are there any decent devices that have a fully working pmos build?
The best ones where basically everything works as intended are: OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, Xiaomi POCO F1
I have a OnePlus 6T and the only missing pieces are calls and camera. Both work, but not reliably yet. Everything else is pretty much there.
The sooner there is a rom compatible with most android devices, the better.
I’d be off Android so fast.
Like 90% of the blame here goes to Qualcomm AFAIK :/
I hope there’s a good alternative soon. I’d love a Linux variant phone that is usable.
And Signal gets on board
They already have a Linux app, I can’t see them not making UI adjustments for Linux phones.
I’m also personally fine just using matrix but thats just me.
The Signal lead has been vocally against doing a fully fledged version for Linux for a while now. He really likes his closed ecosystems. “for security”
Desktop Linux is soooo insecure because users can access their own data.
Ah, good to know. I don’t really use it (just have previously) so didnt know that.
I’d be curious how that would swing with a heavy number of users switching to a linux phone.
matrix lad myself… but
Agreed, just not the statement I was responding to, which I took as Signal - the company - getting on board with Linux mobile. But maybe I misinterpreted.
Project status: archived
oof
i know Flare is another client for Linux, which does adapt itself to window size so it should work on mobile
tho it can’t be used as a primary device easily (so you’ll need signal on another phone) and from past experience, the linking can be pretty iffy
…i saw that… curious. #linuxphoneapps had a few options tho… but i, sadly, don’t use signal… so not sure.
This is great news!
For those unaware, Google is continuously enacting policies that are closing down the open environment of Android, and I fear this will significantly harm projects like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and others.
If you can spare a couple dollars, please consider throwing some money at PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux project you like.
Just donated some money to them. Haven’t even tested a build yet but I’m excited based on what I’ve seen over the years.
are you aware of any articles/documentation that can make a noob aware of how these projects compare to each other?
i’m going to eos on a nothing phone in the near future, but that’s only because i can find step-by-step documentation with exact hardware and eos version on how to do so thanks to Lemmy.
