No, but regular calls (via 3G networks) work-ish; the only problem is that you can't switch the audio output, i.e. hands-free calls are not a thing.
To also answer your question directly: yes, this was indeed one of two initial motivations for Nix!
You mean NixOS? Well, it's definitely not as polished as pmOS, but most things do work. My gf is using it as an LTE-enabled music player, and I'm using it to ssh into my servers when I'm out and about.
It required some hackery to get GPS and the modem to work, but then it's mostly similar to pmOS. I need to find some time to sit down, clean up my config and publish it somewhere, but life's main quest line is preventing any side projects rn.
If you can get it for not too much money, I'd definitely spring for it. Even if you find it doesn't suit your daily needs (it probably doesn't just yet), it will at least be a fun toy for playing with mobile linux.

OnePlus 6/6T + PostmarketOS (I run NixOS on mine but I'm weird). Seriously.
Both cars I've bought and sold in Georgia (the country in the Caucasus) were done with cash USD. This is just how the car market works there. From my experience the situation is similar in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt (maybe not as common), etc...
It is called US Dollar for a reason.
It is also called a "world reserve currency" for a reason; though hopefully not for much longer
Thousands of OpenStreetMap editors hospitalized with a simultaneous stroke
I mean, that's just false. In a lot of countries with weak or unstable local currencies, big purchases like vehicles and real estate (sometimes even rent) are often done in USD to make sure the money keeps (most of) its value until you want to spend it again. I've seen it both in Africa and Asia. I've had to handle USD bills a lot even though I've never even stepped foot in the Americas.
It was in a couple of videos, the one I can remember right now is https://youtu.be/lIFE7h3m40U?t=294 (it's especially funny because you could do this entire project on Linux in a few lines of udev and a trivial actkbd config)
The other video was on some other channel, I can't find it right now. I don't remember the exact quote but the gist was "Linux is not a serious or usable OS", he just dismissed it outright. I'm generally ok with people shitting on Linux, but I remember that was particularly annoying and dismissive of both developers and users, especially so since he's a techy person.
He might have changed his stance since, but I've not been keeping up so I don't know 🤷
Idunno, I unsubscribed many years ago after he kept on shitting on FOSS devs and shilling Windows despite the obvious enshittification. But the interface here looks like youtube, so my guess it's on there
To add to everything already said here, YouTube sometimes uses AI-based filters and/or compression, sometimes without creator's consent.
Yeah sure, this movie with 1.3 rating and 5 (out of 100) metascore, with only 50k ratings, is the #1 movie this week. The algorithm is really transparent and trustworthy, clearly there's no manipulation going on.

This is my daily driver at the moment - X201s modded with a 51nb motherboard with i7-10710u (a.k.a X2100). A lot of geo nerd cred to whomever can guess the location by the mountains :)

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly :)
This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.
The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Since today is my first cake day, I've decided it's time to post instead of commenting. This is a picture I took last month on my phone through binoculars. Taken from Gomismta, the mountains you see are the Main Caucasian Ridge.

To be honest ATM I just copped out and I'm running Plasma Mobile (with some tweaks). I really wanna get used to sxmo but it just doesn't click with me.
As for a tutorial, I think this is somewhat similar to what I've done: https://github.com/mwlaboratories/phoneputer
Except I also flashed an older version of OxygenOS with edl (https://codeberg.org/magdesign/sxmop6/wiki/EDL) to get GPS to work.
