I mainly use my phone for messaging (ie. Signal, Whatsapp etc), web browsing/social media (forums, lemmy, bluesky etc), and video viewing (jellyfin, alt youtube frontends, and netflix)

Are all these things possible on a linux phone like a Pinephone?

I mean...I'm running a stock android 15 ROM...and I just had some Push weirdness that meant my auntie and bestie back home had been messaging/calling me for almost 2 months and were legit thinking maybe I'd died.
