There are so many little things I want to buy just to put Linux on them lol. I've been eyeing the Fairphone 5 because the creators merged all the drivers for it into the Linux kernel and it(along with the Fairphone 4 and hopefully 6 in the future) is fully supported by Ubuntu Touch, being one of the few phones where it has a 100% support rating. Well, excluding GPS and VoLTE(although they're issues on all supported phones), but GPS just requires you to restart whatever app you're using and then it works and VoLTE has a patch incoming to fix it.

It'd be so fun to daily drive a Linux phone, since all I do on my phone is call and text and maybe browse this place and Bsky, the last two can be covered by Waydroid, which is built into UBTouch.

They even are on the Fediverse, so you can follow them (maybe not with Lemmy): @bagelcollie@woof.tech

surface linux is such a good fucking project, i bought a surface (eta) ~~go~~ go1 for 80 bucks after xmas 2024. it's such a cute little machine and arch linux just fliiiies on it.

I do gotta admit too, this'ere was the first time I'd heard of a Surface Linux. Is it basically just like a scaled-up Linux phone, or are there some quirks to it?

[–] jahtnamas@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 hours ago

it's just a different kernel optimized for surface devices, you can run anything on it

Surface pro 5 here

Please for gods sake, if you change the battery (which you should), just buy a new screen on eBay. If you don't know exactly what youre doing, you won't be getting the display and its 12 year old glue off without breaking it.

Linux hardware requirements: electricity (optional)

I've been going down the Linux/FOSS rabbit hole for a year at this point and hot dayumn does it just keep getting better. I seriously wonder how/why self-hosted forms of social media and apps haven't become the norm.

[–] Xavarox@pawb.social 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Probably because it requires people to actually read the documentation, to install and make a bit of effort in getting something private. I guess people are just too scared to leave their "comfort zone" bubble

[–] FatherPeanut@pawb.social 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

This is probably it, but it's just so unfortunate that there's a constant loop that can be solved by just not entrusting a single centralized company to it:

> Find a good service > Good service turns sour > Find a new good service > Good service turns sour

Like man, I'm just now getting some people to selfhosted Stoat + Matrix, but I just know once some investor-backed competitor arises, some of 'em won't even give Stoat a chance for development to catch up.

[–] Jasperthewolf@pawb.social 1 points 11 hours ago

Yup. Basically the pros of centralized platforms our way the cons for most people

[–] Jasperthewolf@pawb.social 1 points 11 hours ago

Because the budget to promote it isn’t there, nor is the ease of use. Decentralization is still confusing to most people
