new Jolla Phone and I am quite happy with it. Surprisingly daily driveable for my requirements. My phone isn't a tiny laptop. Mic, IEM and camera work without issues. So does 4G VoLTE.

I know, its controversial for having some closed source UI parts (that are the reason why it doesn't feel like a tiny laptop) but the Linux/GNU underneath is open source. To those who are not requiring 100% FOSS purity it is an interesting choice.

Not seeing the problem here lol

I'm probably going halium/ubports until power gets sorted. I REALLY want Nixos on a phone, But I need to be able to have reliable inbound calls, data and full day battery.

Honestly the biggest problem is how much people are overthinking trying to make a Linux OS for a phone. Starting from zero and making a mess instead of just forking asop and redoing the UI/storage framework. We don't necessarily need something made from scratch just something that's actually open and in our control

When I tried Droidian, this was absolutely true, lol. Ubuntu Touch feels more like an os made for a phone, but has a lack of applications outside of waydroid and push notifications barely work

Mobile linux is not ready to be an OS for a phone.

That's intended, yes. Cell infrastructure sucks and very little people want it. Those who want enough to write software for it will experience how much it sucks slightly behind the surface and will probably not want it anymore.

Hate to be that obligatory guy, but here we go - GrapheneOS is still the only non-corporate mobile OS that's fully suitable to be your daily drivers.

All the rest are just gadgets that you may want to fiddle with from time to time, unless you are a true purist, in which case you are probably well acquainted with your postal services and the community would benefit greatly if you also become interested in chemistry.
