Why I Have A Linux Phone.
A Linux Computer In One's Pocket.
I don't want a phone at all. I've always wanted a portable, self contained, Linux box, that I could walk around with on my person, just in case.
That's why I bought a Pine Phone. The fact, that it comes with it's own display, power supply, and runs #Linux, is all the selling point that I need. That it has the potential to make phone calls, is just a bonus. I still love hacking the Pine Phone and I'm satisfied with the development.
Initially the phone came with the Manjaro Plasma Community Edition, at the time I wasn't fluent with Manjaro or Arch Linux so I started using Mobian, since I was a long time Debian user at the time. Now I'm running Arch Linux now and I really like the OS and the Arch Linux ARM team.
