Question to the #LinuxPhone/#PostmarketOS/#PinePhone community: I still have the OG Pinephone from 2020 in a drawer and was playing around with the idea of using it as a semi-#dumphone / less distraction riddled device for day to day usage.
How is the current state of Linux on a Phone and what about this particular device? The PmOS wiki page looks promising,, so does the Debian wiki (which was my main phone OS back then) but I am unsure how well this is maintained. IIRC, it became somewhat abandoned when the #PinePhonePro arrived.
@simplex I think that statistics for even Linux desktop users are not too reliable as they generally dislike/distrust #telemetry and tracking, so Linux phone user count could be difficult.
If follower count here on the fediverse is anything to go by, the largest #LinuxPhone-related accounts @pine64, @purism, @postmarketOS appear to have around 13-10k followers. If app download count can give as a hint, the Gnome Calls app (originally made by Purism) was downloaded over 50k times from Flathub https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Calls
As for devices, phones sold with Linux preinstalled include the #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro, #Flx1 and #JollaC2.
Some older Android devices repurposed to install Linux include #OnePlus6, #Pixel3a and #Fairphone5.

HackadayUh oh 🫤
There is an issue with the production of the next wave of FuriLabs FLX1 Linux phones (due to geo-politics).
I wonder how different this altered FuriLabs FLX1 will be from what I thought I was ordering.
Will it end up being a phone that I can use on a daily basis as my main phone — which was my hope, when I ordered it.
Or, will it end up being an expensive "toy" I try a few times, and then never bother using again.
As much as I like the existing Linux phones, and am hopeful for the @Liberux, I'm kinda miffed that there isn't a good Linux phone in the general form factor of a #BlackBerry Leap, the all-time greatest smartphone form factor.
Like, give me some venture capital and I'd be up in that shit. I'd give it awesome specs, and have a tailored version of #Slackware with #Phosh on it. Maybe even #NetBSD for shits and giggles.
Does anyone daily drive #postmarketOS or any similar #linuxphone that is not an AOSP derivative?
How’s the experience?
@zak here's a post with a few other #linuxphone distros and then links to hardware support

linuxmobile.socialCalling all analog film photographers! I've been working on Filmbook, an open-source app to help you keep track of your film usage. It's built with Rust & GTK4/libadwaita for a smooth & modern experience – and it even runs on Linux phones like the Librem 5 and Pinephone Pro!
The first version is ready for testing, and I'd love your input on what features would make it even better! Join the community & help shape Filmbook: https://codeberg.org/bjawebos/filmbook #filmphotography #analogphotography #rustlang #gtk #opensource #community #testing #featureideas #librem5 #pinephone #linuxphone
OK, I can understand that this is a niche market and that there won't be as many sales for a #LinuxPhone as for an Android/IOS ... but €1,300 (minimum) for the first backers for the #LiberuxNEXX !?
