I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about having a typical desktop Linux distribution on the phone (eg: Ubuntu, Arch) instead of an OS that is made for a phone? What is wrong with something like LineageOS or other alternatives?
- emilsedgh 3y agoHe means GNU/Linux.
- petabytes 3y agoProbably means one of the GTK based distros running on a phone, like on the Purism phones
- jeffbee 3y agoHe means he wants to adjust the ringer volume with alsamixer in an xterm.
- sanitycheck 3y agoThe names didn't come to mind while I was bashing out the previous post, but kind of - Mobian, PureOS, Ubuntu Touch, Postmarket, etc. (Though I have zero interest in using a command line or editing config files on a touch screen, so hopefully a little more polished than desktop Linux.) Lineage is a great version of Android, but it tracks AOSP so it's always (I think?) going to be a fork of whatever Google is doing and probably won't diverge massively from wherever mainstream Android goes.
