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

You can try one of the phones that are supported by Ubuntu Touch. I don't know how good it runs but there are several cheap (= old) phones on the list.

This is 100% the way.

Pine hides their hobby-grade hardware behind in-development software. I owned both a PBP and PPP and much as I'd like to say otherwise, really can't say anything to recommend either.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
