The OnePlus 6/6T on postmarket are pretty close to daily driver ready
They're fast, stable, and if you can live without camera, cellular and fast charging, (which yes, I realize means it's more like a tiny tablet than a phone) everything works beautifully.
EDIT: Cellular Data works, just not phone calls, so if you have a low latency/reliable 4G connection you could make VoIP work probably :)
- linmob 5y agoThis. The OnePlus 6 is a great choice. The Cosmo.. not so much. The available Debian is just broken at this point and has not been maintained for a while.
- h4waii 5y agoI really hope HN never changes, so rare to see see something so true, yet insane to the average person at the same time. This OS on a phone is "close to daily driver" and yet phone calls don't work. I mean this not as a slight, I'm a huge fan of Linux on mobile devices, using them since Maemo, Moblin, webOS, SailfishOS, Jolla, and now postmarket and Pine.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI don’t think it’s unusual to say you can have calls on iPad with google voice or FT, or to assume people actually use phones for calls anymore. I use only VOIP applications and I wouldn’t have calling if it wasn’t cheaper to have a plan with calling with unlimited data.
- edude03 5y ago> so rare to see see something so true, yet insane to the average person at the same time. People here definitely tend not to be average, myself included. However, I think for the "average" HN user, it's at the point where you could make it work if you wanted to. For the global average user, it's not "technically" far off, just practically since most apps are only for iOS and Android, so even with perfect hardware support the OP6/6T or really any mainline kernel linux device wouldn't be a good fit.
