My thoughts are "when can I buy one that I can daily drive?"

in the UI department am i on the verge of "fine i'll do it myself". but the rest is kinda lit. on the pinephone pro is gps still a problem and the camera ia atill green and breaks after suspend. Wifi has no WPA3 on the ppp. I miss the mix of gesture and 3 button navigation in plasma mobile waydroid is a nice feature but it does not pretend to be like a normal phone (it looks to apps like it has no locked bootloader). there nedd to be more native phine application using QTquick or others

If it was cheaper I would like to try the Librem.

But the PureOS New Optional Subscription thing scares me away now.

had an Aquaris e5 a few years ago, used it as daily driver for almost two years. Wouldn’t try again. Banking apps? Bluetooth in the car was bad, gps hardly worked in the car. The UBports gui is okay, but not appealing, My no go: apps. Not that I need many, but alas I cannot book a train ticket or a hotel room, no casual games or news apps are available, I cannot access my bank accounts, linux phone feels like a dead horse.

do u mean a phone that runs Linux kernel, or a phone that runs an open sourced UI for Mobile? Either case, Yes, I love my Android.

I have a Fairphone 3 and had Ubuntu Touch running on it for a while. It works fine but the Waydroid solution for getting some apps to work is really clunky.
I am now running e/OS and am really happy with it. I think the App Lounge is really well done and is integrated with F-Droid.

it is crucial to define a „Linux phone“ . Just the bare technical part ? Or a handy communicator where the telephone plays a minor role ? The state of integration and migration ( what migrates to what ?) is still rather open 🥸

Need to be seperate shitty g_ogles filthy ecosystem; such as libraries, package system, distrubition system...
Biggest issue is out-of-the-box...
Stupid hardware manufacturers (except for a few that support open source) need to support projects like this, but it's very difficult due to economic reasons and their business approach. I don't know how we can use any hardware/device with Linux without the manufacturer's permission/intervention... It's very disappointing....

Awesome, Im using linux since my first phone. I tried an Ipad 3rd gen long ago but I think android is just better
