Same, though I think this will be the push the community needs to really launch a good Linux phone. It'll suck for awhile, but I'm looking forward to debating phone distros with all of you.

Sorry it took so long to reply, I was waiting for Gentoo to finish compiling on my phone.

I'm using arch mobile btw

I use Debian as my daily driver and am disappointed to see that the best-supported devices under Mobian within my budget are the Pinephone (which has shockingly low specs) or the Pinephone Pro (recently discontinued, no longer sold. Also had poor specs).

I was toying with was getting an SBC with an LTE/5G hat & 7in touch screen, plugging it into a portable battery, and 3d printing a case for it.

Fairphone with PostMarketOS seems more practical.

What are your thoughts on the Furi Phone?

[–] chellomere@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd get disappointed if its distro wouldn't be called FuriOS

[–] antrosapien@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The FLX1 runs FuriOS, which is an operating system based on Debian, designed and oriented for mobile use without any artificial limitations.

I have the PinePhone Pro in a drawer somewhere. It's just a fun toy, not even remotely usable as a daily driver. But I might have a look at it again and see how many tasks still remains before I could theoretically use Mobian as a daily driver.
