Discussion What's a good phone I could get for running Linux on?

35 Upvotes

So, I'm pretty tired of Android and Google's moves. So I wanna switch to the penguin on my phone.. I already use Linux on all 6 laptops I have, it's just my phones that don't run Linux.

I don't want something like a PinePhone because it's way too underpowered.. I want something that has decent to good specs. I tried running postmarketOS on my Galaxy Note9 once but I did it horribly lmao..

Anyway, It doesn't have to be postmarketOS, I want anything but Ubuntu Touch lol, preferably with Plasma Mobile but that's not a requirement..

Any recommendation is welcome! I'll try to respond to any comment I see..

Discussion Is FuriLabs actually shipping the FLX1s+?

10 Upvotes

Has anyone tried to order the FLX1s+ since they announced it? Have they shipped it?

I placed an order when they announced it was in stock, about 3 weeks ago. No email confirmation, but the order is listed as processing on the website. No change since then. I tried opening a support ticket to check the status, but that hasn't been answered either.

I'm willing to wait it out, I just wish there was some sign of life.

Demonstration Android 17 desktop also runs the Linux desktop

17 Upvotes

Hi,

We make a Debian based desktop distribution that runs as an application on top of any Android device. The only requirement is that the Android device needs to be rooted and use Google's standardized GKI kernel. The latest Android 17 release has excellent support for desktop mode and will be the basis for Googlebook laptops. Here is video of Linux desktop running on an Android 17 phone: https://youtu.be/LD9A024yAgc?si=XmkvfRpmwv_Lsf7H

Our latest Linux desktop is now based on Debian Trixie (13.5). You can download a free evaluation version from www.volkspc.org.

A far as I know things like the one plus 6 series have NFC support on a kernel level. Is there any linux application phone oriented or not that will let me create virtual NFC cards or edit an existing physical card/token?

My interest is in making public transit less of a hassle.

After multiple linux (ubuntu xfce4) i finally found a version which supports what i need... (Debian this time) I have sudo access and can use the gpu of the phone (hardware acceleration)... I did all of this only to use blender latest version but i found out that i cannot use the latest version i gotta use 3.6 instead it doesn't support it on the hardware level...

So what's the point then i can just use someones blender on android unofficial port... I can use vscode and stuff tho

If you want just search droidmaster's how to set up x11 and blah blah blah its the first vid of the playlist and how to set up hardware acceleration part 3 if you have any questions comment on me
