Not a lot of options, if you want a phone at all.
You can also get an older Samsung galaxy and install #pmOS on it.

yet another translator for #sxmo #pmos #linuxmobile
After #apertium and #libretranslate, here comes the #mtranslate based translator...

(the finnish speaker stutters a bit and i could not figure out why yet )
why is there still no fully featured image viewer on #linuxmobile #pmos ???
am I missing something, how do you view your images?
Gnome #Loupe = no scrolling backwards to newest picture, my issue got rejected
#Koko = displays super small, scaling goes offscreen
#Kde Pix = no button to delete a picture
#FuriOS = no bin/no flatpak
#feh = no onscreen keyboard overlay
#imv = (d)elete does not work
#swayimg = no interaction
#gthumb = does not fit mobile
#nsxiv = no delete
Question to the #LinuxPhone/#PostmarketOS/#PinePhone community: I still have the OG Pinephone from 2020 in a drawer and was playing around with the idea of using it as a semi-#dumphone / less distraction riddled device for day to day usage.
How is the current state of Linux on a Phone and what about this particular device? The PmOS wiki page looks promising,, so does the Debian wiki (which was my main phone OS back then) but I am unsure how well this is maintained. IIRC, it became somewhat abandoned when the #PinePhonePro arrived.
@angelthorns update: actually i get full framebuffer console if i do console=efifb (NOT tty0!!) #pmos #kernel #qualcomm
The time has come to let my kid borrow/use a phone. Luckily I have a oneplus running postmarketos lying around! Any tips on setting it up?
Only meant for texting and calling specific contacts. Is there a way to set restrictions? I've removed apps that aren't relevant, such as firefox, but kids are clever, so I should have a better gameplan going forward
@fell I would expect #pmos lemmy community should work for you well :)

@tech_geek i faily drive a pixel3a with #pmos & #phosh and i can recommend it. since gps is functioning, everything works (except the baxk camera which is without focus) for me!
I'm trying to get a hyperpixel4 display working on RPi CM5 with #AlpineLinux 3.22 (or #pmos). While the console works on RPi OS it fails on Alpine - using identical config.txt tweaks.
drm_rp1_dpi and rp1_pio fails to load on Alpine. From loading with insmod it seems that rp1-pio fails due to unknown symbols.
The symbols are provided by rp1.ko - but that cannot be loaded due to "module is already loaded" (which it is not ).
Now I'm stucked an weird. Any ideas?
i’ve seen some people on here who use postmarketOS as their daily driver now that is has systemd. if that’s you i want to hear about your experience! i’m deeply curious as it seems pmOS has matured a lot now
Perseverance pays off!
I have - after quite a lot of fiddling - got @postmarketOS booting on a OnePlus6, with full disk encryption enabled.
I am really excited to give this a try.
Even the official image listed on https://postmarketos.org/install/ does not appear to be functioning for touchscreen input on #PostMarketOS with the #OnePlus6
Was thinking of getting a bigger #eMMC module for my #PinebookPro, but the one that was recommended was $50 for 256GiB which is a little... ridiculous.
I think I'm just going to wipe the 60GiB stock eMMC with #pmOS, fix up the loose screws, and get a 256GB microSDXC card for extra storage.

Eh, ok.
I think the FOSS Android builds deserve more credit than just being Android with a different theme. At the very least, "AOSP without Google crap plus some other niceties."
Unfortunately, there's not a lot else. I mean, yes, there's #pmOS and many other amazing projects, but given how much people live on their phones and depend on crummy things like their banking apps to work, there's not a lot of options.
It's a bad state of affairs.
If AOSP goes by the wayside, I guess I'll get a used iPhone and use it like a dumbphone. I know some folks that do that already.
I do love my FOSS Android phone, though. It's a pretty decent middle ground between privacy and "functionality."
P.S., ARM is a horrible platform. Just look at the progress of any project that tries to get a de-blobbed OS running on bare metal on any modern phone. They never make it particularly far. Even with blobs.
Out of curiosity do any of the #mobilelinux devices support WGPU? I have tested both #FLX1 and #PPP and neither one seems to work even though WGPU supports GLES and they both support GLES 3 but seems like WGPU doesnt work on it even if glxgears does. I opened a ticket for FLX1 a while back but I marked it as potentially a halium based issue.
I want to see if any other device is working before i open a mobile linux ticket
I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:
I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.
I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.
It's always best to try to #reuse! <3
Thinking of trying #postmarketOS on my #PinebookPro.
I didn't even know you could run it as a desktop OS.
Supposedly the installer supports #FullDiskEncryption, which is... "poggers," I think the kids say.
Love the new @postmarketOS website! It is cool to see a foss projects structure being laid out so clearly front and center (https://postmarketos.org/team/).
