I run a pinephone daily during the first 5 or 6 months of covid but once I started going out again well... really poor camera and battery

Not reliable as a daily driver but very cool

GNU/Linux phones may not be, but Android/Linux is quite usable. Jesus should know the difference.

...are we ignoring android?

Honestly F-droid has shown that Android has a lot of potential

For those who have used each, which did you prefer, GrapheneOS or a Linux-based phone, and why?

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I have a "braveheart" pinephone (one of the first ones) and I just use it to play around with it's features, do distrohopping etc.)

Most of the time i used an arch build with phosh. But actually I highly recommend postmarketOS, the installer is straight forward and let you build whatever you want. Actually I run postmarketOS edge with encrypted f2fs and gnome-mobile on it. gnome-mobile works better on newer phones but it is still usable.

I prefer my grapheneOS phone because it is faster has more apps, apps are scaled correctly etc. Not too much battery drain...

PS. I managed to run Thunderbird usable on pinephone, I just play around with the look&feel and now I simply have just the mail cards and I am able to interact with it without too much scaling issues.
