Linux phones
Anyone use one of those Linux phones like pine phone or librem.
I was looking at a few months ago but settled on a deggooled phone. Are there user friendly distros for them?

For the uninitiated, what is that? I am using lineageos on oneplus 6t at the mo
Linux operating system that is compatible with a few of android phones.

Very cool! Is the battery life any good? Tempted to try it
Battery life has been excellent on the oneplus6. As others have said, there are some major issues, such as GPS and the camera not working at all. Calls were giving me issues a few months ago, but nowadays with "edge" (the latest release) they're quite reliable.
With all the bugs and problems, I could use PostmarketOS every day with minimal issues, I used it exclusively for just over a week and it was fine. I think in ~2-3 years I'll be using Linux on mobile as my main device.
Battery life is pretty decent, but I haven't had a 100% success rate with some of the basics like calls and texts. I've enjoyed using it as a kind of mini-tablet though, with no SIM (will keep trying again periodically).
Ah ok, I will keep an eye on it! Really exciting project
