@thelinuxexperiment I really love Lomiri (the UX). I can agree, there needs to be a better back button. But I'm on a smaller phone. So it's not that big an issue. I will add that if you are in the US, you may not get VoLTE. Basic calls and text will come in, but not MMS. And I have to switch bands to get internet.

You occasionally mention that you have a WH40K channel. I have searched, but the YouTube Administratum hasn't helped much. Can you direct me to that content?

@thelinuxexperiment I am very seriously considering Post Market OS after this recent debacle with Android and Google wanting to lock down what apps you can install on your own device.I'm not personally affected by it since I run LineageOS, but Google stopping the updates for AOSP except for twice per year and trying to lock people out of installing their own applications will affect me in the future if open source devs just give up.

@thelinuxexperiment Maybe Ubuntu Touch, at the moment, is what Firefox OS set out to be? With a better default browser and a way to add websites to the App Grid, I could see this bring a very capable device. However, I'm not an app guy to begin with, I like web stuff because I can use that cross device.It would have been also cool to hear if f.e. Spotify with Waydroid reliably plays music, also in the background and with the phone being locked. Maybe for the next review 😊

This is the official the linux exp lemmy community?

@thelinuxexperiment you do not need to use terminal to install waydroid, just install helper app open-store.io/app/waydroidhelp

@thelinuxexperiment Ignis a particularly dumb idea to put the taskbar on the side on a narrow aspect ratio screen.

@thelinuxexperimentYo @thelinuxEXP what smartwatch are you wearing there?I have a #MiBand 8 that works really well with #GadgetBridge!Wouldnt want to use one with the proprietary hell they expect you to use, but Gradgetbridge is impressive, so many devices supported!

About Waydroid, sadly the project doesnt seem to do well. They still use Android 13 which is now End-of-Lifeendoflife.date/androidAlso being based on LineageOS with possible "GAPPS" makes it pretty insecure. Using GrapheneOS as base with sandboxed play support would make it way more robust (while still way less secure than GrapheneOS due to the lack of kernel hardening etc).Also note that Android heavily uses #SELinux for it's app sandbox and security model. Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS and maybe others run Apparmor (if anything). There is some compatibility layer, but I dont expect it to be nearly as complete as real SELinux. So not only will you run hacky, end-of-life Android, but probably with a broken sandbox too, which makes this a total mess.

What if Ubuntu Touch successful? :)

I bought the Ubuntu phone when it first came out. Very exciting times to be a Linux head. I absolutely loved it and still miss it.

Today I rely on certain accessibility features paired with gestures that I haven’t seen implemented anywhere else. But otherwise I’d like to have that phone again.

I wonder why he thinks Ubuntu touch is the best so far? Sailfish OS seems to have come a lot closer
