What would be the right Pinephone OS for me? (mainly from Ubuntu background dev)
#5
I actually ran into Megous on HN before haha, crazy, he was doing some work with video capturing on the Pinephone.

I was reading around and it seems like Mobian/Arch are "the best" so far... what I am interested in as well is the Sxmo because it sounds like the closest thing to i3. My "fantasy" is something like the Windows Phone UI (simple squares) but with i3. I don't know I wish I could get some numbers I was going to look in Sxmo threads to see what kind of base ram they're getting. From what I saw with KDE Plasma it was hovering at 1GB and then 1GB in cache so about 1GB free of RAM.

I wasn't aware of the convergence term/what it means, I guess that makes sense.

Yeah the dock seems to be working other than the HDMI/charging the phone. I'm hoping it does charge the phone as that would suck if it just runs until it dies even when plugged into a power source.

Anyway still excited overall, maybe one day we'll have 12GB Linux phones like the Samsung flagships.
