Anyone use one of those Linux phones like pine phone or librem.

I was looking at a few months ago but settled on a deggooled phone. Are there user friendly distros for them?

    The only real issue holding it back for me is the battery life. I update the danctnix distro regularly to check progress, but the battery life is not production ready.

        True, I have considered it but

        • They don’t come cheap
        • They make it less a phone and more a mini laptop by having to open it up to use
        • Increases thickness

          Sure, there are drawbacks, but I think it worth it. It not only fixes the battery life, but also provides hardware typing which is important because we don’t have swipe-typing.

          I wish they made a slider keyboard…
