I know that Mastodon is a smaller community than most social media, and there are still very few PinePhone users in the world, overall.
So a theoretical random distribution would make my odds very poor of finding PinePhone community here.
But y'all are here, and y'all have been awesome. Thank you!
@davidmaddock Cool!
For full disclosure, I should mention that I still run GrapheneOS as my daily driver phone.
My PinePhone journey is very early:
I am the current target audience for the PinePhone - a full time professional software developer.
And I am still deciding what packages I will need to hand compile and test, and hopefully contribute back to the community - to get to a dialy workflow that works for me.
There's so much great Linux software, but I suspect that very little of it has been tested on phone hardware.
But if you have questions about ny experiences with either GrapheneOS or PinePhone, feel free to ask!
I am more inclined to get a Commodore Callback 8020 than a PinePhone, because it's the only phone with simultaneously: minimalism, open-source, Signal. Taking this into account, do you have any comments or suggestions?
@gemmy @davidmaddock To give a simpler answer, I would 100% choose the Commodore Callback over the PinePhone today.
And I'm just so happy that we have multiple Linux phones to discuss, this way!
Also, do consider the replies earlier in this thread - as others have pointed out, the Android ecosystem is legitimately more secure for mobile use than Linux, today.
Personally, as a Cybersecurity professional, I wouldn't hesitate to use the Commodore Callback as a daily driver for simple communication - if the early reviews are positive.
But I also won't be doing any of my sensitive professional work on one any time soon.
