Linux mobile is surprising more usable than I would expect

@Kiloku Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's good but less bad

@BrodieOnLinux @Kiloku biggest issue for linux mobile is the enormous effort it takes to properly support just one device.

Its second issue is app support, but with waydroid and kirigami etc that is way less dire.

@BrodieOnLinux time to torture my lumia 950 i guess

@BrodieOnLinux Which phone and distro are you trying out (I've used pretty much all of the linux phones and OSes and am curious)?

@BrodieOnLinux I can't wait till it's on par with Android and iOS. But I'm not sure if I'll live that long. ;)

@BrodieOnLinux Can't currently get any pmOS systemd images working on my oneplus 6t. I was able to get OpenRC images to work, but systemd is still being worked on I guess

@BrodieOnLinux I run KDE on a hybrid tablet-laptop (Microsoft Surface Book 2) and it's surprisingly good with a touch screen, but could use some improvement. I tried GNOME too, but it was kind of broken in some ways. KDE has gone further with touch input than GNOME from what I can tell, unless some things were just broken for me

@BrodieOnLinux Anybody recommend the Pinephone or the Librem phone for general use as a intermediate Linux user?

Can I plug my T-mobile sim card into one of these phones and expect it to work?

@BrodieOnLinux As usable as it really needs. Ive lost count of how much time ive been daily driving it

@BrodieOnLinux does this mean there is a video about it in the pipeline? 🤩

@BrodieOnLinux whatcha experimenting with? feel free to hmu if you want advice/help/insider knowledge

@cas @BrodieOnLinux Based on a short video he shared he has a FuriLabs FLX1. I have one too in addition to the plethora of devices running PMOS 😅

@dperson @BrodieOnLinux ahhh so KindaLinuxOnAndroidMiddleware i see
