Yeah, still, id rather just go with a fairphone running linux. This whole phone and price tag is ridiculous, literally a monstrosity
You can run linux on a fairphone???
It can but prob won't work in a few scenarios like calling emergency services. That alone I'm out. I want it more than anything, but if my phone could only do one thing that would be it.
Imma blow this persons mind
Yes, the fairphone can run pmos(or nura now i guess) which is linux based. It actually boots linux as far as i know and doesnt pull shenanigans like ubuntu touch for compatibility.
In short, yes.
That's it that's the whole answer honestly. As with anything Linux there is a ton of progress being done by very few people & your milage may vary.
Read the wikis, watch the hands-on videos & you'll get an idea if it's ready enough for you. But, imho, it's a good project & totally worth it for me as it is.
