Anyone have a pine phone and running Linux (Ubuntu) as your EDC?

Thinking of buying a cheap phone with new number to see how it goes. Would like to talk and text though.

Any excitement on these new developments and with what is going on with frame works also?

Edit: What phone would you recommend to do it with? Pine phone is med range pricing.

I currently have a GP6a

    See @linuxphones. I have PP and PPP. I run ArchLinux. PP is slow, but the battery lasts a bit better then PPP. PPP is more powerful, but CPU is too hungry and the phone heats a lot. If you need long battery life or you type a lot, then buy with the Pine keyboard. It’s chunky and have some quality issues, but I would say it worth it. Software currently immature. I would recommend buying only if you are a very experienced user.

      I have a pp too, would recommend aside from the fact it constantly turns on randomly.
