  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Hey linux friends, what are you doing on your phones that a pinephone doesn't cut it? If I have a DSLR and don't give a shit about mobile social media, is there an issue?

    I'd say the big issue is how much extra effort things take to do. You are relying a lot on web pages instead of applications and a lot of them don't feel really well optimized. Actions that would normally take a minute might take four minutes.

    There's some issues with native apps too. When I was using my PinePhone I don't think I was able to get music to play in the background for example. I imagine this has been fixed by now but it was still frustrating.

    I'll be honest, I don't know the UX and was looking to actually pick up a pine phone. I will continue my research!

    I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.

    The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed. Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.

    If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.

    I've never had such issue and I've never heard of it, so it must be some old bug that was fixed long time ago.
