What Linux based phones are actually worth trying? Something not built on old hardware, and can actually install apps, messages people and work as a phone. And that I won’t have to chase issues and bug fixes on nonstop to keep it working. Something stable for daily use, works in multiple countries, and not just something to play around with.
So far there's this company: https://furilabs.com/shop/flx1s/
The phones actually seem really neat, they're running real Linux, with Waydroid for sandboxed android apps. But it's got... quirks. It's very GNOMEy and there's still a lot of battery issues and it can be a bit awkward to use.
Also, since apps are sandboxed, something like sending pictures over Signal can be tedious without extra steps.
But it's an exciting step forward and the devs are really involved with the community!
Alternatively I imagine there's something like PostMarket on a Fairphone. Even with their issues, I appreciate what they're trying to do.
Are the fair phones really that bad on Ubuntu? I was sizing those up for my next phone
