Gentoo on phone:

featuring:

  • the experience of pain - now portable
  • compiling a single package using 8 phones and distcc
  • waiting
  • recompiling kernel and then wondering how it went wrong
  • reading manuals 24/7 using a different phone

all of this and more for the admireable price of your sanity

The title isn't technically wrong :p

It definitely isn't fast, but I use it as my main phone. Of course for the majority of "heavy" uses I prefer the PBP of my main computer.

what kind of linux apps do you use on that phone?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 years ago

The same ones as on my desktop mainly (Telegram, email, Firefox, Matrix, OTP, Deja-Dup, RSS reader, Podcast, Lollipop, Mastodon...), plus some nice extra tools like SSH. A few months ago it used to crash quite often, but these days I get a crash maybe once a week.
