#linuxphones — Public Fediverse posts

OK, this is it for me. I'm now officially beginning my attempt to switch to a Linux phone. I don't care if I have to use 5 year old hardware ...

Linux smartphone users, what phone and OS do you prefer and why?

I'm in the process of learning about Linux OS on smartphones with the goal of eventually using a Linux phone as my daily driver.

What features are most important to you?
What do you mostly do with your phone other than call/text?
What about mobile banking?? >_>
Which phone do you feel pairs best with Linux?

Screen reader users: I am so sorry for what you're about to experience...

#flx #linuxphones #halium For anyone considering a Furilabs FLX phone, I just wanted to point out there's been a lot of issues going on with the company recently. Their blog post in 2024 about 4G and 5G were found to be false, as even today 5G still doesn't work properly in the USA on T-Mobile, on their FLX1 like they claimed it completely did.

Signal Messenger is a really good app.

Full stop.

But it's preventing me from adopting a Linux Phone.

I can't get away from iOS or Google because of Signal.

(and "degoogled" AOSP with sideloaded Signal doesn't make sense to me. I can't sort it out. I'm trying to.)

Looking at who I talk to on Signal, I wonder if I can get another end-to-end encrypted messaging app that compares to Signal that would run on a Linux phone and that I could migrate all of my friends and family over onto (so it would have to be crossplatform with iOS and Android.)

Anyone have any recommendations (from personal experience. I'm doing lots of DuckDuckGo searches and wading through AI slop right now).

I keep forgetting Phoc is wlroots. I wonder how well Sway runs on Halium phones, then. Can't seem to find any info about that.

Day 5

Uneventful. And isn't that what we want? I haven't rebooted since I have arrived. I might reboot tomorrow as #snapshot seems to be ... having some blinking screen issues. #megapixels seems to be working now though lol... I want to build megapixels 2.0... but... might need to upgrade and everyone is telling me not to...

Smartphone mit vorinstallierter Google-Alternative

Der potenzielle Markt für Smartphones, die auf Google-Apps und -Dienste verzichten, wächst ständig. Neben Projekten, die Linux-Phones entwickeln sind unter anderem Sailfish OS, LineageOS und PostmarketOS verfügbare Google-Alternativen.
