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

      you should definitely pick up a oneplus 6 or POCO F1 or similar (8 GB RAM), they should be in the $50 range and play around with it. the OS will get better with participation and there’s a number of things you can do on there that’s downright impossible on Android. I’m just cautioning that it’s not a substitute; but neither was Linux not that long ago.
