good feedback! i think #furiphone has support for #android apps (#waydroid iirc?) and back in the day so did #jolla / #sailfish - i think you can get those on a #sony these days

also i've run android-x86 in vm and its alright but idk what those apps are gonna try. supposedly only finance apps are allowed by google to check for a rooted phone but ... who knows https://peabee.substack.com/p/everyone-knows-what-apps-you-use

@s31bz @OpenComputeDesign

what about #furiphone #pinephone or #purism #librem

also wondering if one shouldn't take to the pawnshops with a printout from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ - at least being able to flash a non-shit (and optionally degoogled) os would be a decent baseline

There is a caveat, though:

"…it's based on #Debian testing, but it doesn't use the Debian #kernel. It runs on top of the Krypton build of kernel 4.19, and uses #Halium to call Android drivers…"

I.e. it is not a "first class #Linux" phone like #Pinephone (which I run with kernel 6.12) or #Librem5. Still better than Android, I guess

@justine By the way, i got the #FuriPhone FLX1 from #Furilabs and i strongly recommend it if you want a daily driver Linux phone! It's been amazing so far! And the team and support are amazing too!
