Has anybody attempted to daily drive linux on their smartphone? like sailfish os, postmarket, librem, etc. I’ve been getting more interested in them as my pixel 4a is starting to look real old
How was it it? Were you able to run banking apps? battery life? experience with using CJK keyboards?
As far as I can tell, RCS messages are not supported anywhere, in addition to NFC payments (no surprise there). 5G seems also iffy
I just think it’s worth to keep in mind that the most widely used smartphone OS already is a Linux… especially since people who want so called “real Linux phones” end up wanting to run Android crapware on them anyway.
If you want a Linux phone that can run Android apps, they are very plentiful. You can even run so-called Linux applications including entire desktop environments. Android is very much not a “fake Linux.”
(That is not to say I have no interest in non-Android Linuxes, I just don’t think it’s worth switching just so you can claim to run “real Linux”)
