Kaios Review · The Kernal

When you think of mobile Linux, most people would think of Android, followed by something like a PinePhone or Librem5. But, there is another mobile Linux distro that is often neglected. KaiOS is a fork of the old Firefox OS, and it is one of the only non-Android Linux distros that actually has commercial steam. I myself have recently switched to a KaiOS flip phone, and I am going give my honest review of this unusual operating system.

    With a Smartphone I will be tempted to browse social media & play games

    If you ever have to switch to using a smart phone again, one thing that might help is making the screen monochrome in the android developer options. Removing the colors from the screen makes our ape brains not get as excited and more focused on tasks. It also works on desktops.

    Edit for additional thoughts: One downside of using a flip phone compared to a smartphone is the lack of security based applications like encrypted messaging for example.

      Yeah, I tried that, but my brain seems more like a Fish than an Ape. It didn’t really work. While the lack of security based applications may seem like an issue, I am able to use all of my encrypted messaging services on my Laptop & Desktop, so I don’t really feel like I’m missing anything.
