#linuxphones

"If it doesn't support #WhatsApp natively, it's going to be a failure" was one of the common criticisms during #UbuntuPhone times ten years ago.

"Does it support #Signal?" is a common question about #linuxphones.

Good reminder that we still haven't figured out messaging at all and #lockin can easily happen even with solutions that look more free and open at first glance. There are still no good alternatives to Signal's iOS/Android apps.

Fediverse! Talk to me about #LinuxPhones! I want to diversify from #iOS with current events being what they are, but am only a bit #Linux literate. Would appreciate personal testimonials!

Currently looking at #PinePhone & #ShiftPhone… opinions? Other suggestions?

[edit] Would mostly be: doing financial things & social media (assuming via browser). Would like to try #UbuntuTouch, so I could try installing Signal? Nothing hugely demanding, just needs to get online via cell signal. :sharesloved:

With all the BS of Apple doing their AI spying (amongst other issues), it's that time of year where I once again look for a "third party" phone to migrate to as a daily driver.

I've followed lots of Linux phones (running Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, postmarketOS and others), feature phones running KaiOS, and others.

Heck I was even building my own phone on an RPi years ago (web.archive.org/web/2021072515 ) and have been following the PinePhone project for a very long time.

My current research is pointing towards a Fairphone 4 running e/OS (degooglefied android). I live in the US, so this is as close to the Fairphone as I can get currently: murena.com/america/shop/smartp (edit: Annnnd, it's no longer available.)

Really I just need a phone that runs Signal and can run some sort of GPS app. Everything else I can do via a web browser.

I hate Apple/iOS phones. The only thing I hate more than Apple phones are Google/Android phones.

Tinker · TinkPhone: KDE Plasma Mobile on a Raspberry PiAs part of my TinkPhone project (see: TinkPhone: Project Synopsis - Raspberry Pi Smart Phone), I want to test out various mobile operating systems. My current favorites are KDE Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch. For this blog post, I'll focus on KDE Plasma Mobile. KDE Plasma MobileKDE Plasma Mobile is

#digitalemuendigkeit with #debian on smartphones, aka #mobian . I was suprised that over 20 people joined yesterdays meetup and some brought their #linuxphones with them. People played around with #phosh #kdeplasma #mobian #postmarketos #Fairphone5 ..
Also thanks @awai for the #pinephonepro rental. It was used to present the slides and was flashed with #mobian trixie. People could choose between #lomiri, #phosh and #kdeplasma in the login manager.

I’ve been daily-driving a #LinuxMobile for over 2 years—both the #Librem5 and OnePlus 6, #PureOS and #PostmarketOS. I’ve loved the experience, especially the #Phosh UI and #Libadwaita apps.

But #LinuxPhones aren’t reliable enough for me now. With a newborn, I need to be reachable, so I’m switching back to Android.

Any recommendations? I’m torn between a #GooglePixel or #Fairphone with #GrapheneOS / #CalyxOS. Bonus points if I can dual boot Linux, or likely install it in some years!
