    e/OS/ on a Fairphone 3

    Been rocking this setup for a while but I have been mulling over going back to stock Android. e/OS/'s implantation of Aurora app store is buggy as shit. Also it would be nice to have working NFC as well as a few other things too.

    Still though, Google can eat shit so I might just stick it out on e/OS

    The phone itself is fantastic though. Disappointed that the Fairphone 4 doesnt have AUX though. That or a working FM radio. Might sound silly but having an FM radio in your phone is crucial for emergency situations/ natural disasters etc. Would really really love to see Fairphone 5 implement these but I’m not holding my breath.

      Same phone, same OS. For me NFC works fine, I routinely use it for yubikeys.I also use Aurora store, in addition to f-droid and the app lounge.

    iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 17 developer beta.

    Honestly, if NixOS ever comes to a phone in any real way, I’ll probably eventually switch.

    iOS is solid as hell compared to Android, IMO and I have a love- hate relationship with swift; wish I could use Haskell for a native iPhone app.

    Galaxy Fold 4, de-Googled as much as I can feasibly. Ideally I’d love to run GrapheneOS on here, but that’s not gonna happen cause they only support Pixels. I could switch to a Pixel Fold, but I also like the multitasking in Samsung ROMs. Maybe one day, if Google adds stuff like floating windows, I might make the switch.

    iPhone 13 mini I was on android since highschool and I thought iOS would be too restrictive but I wound up liking it and don’t see myself going back

    Fairphone3 with Ubuntu Touch. I tried the Pinephones, but they’re not ready yet(!) as a daily driver. I have high hopes, though.

      Have you used Ubuntu touch ? I would love some feedback as I want to move away from android. Kinda became boring now. Need a new OS like ubuntu or any Linux distro

        I have used Ubuntu Touch for almost ten years now ;) I personally enjoy it a lot, the navigation feels a lot more natural than on android and Ubuntu just generally does what I want it to and not more, which is also a plus.

        But, I have to mention I have relatively low standards when it comes to a phone os. I don’t use any of the popular apps for example. If you need e.g. WhatsApp or similar, you won’t find that there. I have tried using waydroid for a couple of things, but it is draining the battery fast.

    I’m 2 days into trying GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a and it’s been a great experience all around. I reckon I found my main driver for the next couple of years.

    Samsung S10+, been on android my whole life. I think I will switch to iOS next. It looks very polished over there compared to apps on android being an afterthought

    Definitely won’t get one for a few years yet, so hopefully it’ll have usb c

      Used android on nearly all the mainline phones from T-Mobile G1 through Nexus and to Pixel 3 or 4. Switched to iOS a few years back and have really been pleased. I don’t want to say anything philosophically, but practically speaking it has been very nice to use; never even notice an OS between me and what I’m trying to do.
