I will wait until there is a phone where I can just open a terminal and type apt install whatever I want.
- lupyuen 6y agoHaha thanks for checking it out :-)
- vinay427 6y agoI'm not as familiar with UBPorts/Ubuntu Touch, but you can do this with Debian on the PinePhone, or use other package managers like Pacman with Arch/Manjaro. I think you're conflating the phone with UBPorts, which is just the preloaded OS on one edition of the phone. There's nothing Ubuntu-specific about the PinePhone.
- solarkraft 6y agoMost of the other distributions allow just that, this is just Ubuntu being special again.
- josteink 6y ago> I will wait until there is a phone where I can just open a terminal and type apt install whatever I want. This phone can boot any Linux distro you like from SD-card or usb. That’s pretty unique and you really don’t get much more open than that.
- kop316 6y agoMobian on the pinephone does exactly that. There is nothing stopping someone from a) flashing the eMMC directly to a new distro or b) flashing it to an SD card to try it out.
