    My intention in the future is to use a de-Googled Android phone and a Linux phone, and have all the tech features I like and none of the privacy invasion. I find Android (even de-Googled, rooted Android) is quite a limiting experience. In the good old days, when Android was still in nappies, I was using Nokia N900 and N9 Linux phones, and loved those phones.

    I have a pine phone and the experience is like android 2.3 on my HTC Evo from 2010. Development is slow but coming along and you can see potential. Battery life is abysmal, but who cares when you can just swap it when it dies? Calls and sms work some of the time.
    We need better specs to get this off the ground but really need more people to get involved. Software optimization will make the biggest difference. Security hardening will become very important as the devices gain in popularity.

    You aren't really supposed to mount root writable and use apt that way. By design Ubuntu Touch has containers for that with Xorg support, though Xorg is quite laggy, so you can't use desktop browser properly with it.
    I loved using Ubuntu Touch on one of my phones, though I wish they would have provided a wayland or xorg implementation with acceleration to use desktop apps properly. Without that, it feels more like android to me, though I love GUI and lack of bloat! You can run a linux terminal apps or even gui inside a contained on your android too.

    Gps shouldnt require a sim, just a clear view of the sky. The reason other phones get your location indoors is because of wifi scanning, which Linux phones won't have. Most degoogled phones disable wifi scanning as well. It's basically google/apple crowd sourcing ssid's and locations of those ssid's (or Mac addresses) from other people phones. It tends to be a concern for privacy oriented people.

      Yes there's something named WayDroid (formerly Halium-Anbox). It fully supports Micro-G and works really great at least on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Haven't run into an app that doesn't work yet.

    if they smoothed out waydroid and made it easier to install on ubuntu touch phones, ubuntu touch would be much handier. it's still suitable for a daily driver, if you don't do much. linux phones need to take off and become more popular. sailfish x is the best imo, but they need to make it available world wide..

    If they can make a decent Linux phone with a decent camera that can easily transfer files like for libreoffice or videos I record. I’d drop this iPhone in a second having to upload things to google drive or one drive then download them on my laptop is a pain in the ass, dam iPhone just adding steps to everything.

      You can use WayDroid (formerly anbox-halium) for your banking apps. It's essentially a native Lineage OS experience but on UBPorts.
