Linux Phones

NLNet really needs to start funding Flare, the GTK Signal client. If there was a native, fully featured client, I'd drop flaship price on a Linux phone yesterday!

I have a work phone I can fall back to in the worst case scenario, and I have been consciously avoiding phone use a lot lately.

I am ready to ride out some bugs in a Linux phone.

Edit to add: Or, given the state of the US government and its potential close ties to various tech oligarchs, maybe I should just keep this old iphone as long as possible and just not put anything sensitive on it. I mean we're talking about violent people who think "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about" is unassailable logic.

wish my phone wasn't carrier locked so I could switch to graphine

The only thing I need on a phone is too use nfc

I support this so much, however due to work, I can not get away from Android/iOS. Many companies want you to install Microsoft Authenticator with this generally wanting to prompt you for MFA authorisation when accessing company resources. On top of this they often want you running Company Portal on your device too if you're accessing resources such as emails or IM

"can"

The only thing I ask for is VoLTE actually working.

I wish that there were better kernels around. A monopoly (Windows on a desktop, Linux on a phone - well, at least iOS still has BSD) is not a good thing on any platform.
