Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y’all are using and what your experience has been.

    Surprised no mention here yet of a Pixel 3a? Both Ubuntu Touch and PostmarketOS seem to run best on it, so I’ve had it on my eBay search notifications for a while hoping to be able to toy with one. I really don’t expect it to be daily driver material though.

      This, but Pixel 4a. Nearly identical phones, except one has more RAM.

      I just bought like five of them. Best Pixel on the market, imho.

      I wouldn’t do Ubuntu Touch on the P3a if you’re in an area where VoLTE is required. It seems this model is too old to get the treatment it needs.

      What about swappa? I just replaced my 3a with a 7a. I would consider donating it to the cause but had thought about doing something with it.
