Quote:Given what Google just announced, I think that Linux phones are going to get very very popular very very soon. Does anyone here have experience moving from Android over to the pine phone? I use a lot of FOSS that Google really doesn't like and their policy changes coming in 2026 don't bode well for me. App developers on GitHub, F-droid anything not officially verified by Google or rather the developers of those apps are effectively going to be banned off of the ecosystem.

Just looking to pack a parachute.

There is much misinformation, according to this thread a standard Pinephone is priced at $800 but only worth $200; the only available OS is Postmarket, and some feel the PP is a joke.
