Samtime tries out a Fairphone 6 running Ubuntu Touch and it seemed pretty fine. Noted issues were the second camera not working, GPS/Map app being a bit weird, and imo, the screen showing all the apps you have open is terrible. But with the reg app store and waydroid, I think it could be almost managable to use.

My mom is a battery life fiend though, so that part she won’t let go of. What’s your thoughts?

    They need funding. Some people, countries and unions have an increased interest in tech independence.

    No idea who this guy is, but that was a hilarious video. Heaps of little jabs to highlight some of the very real weirdness of it all, but a decent enough demo to show that it all does intact work.

      All of his videos are like that.

      The one that sticks with me is Apple Glarse, his renaming of their Glass UI design.

    Kinda unrelated but I do have a PinePhone a mate gave me a while back; no matter what OS you use on it it’s sooo slow. Weirdly, the Android port actually seemed the most usable…

    Now, I realise that the PinePhone isn’t exactly a phone you’re meant to daily drive, but even then the performance is terrrible.
