figure out i'd reach out to #Mastodon, the best #opensource #Linux community i've found
i'm about to buy a #Murena #FairPhone 6 with their e/OS
i was leaning towards #Ubuntu Touch, but having trouble finding a phone that comes w/ it that meets my wants
anyone advise against it or recommend a different linux phone before i pull the trigger?

@WorldTravelerAll7 Have you considered Fairphone 5? Way more OS-es are available for it including Ubuntu Touch, Post Market OS and SailfishOS.
My experiences: https://mementomori.social/@david_bardos/115912432037394955
Since posting that, I learned that theoretically SailfishOS can run Waydroid too solving the missing app compatibility layer in a less convenient, but quite fair way.
Also Ubuntu Touch can be freed from having a read-only filesystem and be less restricted, but it can interfere with the over-the-air updates, so there is a trade-off.
PostmarketOS FP6 support is less complete than the same for FP5. The latter is now the best supported device by pmOS.
@david_bardos oh wow. i have a bonafide expert here. thanks💙
so yes, would happily consider the 5, but didn't see it on Murena's site
as my choices narrowed, i leaned towards Ubuntu Touch, but the trade-offs you mentioned, i don't even understand😅
i only found european vendors who sold the Fairphone, Volla, or any phone, with Ubuntu
if you know of one, i'd be thankful to know it💙
