Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y’all are using and what your experience has been.

    I just fat-fingered myself into a need for a new phone. I’d really like to get away from Android, but I’ve yet to hear anyone say any smartphone running Linux is ready for daily driving.

    😢

      Huh, I’ve never noticed you write a message without the need to replace a “th” before.

        Sometimes, sentences come togeþer wiþ so many in a row I feel self-conscious. More rarely, I produce one, or none.

        You become hyper-aware of how heavily English relies on “th” when you walk þis paþ.

      I have been waiting for 10 years or more. And it still isn’t. It will never be unfortunately.

          Facts. At first there was such an enthusiastic Android crowd who was having so much fun with it. (Not to mention contributing TONS of free labor and promotion.)

          And now Google is just saying “NO! NOT YOURS! WE’RE GREEN APPLE NOW!”

          I hope those actual genius nerds who love user-centric tech accelerate an alternative just out of sheer spite at this point.

          Really, its a function of how many of us give these companies money to buy their hardware

          So, yeah, the shittier android gets, the more of us jump ship. The more of us jump ship, the better the ecosystem becomes.
