"If it doesn't support #WhatsApp natively, it's going to be a failure" was one of the common criticisms during #UbuntuPhone times ten years ago.

"Does it support #Signal?" is a common question about #linuxphones.

Good reminder that we still haven't figured out messaging at all and #lockin can easily happen even with solutions that look more free and open at first glance. There are still no good alternatives to Signal's iOS/Android apps.

#3GoodThingsToday

1. Remembered to pick up some CBD gummies for the anxious dogs, while I wait for my milkbarn.farm order to arrive. We’ll see if they like fruit punch flavor? :blobcatshrug:
2. It’s Friday! No waking up early tomorrow! R’Amen! :fsm_jiggle:
3. Researching #LinuxPhones today. I’m surprised it’s such a limited space, tbh, but my contrary nerd senses are a-tingling… :linux:

Fediverse! Talk to me about #LinuxPhones! I want to diversify from #iOS with current events being what they are, but am only a bit #Linux literate. Would appreciate personal testimonials!

Currently looking at #PinePhone & #ShiftPhone… opinions? Other suggestions?

[edit] Would mostly be: doing financial things & social media (assuming via browser). Would like to try #UbuntuTouch, so I could try installing Signal? Nothing hugely demanding, just needs to get online via cell signal. :sharesloved:

Trying to de-google my life, if anyone has tips:

What are the current options for secure longer lived Linux phones currently?

I've seen a couple floating around (Fairphone etc) but I'd like to try one out that's been around for a couple years so I know it will probably STAY around for a while. I want to pick the one with longevity + security.

With all the BS of Apple doing their AI spying (amongst other issues), it's that time of year where I once again look for a "third party" phone to migrate to as a daily driver.

I've followed lots of Linux phones (running Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, postmarketOS and others), feature phones running KaiOS, and others.

Heck I was even building my own phone on an RPi years ago (web.archive.org/web/2021072515 ) and have been following the PinePhone project for a very long time.

My current research is pointing towards a Fairphone 4 running e/OS (degooglefied android). I live in the US, so this is as close to the Fairphone as I can get currently: murena.com/america/shop/smartp (edit: Annnnd, it's no longer available.)

Really I just need a phone that runs Signal and can run some sort of GPS app. Everything else I can do via a web browser.

I hate Apple/iOS phones. The only thing I hate more than Apple phones are Google/Android phones.

Tinker · TinkPhone: KDE Plasma Mobile on a Raspberry PiAs part of my TinkPhone project (see: TinkPhone: Project Synopsis - Raspberry Pi Smart Phone), I want to test out various mobile operating systems. My current favorites are KDE Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch. For this blog post, I'll focus on KDE Plasma Mobile. KDE Plasma MobileKDE Plasma Mobile is
