@TWiT @jp_bennett @RobCampbell Thanks for touching on #LinuxMobile in this episode.
> [01:25:24]: getting ridiculous out there, the whole smartphone debacle we have going on. If someone could make a full-functioning Linux smartphone, I think it's getting to the point where I would pay maybe some serious money for it. I'd be willing to pay the premium dollars just make it work, get a phone on there.
Please check out the #FLX1s from @furilabs It's the most user-friendly option for #MobileLinux currently and stuff just works out of the box, including camera, phone calls, flatpaks, Android apps, etc. The specs are decent and the price is $499 atm.

@opensourceopenmind The downside of this phone AFAIK is that you will be stuck with the old Linux kernel for the rest of the device's life.
@joe9nf Yeah, but for nontechy folk who need a good OotB experience right now, even that's a great step up the #freedomladder, especially as the #phosh UI on it looks almost the same as on mainline projects using it. So when/if they decide to step up the ladder to a mainline project like #postmarketOS, #PureOS or #Mobian, the migration will be easier compared to migrating from iOS/Android because of same UI/DE, flatpaks, waydroid, etc.
Personally, I'm using postmarketOS on a #Librem5 and almost everything important works, but I'm not sure I'd recommend to someone who is not already comfortable with #desktopLinux and a #FOSS-only ecosystem.
