The community around Linux phones is interesting. The phones do sell to a lot of people, but it seems a lot of those people come back to complain that Linux phones isn't what they expected it is. For some reason all the distributions for the PinePhone are bending over backwards
I have ordered my PinePhone this weekend. I don’t know if I can hack some software for it (I know Rust so I guess it will work), I have lots of experience with Linux. I think many people realized that free software phone is the only way forward or is it hype? I own an old de-googled ZTE phone (way better h/w wise than PinePhone) and I need a backup phone for it. Given recent Google news and general direction where things are heading there is no way forward with Android or iOS if you care about privacy, repairability and long term support. I guess maybe Fairphone or /e/ are worth looking into for people not ready to hack on some scripts to get their photos done…
