"A few years ago, running Linux on a phone meant dealing with half-broken distros and hoping your touchscreen driver didn't crash. Pocketblue, combined with the mainline kernel support, makes it feel like an actual operating system rather than a tech demo."

#LinuxPhone #PocketBlue

I replaced Android with a full Linux desktop on my old phone, and it's shockingly usable

Pocketblue, based on Fedora Atomic, is great on the OnePlus 6.

Tooting my first message from my mobile #Fedora #pocketblue on a oneplus 6t.
Interesting concept. Still a bit laggy, but quite usable.

hmm, first time seing this issue.
But this is just on my instance, on your instance (fosstodon.org) it shows up fine. Mastodon web interface probably just can't embed the liliputing.com article properly or something.

So my second hand @OnePlus 6 arrived today (a day after buying it!). Notable for two things:
1. As a clean phone it feels a lot quicker than the other Android handset I have which is technically newer
2. It will record up to a minute pf 480fps slow motion video which I will be able to make use of (My other phone will do 240fps for ages, but only one second at 960 - no 480 option)
No idea when I'll get round to installing @fedora #PocketBlue on it though
