I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I’m a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

    @JoeBidet @urheber I’m one of the “tried Pinephone” people. Not nearly adept enough to do all the CLI work you did. I can edit config files if someone tells me what to type in 😆.

    I use a laptop for the fun stuff. A phone to me is for texts and calls. I gave up on the Pinephone because of problems with that. Big one: not waking from sleep to ring. I get about 2 calls a month, but they’re the sort I can’t miss. After about the 3rd miss, I had to give up. Yes, I’d try again after updates 😖

        @JoeBidet I settled on mobian. I think I tried pmOS (this was back in '21? '20??) and a couple of thers I don’t remember. I do remember ssh-ing for something else, never edited crontab though. Sounds interesting! I’ll have a look at that. Still have the phone. Be great if I could make it useful 😆
