@rperezrosario I hope not too pedantic, but are you including phones?
...mostly driod linux kernel, some people with iphone (derived from NextSTEP project) kernel .

If you search the whole of london, there may be one exec using a windows phone.

@channelOwen @rperezrosario What about us Linux Phone weirdos? I heard there's dozens of us!

@chrastecky
I had one in the past, but i needed to update the battery and it broke.

There is vast friction on services like whatsapp. My network doesn't live in the this little slender ivory tower, even if I do,

What's the skinny on Linux phones?

I am in the market for a phone, and ready to jump out of the walled gardens of corporations, into the world of #DigitalSovereignty and #Privacy

Also, I have always wanted to say, "I have a kill switch."

Is it too much to plug in display/storage/keyboard/mouse into the phone and use it as an IDE for development?

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance! 😃

The company I got mine from exported to the EU via Spain, used the mobile version of Ubuntu, and went bust/ stopped retailing.

I like the idea of same OS on phone, and ability to do `apt update` on it.

@channelOwen @chrastecky

I am eyeing the Jolla phone with interest. Looking for a phone with a Linux distro that is entirely free, and has no proprietary code.

Maybe the world goes to Linux in your Pocket, and largely bypasses the world of mobile apps, as native Linux apps are now first class apps on your phone.

One docking station with all peripherals, and one Linux phone/tablet.

@purrperl
If you get that rolled out, could you update about if the phone OS can drive a standard 1900x1280 screen ~ I think phone video RAM might not scale to that...

@channelOwen

Wireless screen-casting has been a thing for a while now.

@purrperl . . . . I was using a feature called that, mac -> a wall screen in a meeting room in 2014
Ja, "a while"
