When I have read anything Android phone related on Lemmy, I often see comments talking about how they switch to Linux phone or tell people to swap Android with Linux ASAP.

What’s the general experience like using Linux as your phone and is it any good? I remember watching video couple years about it and hearing about it and the lack of apps (at least that is made for mobile in mind) and wonder if that has changed or is it just good enough.

    They all have issues. The OS portion is just ramping up again brought on by the Google coup on Android.

    Honestly, you’d be better off getting something that runs a better Android OS for now versus running a Linux derivative.

    The main issues:

    • Camera sensor support and control
    • Modem (phone) stability
    • Sensor support
    • Biometric sensor support
    • Specialized hardware support
