I’ve owned a Pinephone Pro since launch, and have tried to daily drive it on and off for years with limited success. It’s sitting in a drawer at the moment because echo cancellation doesn’t work on phone calls regularly.
Anyways, I have a Pixel 3a sitting around that needs a battery replacement, but I wanted to ask here if anyone else is running Linux on it? And if so, how is the experience? I’ve been using Linux for decades, so I have no problem working around quirks, but I just want a Linux phone I can text and make phone calls on. I really don’t have too many advanced app needs other than podcasts and web browsing.
Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
I was planning on just using one of those cellphone repair places. Yeah, the process of doing it myself seems out of the question.
I replaced the screen on mine a couple of years ago. It took an evening, there were a couple of fiddly parts, but it went fine. I imagine replacing the battery would be simpler. I have it still, maybe I’ll install Nura on it
Be aware that not all screens work with Linux. Not sure about batteries.
