    e/OS/ on a Fairphone 3

    Been rocking this setup for a while but I have been mulling over going back to stock Android. e/OS/'s implantation of Aurora app store is buggy as shit. Also it would be nice to have working NFC as well as a few other things too.

    Still though, Google can eat shit so I might just stick it out on e/OS

    The phone itself is fantastic though. Disappointed that the Fairphone 4 doesnt have AUX though. That or a working FM radio. Might sound silly but having an FM radio in your phone is crucial for emergency situations/ natural disasters etc. Would really really love to see Fairphone 5 implement these but I’m not holding my breath.

      Same phone, same OS. For me NFC works fine, I routinely use it for yubikeys.I also use Aurora store, in addition to f-droid and the app lounge.

    Galaxy Fold 4, de-Googled as much as I can feasibly. Ideally I’d love to run GrapheneOS on here, but that’s not gonna happen cause they only support Pixels. I could switch to a Pixel Fold, but I also like the multitasking in Samsung ROMs. Maybe one day, if Google adds stuff like floating windows, I might make the switch.

    Stock pixel 7. Happy with it. I hate ios. Everytime i grab my work ipad or have to use an iPhone i just cringe.

    iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 17 developer beta.

    Honestly, if NixOS ever comes to a phone in any real way, I’ll probably eventually switch.

    iOS is solid as hell compared to Android, IMO and I have a love- hate relationship with swift; wish I could use Haskell for a native iPhone app.

    iPhone 13 mini I was on android since highschool and I thought iOS would be too restrictive but I wound up liking it and don’t see myself going back

    Fairphone3 with Ubuntu Touch. I tried the Pinephones, but they’re not ready yet(!) as a daily driver. I have high hopes, though.

      Have you used Ubuntu touch ? I would love some feedback as I want to move away from android. Kinda became boring now. Need a new OS like ubuntu or any Linux distro

        I have used Ubuntu Touch for almost ten years now ;) I personally enjoy it a lot, the navigation feels a lot more natural than on android and Ubuntu just generally does what I want it to and not more, which is also a plus.

        But, I have to mention I have relatively low standards when it comes to a phone os. I don’t use any of the popular apps for example. If you need e.g. WhatsApp or similar, you won’t find that there. I have tried using waydroid for a couple of things, but it is draining the battery fast.

    Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS. I’d like Linux mobile to really take off but I can’t ever see it unless arm for desktop really grows.

    Other than that there’s not really much else that interests me. Maybe I’ll try CalyxOS one day. I’ve spent a couple of years with an iPhone before but don’t see myself going back.

        Pros are being as degoogled as possible whilst still having access to a more privacy oriented Play Services.

        Cons are having to go without Google Pay and some apps just outright not working as intended. Memory management seems to be pretty poor generally as well with apps constantly having to be reloaded.

    I’m 2 days into trying GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a and it’s been a great experience all around. I reckon I found my main driver for the next couple of years.

    Samsung S10+, been on android my whole life. I think I will switch to iOS next. It looks very polished over there compared to apps on android being an afterthought

    Definitely won’t get one for a few years yet, so hopefully it’ll have usb c

      Used android on nearly all the mainline phones from T-Mobile G1 through Nexus and to Pixel 3 or 4. Switched to iOS a few years back and have really been pleased. I don’t want to say anything philosophically, but practically speaking it has been very nice to use; never even notice an OS between me and what I’m trying to do.
