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.


Be aware that not all screens work with Linux. Not sure about batteries.
