Anyone have a pine phone and running Linux (Ubuntu) as your EDC?

Thinking of buying a cheap phone with new number to see how it goes. Would like to talk and text though.

Any excitement on these new developments and with what is going on with frame works also?

Edit: What phone would you recommend to do it with? Pine phone is med range pricing.

I currently have a GP6a

    Honestly, why did you expect anything different?

      What do you mean? Ofc you’d expect the hardware you buy to actually work, like in all other devices.

        You’re clearly new to Pine64 😉

      Because it advertised WiFi and Bluetooth on the website and there was no mention of the lack of drivers anywhere to be found

        Pine64 is known for very shoddy software support and almost none of their devices have every bit of the hardware working on release, if any. A missing wifi driver is too be expected with them, not an exception.
