The last time I checked, a Linux smartphone was in the works, but still had quite a ways yet to go . . .
The year of the linux phone is almost upon us…
I have been “using” a Pinephone for quite awhile now. However, since it runs Linux, it doesn’t actually work. I have invested many hours and even basic shit like calling does not work 100% of the time, let alone more “complicated” things like a working email client. It just isn’t worth it. I will stick with my Windows 10 Mobile phones for now.
