@tophneal Interesting. I only saw screenshots of Sailfish. I loved the way it looked.

Usually found Elsewhere, so this should be the perfect place for me. Longer thoughts at Acid Test (http://www.molvray.com/acidtest/) and Reimagining Democracy (http://www.molvray.com/govforum), (1st ed. 2010).

@Bullerfar @tophneal One thing you have to watch out for with linux phones (if it’s important to you) is:
Do they actually work as phones?
Sending and receiving texts, that sort of thing. Super basic stuff. I had a pinephone for a while and it had a bug where it wouldn’t wake from suspend for an incoming call or message. A bit inconvenient!
On the forums, the talk would be about how well you could use IRC or the like. That’s nice. But I’d use a laptop for that. For me at least, a phone needs to be a phone.
Currently using Graphene which really does work, but isn’t a linux phone in the sense you’re using it (I think?).
@Allero @DieserTypMatthias Erm, three years ago I bought a Pixel 6a for USD150. Unless they’ve become collectors’ items, it’s presumably less than that now.
Though probably more the $50, I’d guess, so your point still stands.
