In my GNU/Linux phone, all drivers are FLOSS and all pieces of firmware are backed into the replaceable peripherals (modem M.2 card and WiFi M.2 card).

- fsflover 2mo agoYes, the battery life is worse. I have a spare battery with me. > And would you say you have access to all the hardware features supported by Android? No. GNU/Linux phones require compromises. Fighting for your rights does as well.

- palata 2mo agoI feel like supporting Android alternatives is also fighting for my rights. Isn't it? And again, I'm really impressed by all the work done by the Linux on Mobile projects. I'm just saying it's an uphill battle, and it's nowhere close to any AOSP-based system.
- fsflover 2mo agoYes, we are in full agreement here.
