LINux on MOBile

@fun @postmarketOS I am daily using #postmarketOS on a OnePlus 6 phone, writing this post with it, in fact. So many functions work perfectly or near perfectly: wifi, gps, bluetooth, listening/watching audio/video, web browsing,sms/mms...
Camera functioning has come a long way in recent months. In short, I use it for nearly everything I would use a phone for, except for...phone calling..., which is still flaky, but I feel confident that the amazing and generous geniuses working on this project will overcome these challenges.
I am not very technical, but I am able to help out in small ways by testing functions and apps and reporting issues, and contributing to the wiki and the chats with whatever knowledge I have gained.
It's so great that this alternative to the Android/Apple duopoly is coming to fruition!

So, let's get back to daily driving Mainline Linux on mobile devices!
I've been running @postmarketOS on an ancient Samsung tablet from 2012. Gotta say, feels surreal that it runs linux 6.x when all the LineageOS unofficial builds for it run on linux 3.x ... quite impressive when you think about it 馃槉 (Hardware support is also pretty good, main issue is camera, and stylus which I managed to get working)
I use it for light web browsing and as a kind of smaller laptop when I'm too lazy to carry around my current x86_64 laptop ^^
Sure, pmOS is not yet fully ready, but you can always still find some usecases here and there and excuses to use it daily 馃槉
