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 started to use ubuntu touch on a pixel5 in 2020. did this for almost two years until the phone broke down. it also was my first smartphone. so it opened up new possibilities.
i switched to a google free android after this. honestly i miss ubuntu touch from time to time especialy for its keyboard. i never used banking apps or the like, but even now there is one app i need some workarounds. so yeah. i guess the linux phone is viable for me. i just didn’t want to go for second hand hardware this time. and at the time the phone i went for wasn’t yet supported by ut.
haven’t had a look into the linux phone for a while. but will definetly, the next time i need to switch phones
Ubuntu Touch is such a nice user experience. If it had an Android-tier app ecosystem it’d be a very nice daily driver.
back then it didn’t have signal-client i could get to work. that is of course a hard no if you work in the us military …
Sounds like it’s possible, but maybe with a backup phone. Unfortunately I do have some apps that I need to be able to run which only support iOS and android
anbox exists. but yeah. it’s not for everyone and every situation.
Anbox is dead,wadroid exist nowdays
