Linux-Smartphones DACH

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/46776421

Title. I made a space to try and encapsulate all the known Linux Mobile Projects. Ideally this could've been a list or directory of sorts, but since I didn't find one, I kinda just decided to make one. - it's inspired by postmarketOS' space.

You can find it at #mobile-linux-rooms:nope.chat -- Could've had a better name but frankly couldn't think of a better name at the time.

Includes

• PostmarketOS
• NixOS (whole)
• Mobian (Unofficial Space made for this)
• Droidian
• UBPorts
• Fedora PocketBlue
• OpenSUSE Mobile
• SailfishOS (Unofficial Space made for this)
• Pine64 (whole)
• KDE (whole)
• Phosh
• Gnome Mobile (room only)

Linux phones that are independent of Google/Apple and do not spy on you are still maturing and a bit hard for me to get here in the US. So, I recently de-googled my smart phone.

I will make due with it until one of the Linux smart phones finally mature enough in terms of hardware and capability that it can replace it.

My big question is, which Linux phone seems to be the most promising? Which one should I keep my eye one? And how long will it take before any Linux phone can start seriously competing with the major brands? PinePhone, Librem, Murena, etc. ?
