I know I do; because I refuse to use windows.
Badum tss. (Yes, I use arch btw.)
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
You're missing out on some quality electronics
Appreciate the sentiment, but my preference for linux is born from the desire to move away from proprietary American software more than anything else; It's a subject I feel strongly about (To the point where I'm using a Linux phone over android/iOS, self hosted matrix server instead of WhatsApp etc).
Um that's cool but I was making a joke about robbing rich people
Haha Oops.
Which Linux phone?
Same question here!
Volla Quintus running Ubuntu touch; it's european made too.
Nice, thank you for the answer.
My phone is my last big American tech item I haven’t ditched. I’d be interested to know what phone you went with and what distro and de you run?
Using a volla Quintus with Ubuntu touch. It does all I need a phone to do, but I wouldn't say it's at the stage ready for mass adoption yet. Usually I'll need to create web apps for certain services (there are no native fediverse clients for example, so I'm using a web app of blorp), so it's manageable if you're a power user (and being able to ssh to your phones terminal is pretty cool if you're into Linux in general).
Waydroid comes as standard, and UT uses containers to run most desktop apps; known as libertine containers. For UT native apps (which there isn't a great deal of, hence the reliance on web apps/containers) you can browse here (Webber is your best friend on UT; as it simplifies creation of web apps).
You don't have the same freedom with environments on UT as you do desktop OS'... I couldn't even tell you what the env is called off the top of my head, but if you're asking about my pc; I'm currently running Garuda with KDE (though considering a switch to something like bazzite, as I'm not home enough to keep up to date with the rolling distros, and just want something that runs games when I am back). My laptop is currently running mint with KDE, which I switch to cinnamon when trying to convert someone from windows.
I’ve been using Linux on my PCs for about 10 years but the phone you recommend is a top tip thankyou, it looks like it will do the trick nicely.
