It does what i need it to do, make/receive calls, surf the web and play videos when i’m out and about. For gaming i prefer Steam deck or PC. Other than that i’m not a lover of smart phones, in general i think they suck. If i could make/receive calls from a steam deck, i would trash my phone in a second.
Same, I’m really tired of the annoying Android logic. I wish we could have a logical OS where we could manage our files properly instead of the filesystem mess we currently have with stuff all over the place.
It didn’t matter when the phones just had a few megs of storage, but you can carry some serious data on those things nowadays.
Same. They just don’t do what I need on my phone. Hopefully that changes, but PinePhone HW kinda sucks (poor battery life and audio quality), and most of the other phones w/ Linux support have some pretty serious caveats.
I’d rather see phones with Ubuntu Touch, PostMarketOS, and Mobian OS’s.
i will second this too!
Imagine using Ubuntu Touch with Waydroid for Android Compatibility. Would be sick.
It works actually. I use this option daily.
Whoa that’s cool!
What device are you on?
Pixel 3a xl with unlocked bootloader.
Oh nice that it’s still holding up. May I ask if that’s your primary daily driver?

I’m using a pixel 3a xl with ubuntu touch. Works great!
I just looked and that seems surprisingly usable. I might just pick one up and mess with it.
