So, let's get back to daily driving Mainline Linux on mobile devices!

I've been running @postmarketOS on an ancient Samsung tablet from 2012. Gotta say, feels surreal that it runs linux 6.x when all the LineageOS unofficial builds for it run on linux 3.x ... quite impressive when you think about it :) (Hardware support is also pretty good, main issue is camera, and stylus which I managed to get working)
I use it for light web browsing and as a kind of smaller laptop when I'm too lazy to carry around my current x86_64 laptop ^^

Sure, pmOS is not yet fully ready, but you can always still find some usecases here and there and excuses to use it daily :)

@fun @postmarketOS I am daily using #postmarketOS on a OnePlus 6 phone, writing this post with it, in fact. So many functions work perfectly or near perfectly: wifi, gps, bluetooth, listening/watching audio/video, web browsing,sms/mms...
Camera functioning has come a long way in recent months. In short, I use it for nearly everything I would use a phone for, except for...phone calling..., which is still flaky, but I feel confident that the amazing and generous geniuses working on this project will overcome these challenges.

I am not very technical, but I am able to help out in small ways by testing functions and apps and reporting issues, and contributing to the wiki and the chats with whatever knowledge I have gained.

It's so great that this alternative to the Android/Apple duopoly is coming to fruition!

@unfinishedsymphony @fun @postmarketOS TBF phone calling doesn't work on my LineageOS device either thanks to VoLTE. 🤬 I just use SIP via Linphone, which is a rather bad app but at least it works. Is a decent SIP phone available on pmOS?

@dalias @unfinishedsymphony @fun @postmarketOS GNOME Calls has SIP support, the Flathub version should work for this use case: https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.Calls
Install Calls on Linux | Flathub

Make phone and SIP calls

@darkdragon @dalias @unfinishedsymphony @postmarketOS gnome-calls is packaged in postmarketOS so no need to use the flathub version?

@fun @unfinishedsymphony @dalias @postmarketOS Indeed, this should work, too.
