It's not too good. If you're using it a lot, don't expect to last a full day. If you don't do much and have it sleep in the meantime, it'll be okay.
Yes, I like the whole idea that gave birth to it and the great communities that are building software for it. But having said that, the hardware is fairly weak compared to what most are used to from a smartphone. It also proves quite hard to reliably make use of the modem for basic telephony features. It works.. most of the time ...
Oh wow! Already three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy! You're right, we should start a community
I'm not much of a distro-hopper. I think I've been on just four distros on my daily-driving desktop & laptop since about 1999:
- RedHat (around 1999, starting with 6.0)
- Mandrake (around 2001?)
- Ubuntu (around 2006)
- Arch Linux (around 2012 - today), and no intention to hop. In fact, I recently bought a new PC and installed Arch again. On the previous machine, I installed it once and it rolled nicely its entire lifetime.
My personal server has been running Ubuntu LTS for ages, I might have run debian a long time ago, but I'm not sure anymore. Nowadays I run a container setup, and those are running on Alpine Linux.
Let's not downvote the poor guy just because we lost him to Apple. The comment is on topic and people are allowed to make different choices/mistakes 😉
The more kooikerhondjes the better! :)
Btw, the link in the sidebar is not working, you'll need to add https:// in front
A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo
I can definitely see where you're coming from and I have similar experiences. I got fairly fed up with the fact that the modem often doesn't come up again after suspend on the pinephone. And if you disable sleep like I often do, you often find a dead battery. Despite all the great work of so many people, I'd have hoped for some more stability in the ecosystem by now.
I also took up a spare Android phone unfortunately, but I'm really fighting with its interface, I want my sxmo !

I've been using only sxmo, I may be a bit biased there though because I'm a developer in that project :)
