Fun thing about linux phones is that they can all look different without vendor lock in

(Yes i aplogize for the scuffed picture put pressing the screenshot button closes the menu)

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I like how there's a screenshot notification, too! Haha

What phone is this, by the way? And how's your experience been?

[–] TheMightyCat@ani.social 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah I tried taking a screenshot first but as you can see the screenshot doesn't include the panel.

This is a PinePhonePro, the experience is surprisingly usable except for one major thing, the battery life is terrible.

Wether that is specific to the PPP, PostmarketOS or if my phone is defective but after like an hour of use the battery is already drained and even in standby the battery won't last more then 6 hours or so.

There are some minor things here and there but that is the main reason i can't use it as a daily driver.

but after like an hour of use the battery is already drained and even in standby the battery won’t last more then 6 hours or so.

Oh that's brutal... Damn sucks to hear that. I'd love to have a functioning Linux phone.

Shit, coming from a S22 Base i wouldn't even notice.

I want graphine on my phone so badly but I can't because it's carrier locked :(

I wish I was cool enough to run a Linux phone

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

You probably are! The hardest part might be getting a compatible phone, and sacrificing things that are only available on Android and iOS, specially apps that have no equivalent web version.

Holy shit, you can have i3 is this? On Linux phones? So cool. How usable is it, I might try build postmarketOS for my old phone to try it.

Oh I'm jealous. I'm currently knee-deep in debugging hardware so that linux can start on my phone

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Damn... Good luck

[–] Tehhund@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

When I first opened this thread the image didn't show, so I thought this was a "Linux phones don't exist" joke.

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

They fortunately do :)
