      That’s is pretty much my exact experience, kirigami and all.

    What i don’t understand, is why there is no underlying foundation for being a working phone first with the standard features. It feels like that work should be the priority and should have been accomplished long ago. I love ubports but am now rubbing sxmo on the pinephone 3gb. Fun to mess around with, way bigger screen than my old iPhone, but too slow to do anything (no lichess!) and not ready to make or accept even a text. If a solid stack to be a phone with texting and video camera every got developed, the Linux phone could take off, I’d sign up today. But as it stands, we’re still waiting for even the basics to become usable.

      It’s pretty much volunteers reinventing all code to run a phone. That’s a lot of hurdles. But I totally get it, especially the camera is what I think is hilariously bad

          It’s not for everyone. They already announced a new pinephone, so we’ll see what it imporves. Most improvement comes from software anyways.

          I don’t have one, I don’t have the time to tinker with it, but I think the project is cool!

    Phones are a pretty important area to push for software freedom. Thanks for the article.
