Not great, not terrible. The android support is hit and miss and the official store is mostly full of junk. Their SDK is rudimentary and there is close to no documentation. After they signed a deal with the russian state I gave up on them. I am on Plasma now which has an overall better experience.

Do you use Plasma on a phone or tablet? If phone, can you say which hardware platform and how "well" it works as an actual phone, making calls, texting, etc?

  The basics of making phone calls, texting etc .. all work well on most of the devices - official/community supported. Older one plus devices, Motorola devices. The guy who ports to some Motorola phones simply doesn't give up and keeps maintaining his ports up to date. Here's the status of various devices: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris

    Are you saying that Plasma Mobile runs on any device that is supported by libhybris? I was asking about Plasma Mobile ( https://plasma-mobile.org/get/ https://plasma-mobile.org/get/ ) that the parent mentioned switching to and I wasn't aware that libhybris is a requirement.

      If you want a plasma mobile device, your best option is to find devices that are supported by PostmarketOS. That is a distro (kind of like Ubuntu etc ...), which under the hood can use libhybris to talk to Android drivers etc.. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices There maintainers create configurations for those specific devices to make them work well with postmarket OS: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/blob/master/device/community/device-oneplus-enchilada/deviceinfo?ref_type=heads https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/blob/master/devic...

  On a OnePlus 6 with mobian. GPS is spotty and the camera quality is not as good as on android but it's acceptable.

The deal with Russia is finished. Jolla is free of all Russian ownership now. https://www.is.fi/taloussanomat/art-2000010451277.html https://www.is.fi/taloussanomat/art-2000010451277.html
