I have og and Pro.
One thing I wonder about is can the popular apps be made legally in an open source way, do you have to get the companies to make a Linux app for PP/PPP. This is with regard to get mass adoption.
- pabs3 4y agoYou can probably just use Flatpak or web apps for a lot of things.
- cowtools 4y agoYou can run android apps in a waydroid container, albeit it will still be closed-source.
- ge96 4y agoyeah but that's back to android, nice to have the option
- southerntofu 4y agoThat's why interoperability regulations is important. Who cares if an online service supports a specific platforms if it has open APIs? If the specs are there and the service can't by law prevent 3rd-party clients, it'll be easy to make a native client.
- kaba0 4y agoIs the Pro worth it? I like the idea and I own the og, but it is painfully slow. At this point I just check on the progress each month and put it back in the drawer :/
- ge96 4y agoIt is way faster. Has 6 cores, can run VS Code for example. But officially the cameras don't work yet. Although megous has it recording video. I do the same thing, put the batteries in, update them (run both Mobian/Phosh and Manjaro/KDE Plasma Mobile). Then turn them back off. I have a TMobile number for it but the pro also has this sleep/wake issue. Where it will not wake up after a while. It's more apparent with the plasma Mobile than Phosh. I think it's worth it with regard to saving money, supposedly the price will bump up. But as far a s a daily driver/main phone I still use an Android. The external display detect/reliability is buggy still too as in, plug it in, nope, plug it in, nope... There it's working. That kind of thing.
