Sr. Estegosaurio 🦕<p>Portals are a keystone of linux apps.

Tinker ☀️<p>With all the BS of Apple doing their AI spying (amongst other issues), it's that time of year where I once again look for a "third party" phone to migrate to as a daily driver.</p><p>I've followed lots of Linux phones (running Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, postmarketOS and others), feature phones running KaiOS, and others.</p><p>Heck I was even building my own phone on an RPi years ago (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210725154717/https://www.tinker.sh/kde-plamo-rpi/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2021072515</span><span class="invisible">4717/https://www.tinker.sh/kde-plamo-rpi/</span></a> ) and have been following the PinePhone project for a very long time.</p><p>My current research is pointing towards a Fairphone 4 running e/OS (degooglefied android). I live in the US, so this is as close to the Fairphone as I can get currently: <a href="https://murena.com/america/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-4/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">murena.com/america/shop/smartp</span><span class="invisible">hones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-4/</span></a> (edit: Annnnd, it's no longer available.)</p><p>Really I just need a phone that runs Signal and can run some sort of GPS app. Everything else I can do via a web browser.</p><p>I hate Apple/iOS phones.
