Has anybody attempted to daily drive linux on their smartphone? like sailfish os, postmarket, librem, etc. I’ve been getting more interested in them as my pixel 4a is starting to look real old
How was it it? Were you able to run banking apps? battery life? experience with using CJK keyboards?
As far as I can tell, RCS messages are not supported anywhere, in addition to NFC payments (no surprise there). 5G seems also iffy
nowhere close to being daily driver material. and I don’t mean the esoteric stuff you mention (NFC, 5G, etc.) I mean just normal, everyday stuff, like you turn it on and it works. source: I own the fastest device supported by pmOS and no UI (gnome, phosh, plasma, etc) works even remotely acceptable.
this is a fun project to tinker with and marvel at some choices made but if you’re thinking you can switch, that’s simply not an item on the menu.
them guys are working on super-complex stuff with no funds to speak of and expecting anything resembling an OS that’s developed for close to two decades by the richest corporations in the world isn’t realistic.
sucks to hear, but thanks for your info!!
