Which phone and OS should I pick?
Testing Tuba, a mastodon client on Droidian. It's fun to see how far linux on mobile has come. Droidian seems to work quite well on my old Pixel 3a. The apps look recognisable from my laptop, which is both good and bad. Maybe not always the most intuative when working witha touch screen. It's not quite on par with SailfishOS UX-wise. I will be paying attention to the development for sure!
Pinephone Linux phone price in the US and in the EU. $199 vs EUR 350. WTF. #linuxphones #linux #buyeuropean #pinephone
Wait - when did Ubuntu Touch get VoLTE support???

Yet another reason why I love my #SailfishOS phone.
I forgot my phone this morning, ohh well I can survive a day without.
Except for the fact I need SMS 2fa to log into all work services.
So.. it's a linux phone I have ssh access to it!
I manage to vpn home, ssh into my phone and extract all sms messages.
All of this took me 2-3 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to make this post. Give a lot of more clarity to it's appearance than their short video.
#MobileLinux folks, is there a way to use the #stevia on-screen keyboard from #Phosh on #GnomeMobile ?

Been a busy year on the phone front. My current mobile set up 31st December 2025:
Only phone with Sim card is a Unihertz Jellystar. This is small, convenient and sits easily in a pocket. Unfortunately, it's Google Android so not installed many apps ... from FDroid if available otherwise Play Store. Banking apps, govt apps (driving, health) on here. Sandboxed WhatsApp (for my friends who refuse to move), some chat apps (Signal, Delta). Also mail apps (Proton, Tuta). Provides hotspot for other phones.
Main phone is a refurbished OnePlus9 running IodeOS which is a hardened #LineageOS using FDroid and Aurora Store. All my social, productive, image, media and daily apps on here. No Sim, when out and about I hotspot the Jellystar if required.
Development phone is a refurbished OnePlus6 running #PostmarketOS and #Phosh. Via Gnome Software (which includes Flathub) tried a few chat apps (Flare, Conversations etc) but Delta Chat works best for me. Tuta is fine, Proton is run as a PWA. Tandem really good for storage of all PWAs. Simplenote great. Tuba good for federated social media. Camera not really usable. Maps ok. Love being able to SSH into the phone or use a Terminal. Calls - no SIM so only use via Delta Chat which work fine.
Hopes for 2026 - continued development and improvement of PostmarketOS and Phosh leads to my eventual adoption on a full time basis. This is the exciting bit!

#flx #linuxphones #halium For anyone considering a Furilabs FLX phone, I just wanted to point out there's been a lot of issues going on with the company recently. Their blog post in 2024 about 4G and 5G were found to be false, as even today 5G still doesn't work properly in the USA on T-Mobile, on their FLX1 like they claimed it completely did. They also are now closing the source code to Andromeda, their Android compatibility layer...
