I've been out of the loop for a couple of years on Linux phones. I'm poking around on blogs and Mastodon posts, but I figured I'd just ask:

Whats currently (as of January 2026) the most functional, stable, boring phone + OS combination?

I have a PinePhone from a few years ago and a couple Pixels to play around with.

(If you're comfortable with it and feeling generous, I would appreciate a boost for visibility)

I spend a ridiculous amount of my time on #curl security these days. Because I think that's my responsibility.

Every year a Chinese-dominated flotilla big enough to be seen from space pillages the rich marine life on Mile 201, a largely ungoverned part of the South Atlantic off Argentina

Thanks to @newbyte's efforts and @agx's reviewing, everything relevant from the "postmarketOS tweaks" app has been integrated into Phosh Mobile Settings so that we were able to sunset the legacy app in postmarketOS edge and have one less settings app in total! 🎉

As a bonus, Phosh Mobile Settings now has a generic conf-tweaks interface that can be used to add other custom settings with config files as well!

Details in the edge post:

Ik wil bij deze graag mijn aankomende expo aankondigen, je bent ook erg welkom op de openingsavond.
Ik schilder rond thema’s die me dagelijks inspireren; naast stillevens maak ik ook graag visuele werken rond dieren, menselijke verbinding of ook disconnectie/vervreemding. Een vleugje humor of surrealisme is me daarbij ook niet vreemd.

wie weet tot 29/1 🧑🏻‍🎨🎨 (locatie De Schans Hechtel)
