I have a Note9 I just did a battery & screen replacement on, a Key2 that had not been used until a year ago (so still has great battery life), and a newish Librem5. Most other phones, e.g. those mid-range Samsung’s, or phones without headphone jacks feel like sidegrades rather than upgrades.

They’re all 4G though; both Android model variants are unrootable, and of course behind on their security updates. Next phone would need to be 5G, and ideally allow longer security updates, or allow Mobian + Waydroid install. Maybe one of the Asus ones. Honestly wish Fairphone had kept it or brings it back; they’re missing out on a big segment of customers that would be a good match.

To afford an out of carrier phone, just dipped down to a cheaper plan that still meets my needs.

I exclusively use phones with headphone jacks. Using GNU/Linux mobile more to get longer software security updates where needed/possible. All GNU/Linux native phones have headphone jacks.

I am using a Librem 5

Same, also looking for private tracker invites, ideally where you’re rewarded for both seed ratio and time kept alive.

I just built a 24 TB NAS (expandable to 432 TB over time) with arrr services. I also tend to take existing content and add complete metadata for higher quality files (mostly FLAC audio files).

Bing Copilot is also clearly Zionist

I have all those things working well on a Librem 5

The list of devices on Replicant OS is old and short. Proprietary blobs are a big issue for Android.

PineTime

King’s Quest original series was and still is great

They finished shipping their backlog of Librem 5 crowdfunds and preorders last year…

OP probably doesn’t know you need to wait 1h in line just to board it out of Union evening rush hour. And that’s assuming it doesn’t get stuck in snow, traffic, crash, etc. Toronto needs subways, and better optimized roads, not more streetcars.

Open Street Map. If something isn’t accurate, you just update it like Wikipedia. I made some updates to my city, and now it works flawlessly

A GUI option in the Settings app to limit charging to 80%, extending the life of the device.

I walk through some neighbourhoods with many high-risk apartments, and there is so much interference from all the Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, and other wireless devices using 2.4 GHz, that even the best wireless headphones skip & stutter playback.

It also takes so much longer to switch wireless headphones to a different device, especially when they all compete to connect to the headphones.

Let me make the decision when to use wireless, don’t make it for me. A DAC USB-C dongle is dumb.

Both GNOME & KDE already have builds you can do this with. E.g. Mobian, which uses a lot of the work Purism has done with PureOS, is working to make even default Debian work. You can install Android apps with Waydroid, and install it on Android devices like Pixel, OnePlus, in addition to Linux native devices.
