- fsflover 6y agoSo the phone Purism advertises in the article should suit you well. It's a desktop GNU/Linux, so you can install everything as you wish.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoExcept that very often the app is not available for that platform.

- UncleMeat 6y agoOkay. People have been developing for Windows and excluding Linux for decades. Demanding that people develop for your very niche desired use case is just going to be unreasonable a huge amount of the time.
- kwhitefoot 6y ago> your very niche desired use case I don't think that my bank (SBanken) would agree that its app (which is very good by the way) is serving a niche use case but they nonetheless only provide it for unrooted Android and IPhone.
- kgwxd 6y agoI've been watching it very closely for years. I've been waiting for it to become a little more stable as a product. It might already be there for me, but I just bought a Jelly 2 and I'm liking the smallness for now. I use F-Droid to install most apps I use anyway, which isn't many.
