I’ve made the same decision re: android and apple.
I really wish there was a decent Linux phone I could buy ... anyone know if there are any good contenders or future prospects?
- fosco 9y agoI am hoping postmarketOS will be a good alternative. Still being developed and not ready for prime time yet.
- mpol 9y agoDid you check out Jolla and Sailfish OS? You can now buy a Sony EXperia X and flash it to Sailfish OS. I am quite happy with Sailfish. Still using it on my Jolla 1 as a daily driver after 3 years.
- ethagnawl 9y agoIt hasn't been released yet, but Purism recently smashed their fundraising goal for the Librem 5. From the description linked to below: > Librem 5, the phone that focuses on security by design and privacy protection by default. Running Free/Libre and Open Source software and a GNU+Linux Operating System designed to create an open development utopia, rather than the walled gardens from all other phone providers. https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/

- zeppelin101 9y agoThis is truly impressive. I'll be following this project.
- wyldfire 9y agoAre you asking about "linux" meaning a non-Android linux phone? If you include Android -- I have had a satisfactory experience with both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG Nexus 5x. The 5x did bootloop recently but Nexus repaired it (and upgraded to 32GB) beyond the end of their warranty.
