MaxHigh end linux phone now crowfunding! #linuxphone #liberux #linux #europe #spain #opensource #floss https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/liberux-nexx--3/
Neil BrownJust landed on Indiegogo: crowdfunding for a £1,100 per unit new Linux phone, the Liberux NEXX.
The specs are impressive, and it is the kind of thing I'd love to support, but wow that's a lot of money.
More than I'm willing to gamble, frankly, by a significant margin, but perhaps it might appeal to you!

Awesome!
It seems as if my FuriLabs FLX1 Linux phone has shipped 🙂
MonetPhilDepuis la mise à jour d'hier, les micros fonctionnent de nouveau sur mon #OP6 sous #postmarketos edge. En plus, phosh 0.47 a déjà été porté, ce qui signifie que les alarmes devraient fonctionner, même quand l'appareil est en veille ! Fantastique, on est tout prêt d'un appareil fonctionnel. Reste à améliorer les photos, et avoir installer un meilleur clavier...
fraggleDevices like the PinePhone and Librem 5 are slowly carving out space for open mobile computing. These are not sleek consumer devices built for mass market appeal. They are platforms built by and for developers, hackers, and those who demand control over their hardware. With full root access, modular apps, and support for desktop-grade Linux distros like postmarketOS, Mobian, and Arch ARM, they challenge the locked-down nature of traditional smartphones.
While performance and battery life still lag behind mainstream phones, the focus is on freedom: running your own code, replacing parts, and escaping corporate ecosystems. For privacy advocates and tinkerers alike, Linux phones represent a small but significant shift in how we think about mobile tech.

Felix DenbrattAll right, with my goal being to fully replace my iPhone with this #jolla #linuxphone I knew I would have to install some Android apps as well. So far it’s been a quite smooth journey, albeit quite some steps, since ”full” Android support is not the default.
Now I’ve successfully managed to install all my main communication apps: Protonmail & Signal; As well as local commute e-tickets: ”Skånetrafiken”; And music: Spotify
All good and work like a charm! Now to the real test: national e-id (BankId), mobile payments (Swish) and e-banking. So far everything seem to be working, but I’m not able to fully test without also setting up a new e-ID on the phone.
… and that requires NFC - something that #jolla does not have. I think I’ve found a workaround, but will have to try it out a bit later.
Overall, very promising!
