Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y’all are using and what your experience has been.

I just fat-fingered myself into a need for a new phone. I’d really like to get away from Android, but I’ve yet to hear anyone say any smartphone running Linux is ready for daily driving.
😢
Huh, I’ve never noticed you write a message without the need to replace a “th” before.
Sometimes, sentences come togeþer wiþ so many in a row I feel self-conscious. More rarely, I produce one, or none.
You become hyper-aware of how heavily English relies on “th” when you walk þis paþ.
Did you ever read that book that was written without using the letter “e”? Now there’s something on which English - the word itself even - depends.
la disparition?
I think you’re making a joke I’m too oblivious to get, but in case I was wrong:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsby_(novel)
(Not to be confused with a similarly titled book that definitely uses the letter ‘e’)
Oh, it wasn’t a joke, I’m just french and though you were referring to the french novel la disparition that is also written with no e’s
A book without it? I couldn’t show the world a short post not including it! Why though? This is so hard for our brains. 💀
for fun I would say, although I must add that making a short post without including a awfully common part of our common language is a task that can be brought about without too much labor.
I know, I was trying to josh 😭 you almost did it though! Doing this also allow to find about words you don’t know!
I have been waiting for 10 years or more. And it still isn’t. It will never be unfortunately.
Eh they said that about desktop Linux not that long ago
I do think it will move way faster the shitter android gets.
Facts. At first there was such an enthusiastic Android crowd who was having so much fun with it. (Not to mention contributing TONS of free labor and promotion.)
And now Google is just saying “NO! NOT YOURS! WE’RE GREEN APPLE NOW!”
I hope those actual genius nerds who love user-centric tech accelerate an alternative just out of sheer spite at this point.
Tbh I would love to tinker around with my 3-year-old phone and get something working (I believe it was running Android 12 on last update), but I don’t necessarily have the time, willingness, or even knowledge of where to start. I’m a hobbyist programmer who mostly does full-stack web development these days with a sprig of application programming on Desktop. I’ve never even tried to go into mobile tech, and when I did, it was for small things like a Raspberry Pi which is essentially an ARM computer that can run mostly anything an AMD computer can. Phones aren’t like that.
Really, its a function of how many of us give these companies money to buy their hardware
So, yeah, the shittier android gets, the more of us jump ship. The more of us jump ship, the better the ecosystem becomes.
