    The only thing holding me back is hardware support, it seems like there aren’t that many reasonably powerful devices that work with other OSes. I have a pinephone but it’s just way too slow. I wish Sailfish OS was fully open source because I love both it and Xperias so that would be perfect, but I don’t really trust it since it has a closed source UI

      I’m kind of in the same boat, but I simply can’t afford a new phone at least for another year or so. When I save up enough I’ll probably get a Fairphone, or something that works with Ubuntu Touch.

        If the fairphone had a headphone jack I would get one, but that being left out is an instant dealbreaker

          Dear god, I assumed it did. I think I would have noticed before I bought one, but yeah. No thanks… now my list of phones to buy is smaller. :(

        I forgot about that, it does look nice. Maybe once it’s been out for a while and I can see what people think of it I’ll think about getting one

          @Auli Depends on how you look at things.

          I consider it an upgrade with a few acceptable tradeoffs. The extra 2GB RAM can make huge difference epecially with bloated Electron apps, Waydroid, etc running in the background.

    If the Liberux NEXX actually launches, that’ll be my next phone (or maybe the Furi FLX1s edit: FLX1s doesn’t have headphone jack, so the NEXX is the only phone in development that I would buy in the future). Otherwise its GrapheneOS until there’s a linux phone with the right combination of new hardware and decent OS that I’m looking for.
