The intent is making things easier as time passes. > Mobile Linux does not add hoops to jump through. And those custom ROMs are improving fast, too. Using PostmarketOS or similar (and don't get me wrong, I find PostmarketOS very cool) is still orders of magnitudes harder than using a custom ROM like /e/OS or CalyxOS. > Parent said "add more hoops to jump through".īut parent was talking about a comparison with running a Linux mobile distro on a PinePhone. The first time I'll have to I'll count to ten and see what to do. I currently don't need it for my job and I don't have to open issues to open source projects. (*) I'm also not logging in into GitHub since they forced me on 2FA, because of the extra pass. I'm afraid there won't be alternatives for that in a few years too, and I don't buy stuff from Apple or one of the old SEs would be a solution until they will also grow big and fat. If they want me to go around with 200 grams in my pocket they pay me. Granted, 200 grams is becoming worryingly normal for the new flagships but it's still a brick and those flagships are bricks too. I'm looking at the 11.1 mm and the 215 grams. In theory I could leave an Android phone in a drawer at home for those apps, use WhatsApp web on the Pine, maybe Telegram desktop, maybe Gnome maps or Google Maps web, but I'm not paying for two devices.Īnd the PinePhone Pro is a brick: 160.8mm x 76.6mm x 11.1mm and 215 grams. I really don't have an alternative for them. The last ones of all the process are banking apps, github (only because they decided I need 2FA (*)) and a digital identity one for my country, basically another 2FA. I'm installing apps on a factory reset Samsung A40 from 2019.
