If you use #Phosh (or another WM, like Sway, see below) without a session manager/greeter (like gdm, phrog,... - you are save on Mobian) that unlocks your keyring after login, be careful when using adding apps to your autostart (e.g., with https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/io.github.flattool.ignition/) that need an unlocked keyring to function (e.g., Fractal or Flare).

I managed to shoot myself in the foot with this twice (months ago and yesterday), starting to believe this was a weird hardware issue on my 256GB #oneplus6. I could not login into Phosh (it would be stuck on "Checking ..."), ssh login was also impossible - but nothing login related in journalctl (that I could access thanks to Jumpdrive and chroot).

(And now I'll look into setting up Phrog with #postmarketOS with systemd, because I want those notifications when my significant other tries to reach me but keep forgetting to start apps manually.)

Up and running on #Linux - I had used #OpenSUSE once as a kid when my dad brought home this weird computer I now understand was a server. Now at work we use #Windows because of Quickbooks but we self-host our email and website on our own hardware running #Ubuntu - I considered Debian because of that but went with #Fedora

Now I've transferred roughly 8,000 photos from my #OnePlus6 to the laptop so I can catalog and organize them all efficiently. Then finally pick and purchase a new phone. Either iPhone 15, OnePlus 11 (eBay), OnePlus 13, Pixel, or Fairphone are the contenders.

@simplex I think that statistics for even Linux desktop users are not too reliable as they generally dislike/distrust #telemetry and tracking, so Linux phone user count could be difficult.

If follower count here on the fediverse is anything to go by, the largest #LinuxPhone-related accounts @pine64, @purism, @postmarketOS appear to have around 13-10k followers. If app download count can give as a hint, the Gnome Calls app (originally made by Purism) was downloaded over 50k times from Flathub flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Cal

As for devices, phones sold with Linux preinstalled include the #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro, #Flx1 and #JollaC2.

Some older Android devices repurposed to install Linux include #OnePlus6, #Pixel3a and #Fairphone5.

Gnome 48 also brings so many improvements to Gnome Mobile.
Scrolling is just as smooth as it's on Android.
OSK and Touch text selection are better now.
And the cameras have started working on #Oneplus6
Overall, it's getting to where it is starting to feel like a real alternative 🤩️.

My dream of crawling away from the clutches of Big-Tech gets closer.
