Interested in hearing everyone’s experience using alternative phone OS’s. Have you ever used Lineage or Graphene, Pursim, pinephone? Was it good enough to replace your android/iphone?

I used an experimental version of Ubuntu touch on a pine phone roughly three years ago. It was slow due to the limited hardware of what was essentially a development device, but besides the occasional dropped call it worked well (if a bit unstable). It has been a few years however, so I imagine the situation he improved sense then. It was good enough to replace my Android phone, that is, a device used for text, call, email, podcasts, and locally downloaded video.
You are the first person I know to have used Ubuntu Touch lol
I tried Ubuntu Touch and really liked the interface, but it used a really old version of Ubuntu that I really didn’t want to deal with so now I use Phosh on Arch.
They just recently re-based it to a newer version of Ubuntu under the hood.
Yeah, I saw that, but I’d prefer a rolling release. I might try it though and see how much I like it. Maybe I can get the DE running on Arch with some work.
That would be interesting. I’ve personally always preferred more standard release structures.
