Consider that some phones can in fact, be turned into fully (or mostly) funcitonal Linux phones. you don’t necesarrily need to wait for a device to be released.

Oh they fixed 50% of the problems with Graphene! Now if they can only do something about the toxic behaviour of the dev behind the og…

I’ve treated a couple on a Fairphone 4, I’ve owned dsupported devices and I’m enamored, but there are some pros and cons, I highly suggest helping your distros and DE of choice to advance the daily drivability of mobile Linux offerings.

PostmarketOS is a bit annoying because of the mainlining process., but worth considering, specially if you’re a developer, or don’t mind tinkering with kernel configs, OR if you have a phone that is already supported. You got the Alpine repos, plus Flatpak, and Waydroid. (sidenote fairphones need some work, please send help if you can)

Mobian is similar to postmarketOS, but there’s Deloitian which can help adaption, although it uses Halium. Debian repos and Flatpak and Waydroid are available too.

Ubuntu Touch also uses Hailium, but is a great option for first timers, its easier to port to devices, and has a lot of devices supported and more in development/testing. But, also offers a vast versatility for running applications, not sure if more than the rest, though… (OpenStore, Waydroid, Libertine Containers for Ubuntu Repos+PPAs, no Flatpak though)

SailfishOS also uses Hailium, and is a continuation of Maemo and Moblin, and although its not FOSS, its more customizable than UT, and has more keyboard and sync options than most. If your device isnt officially supported you can still run android via Wayland (like all distributions here) this uses zypper btw, also no current flatpak, and has OpenRepos and Chum Repo.

There’s also Manjaro Mobile, which means there’s also Arch Mobile. There’s Fedora PocketBlue, its brand new, but stable in some devices.

As for Mobile Environments; Phosh is most common and I can’t complain, although I don’t enjoy gnome, its been in development for long enough that I’ll admit, its my preferred environment, despite needing another app to theme Qt apps.

GNOME Mobile is suppose to be mainline but, felt more limiting than Phosh, which has been running for longer. I didn’t try this much.

KDE Mobile, JFC I want to love it, but it currently still needs work, the Akonadi alternative wasn’t ready when I tried it, its very close to how Android works, and is the most customizable of the bunch. Again, if you can, send help for development.

Lomiri (UT) can technically be installed in any distroes, it has probably my favorite implementation of a status bar, there’s not much wrong with it, but I haven’t tested it outside of UT.

Lipstick, SailfishOS proprietary fork of NemoMobile, is beautiful and feels nostalgic to what old phones would’ve evolved into has we not have this duopoly. Its closed source so, you can’t contribute, but…

NemoMobile is in active development, and also prefers openSUSE as a base, I suggest checking them out and maybe contribute if it interests you.

There are more but I haven’t tried them.

My personal favorite were PostmarketOS, andSailfishOS. But I’d give someone Ubuntu Touch (or SFOS) for beginners, or Mobian for not-so-beginners.

Grapheme is a fork of android, not a GNU offering

What about non-foss collaboration? (Ie Game Dev)

Where is this hosted? What jurisdiction is netbird in?

My apologies I hadn’t notice the typo. I meant to say we need to switch off of windows to Linux. Thanks for pointing it out

You can be on Linux and still enjoy most of .NET. Hell, I’d say its high time for most to switch offtof Linux.

I’ll admit, I really enjoyed C# for Game Dev, but post Unity shenanigans that died off. And now Judy do boring, run of the mill backend stiff…

Though as a programmer, Ive been tempted to learn classic C, and even D.

Outside of corporate, I game found much fun (besides GDScript, cause game dev) but languages used by FOSS do get my attention from time to time.

Edit : correction to Linux

The DOW is almost 50,000

RCS has no documentation on how to be implemented… Thank you for the contribution btw

Does water have a wet problem?

And is why we don’t use Microsoft products.

En Migraine laughs at Gentoo after some time, but is dreadful of LFS as first option

Damn dude, that headache is bright to you by your continued use of Windows. That doesn’t happen in Linux.

Lineage is the base for a grand majority of custom roms

From one semi-closed garden to a fully closed gaden? Might as well try Lineage or e/OS

I don’t see why not, if you want, why not both

And this is why, we sold have https://joinloops.org/ instead

This list is pretty sick! But, what about for the US (Im from PR, so I sadly count as part of it) And maybe I’m being silly, but are these regionally popular? Or are they inter-operable?
