My phone's just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again.

Thought I'd test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc

Bonus points if anyone's managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal

Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.

iphone. They're solid and they get updates forever so there is no rush to upgrade. I don't miss Android and not getting updates 6 months after I buy the phone.

Well then you’re already unreliable and hyperbolic for giving advice as Android do in fact get updates well after 6 months. And no one can assure ‘forever’. Not even apple. I’ve had iPads complain they can’t be updated and force to go buy a new one.

Fanboi detected! 😂 Android phones vary in how many updates they will get based on manufacturer and price point of the phone. Google guarantees 4 years...that it. Others only reliably update flagship phones. I like the Android operating system, but the update situation is still largely a joke...as is the bloat in most Android phones.

Nice that you announce your arrival. I don’t see that too often.

[-] Mostly_Harmless@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I like the part where you proved my comments wrong...oh wait...

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I’m not your employee. You are not owed a ‘discussion’.

Original iPhone SE. still receiving security updates, and the perfect size for my hand. I hate the trend towards phablets.
