Anyone have a pine phone and running Linux (Ubuntu) as your EDC?
Thinking of buying a cheap phone with new number to see how it goes. Would like to talk and text though.
Any excitement on these new developments and with what is going on with frame works also?
Edit: What phone would you recommend to do it with? Pine phone is med range pricing.
I currently have a GP6a
You can try one of the phones that are supported by Ubuntu Touch. I don’t know how good it runs but there are several cheap (= old) phones on the list.
This is 100% the way.
Pine hides their hobby-grade hardware behind in-development software. I owned both a PBP and PPP and much as I’d like to say otherwise, really can’t say anything to recommend either.
Chiming in to say that my Fairphone 4 worked well with Ubuntu Touch, though I have since come to the conclusion that Waydroid doesn’t really work for my usage due to many social apps not integrating well with notifications, as well as missing AGPS support, so I am back on Android with CalyxOS. If you find that GNU/Linux is not daily-driveable for you, I can definitely recommend that.
