I used a pre-built image as it was my first attempt. I did try the Plasma Mobile and the Ubuntu touch versions, then stuck with phosh for now. But I might do another flash to try more things. (Always a bit reluctant to delete the progress I made before... ๐Ÿ˜…) I'll have a look at Mobian too!

@JustVik
I'm stil on a full Google Android phone as my daily driver for now. But it's another step towards reducing my reliance on "big tech".
So far the only thing that doesn't seem to work is sending SMS messages. (Recieving works fine ๐Ÿ™„) Thanks for the encouragement!

The thing now runs Linux, as well as Waydroid (no Google) so I can run Android Apps from F-droid.

I managed to set up a virtual environment in #Python and install and run #jupyterlab

All on an old phone! My BT keyboard also just works, so typing this post in Fedilab on said old phone is a breeze!
Love #linux and the #opensource community!
