Not being able to run Signal on my Android tablet feels really inconvenient. That would be no. 1 on my wish list

Kitty, but most commands are probably happening in eshell. Feels more easily scriptable to me

I use Fedora Silverblue personally (feels rock-solid and borderline impossible to mess up), but you might want to get more familiar with the basics before getting into immutable distros. I’d echo what everyone else is saying and do Linux Mint first

Just mpv for me. Simplest and most versatile option

The Pixel Tablet can run GrapheneOS, which is the best stock Android alternative IMO

Great project, just donated

Minus the sandboxing and security improvements, apparently

I could handle an overpriced phone if the device were viable for day-to-day use. Unfortunately the battery life is so compromised that even if we had a totally flawless mobile OS running on it, it still wouldn’t work out as a phone.

In this case it’s better to think of it as a development platform.

Having both that and Waydroid on a phone would be pretty great. You might want to check out Darling for running Mac apps on Linux in the meantime, since its goals are similar to Wine’s (but it’s still early in development in comparison)

Always, because you get to assign keyboard shortcuts to each one (and then use each one for a dedicated purpose). Much faster workflow than alt-tabbing your way through an arbitary list of programs.

It’s pretty decent for me with ten virtual desktops (and each one mapped in a sequence from Alt+1 through Alt+0). Text editor always in the first desktop, browser in the second, music in the third, etc. What’s nice is that you can (almost) replicate the same workflow if someone forces you to use macOS or Windows at work

Your best bet right now IMO would be flashing PostmarketOS onto a used OnePlus 6, which is cheap, has good specs and none of the battery issues plaguing the Pinephone Pro. That said, it’s not 100% ready to be a phone yet- for now its best use case is as a mini-tablet / PDA kind of thing. Really feels like carrying a pocket laptop around, which is pretty fun as a starting point.

Linux phones for me. Really impressed by how these things have come in the last 3-4 years, and now we’re getting close to having at least one that’s usable day-to-day (with plenty of rough edges, obviously). As soon as that happens I hope more people will decide to take the plunge and really start pushing things forward.

Only syncthing, for me.

Battery life is pretty decent, but I haven’t had a 100% success rate with some of the basics like calls and texts. I’ve enjoyed using it as a kind of mini-tablet though, with no SIM (will keep trying again periodically).

Wild that this product is getting so much attention (and so many new users), despite being so uninteresting.

Running pmOS on a oneplus 6 right now- feels painfully close to being daily-drivable, and the performance / battery life makes it much more usable than an OG pinephone.

Calls and SMS aren’t fully there yet, and the camera doesn’t work. Mobile data is fine, while Waydroid fills in most missing apps, aside from music and video streaming (since audio still stutters on Android apps). So for now I’m also stuck carrying an old Android around for day-to-day basics, and offloading as much as I can onto the OP6.
