I’m looking for opinions from people about their personal preferences on the best Linux phones available today — both software and the phone hardware to accompany it.
My leading contenders right now are postmarketos running on a used Pixel or sailfishos running on jolla or Sony Xperia.
My priorities:
- commitment to FOSS, no lock-in
- Premium-tier phone hardware (camera, screen, battery)
- performant Android emulation or performant web app integration
- ongoing organization or community support
- few/no dependencies on American companies or products
Subjective and biased opinions are welcome; I’m really trying to get a feel of how the earliest adopters are thinking.
i mean it is called “post market os”, and yeah hardware driver support isn’t that good unless you get a community supported device. my one doesn’t have camera, cellular, gps, etc.
Luckily my phone is pretty well supported out of the testing section though, so it has wifi and (partially broken) 3d acceleration
Mine is a budget phone so the performance is not optimal, but it’s still fun to play around with.
I don’t think the phones being old matter that much though, I haven’t had too much performance issues (except my browser that doesn’t have 3d acceleration working)
