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.

      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.

      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.

          It will affect most of the world in a few years. Lurk around in the forum, and you’ll find some posts about which phones and carriers work well in the US. (I assume that’s where Chicagoland is?) VoLTE is enabled on an experimental basis for several phones running UT now.

      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.
