  • As much as I like the idea behind Pine64, make sure you understand what you’re doing - their devices usually need some time before they’re useful, they might underperform, etc.
    On the other hand, they’re usually priced well for what they offer, and I think the ARM model of new PineTab might look better than their usual new offerings. Make sure to find out, how polished it is before you buy.

    It’s the moderation staff’s responsibility. Sorry for nitpicking, I understand in this case it’s likely the same people.

    I just get triggered when I hear that an open source software developer should have any responsibilities at all (maybe apart from some extreme examples), and I wouldn’t like this idea to stick in anyone’s head.





  • I own OP6, on Ubuntu Touch it has an annoying bug with shutdown (see my other reply here).
    On mobile Linux, though, it’s quite close: camera is missing, GPS is a bit finicky about SIM card you use, I did not seriously test battery life yet. I plan to give it a proper try to daily drive it soon.



  • It won’t be much of help, but I have a few devices:

    • Xperia X which so far works well, except that it feels like the phone’s internals are a bit too slow for today’s standards, so even if I will use it for the time being, if I were yo,u I would pick something more powerful.
    • OnePlus 6 which would be very cool (especially that it’s one of the best phones for regular ‘mobile Linux’ so far), if not for shutdown being bugged, which results in time getting reset on every boot. But it’s fast enough, and I hope the bug will eventually get a fix.
    • last time I tried PPP was not good enough, but it’s been ~2 months ago and support was quite fresh. Might need to check again.



  • Oh, and as for the touch UIs, not much luck if GNOME doesn’t work well enough. KDE can be made to run well with touch input, but for me it needed some work to configure it. But I liked it afterwards.

    There are Mobile Linux UIs (which might run better on tight resources) but I am afraid they might not be good for multitasking on a tablet screen.
