Which Your Favourite Linux Mobile Distro? (self.linuxphones)

submitted 7 months ago by Sunshine to c/linuxphones

2 comments fedilink

I'm currently using a Pixel 3A XL with Ubuntu Touch.

Postmarket OS: I really like it the most since it is built from the ground up to be linux. Though there is not pre-built image yet for my model.

Ubuntu Touch: It has a stable reputation and has 2561 mau over a month according to the amount of downloads from openstore. Though the gps is globally broken and the VOLTE does not work yet.

Sailfish: The UI is the most visually appealing and I like the idea of buying the operating system license to support the development. Though I wish the UI was open source and it was available for more than just Sony Xperia Phones.

Mobian: I haven't tried it yet though I heard someone got it running on the pixel 3 recently.

Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.
