Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y'all are using and what your experience has been.

What sucks is in the USA you need VOLTE for the phone to work, and I’ve not found a phone that clearly supports it

Looks like BM818 in Librem5 supports VoLTE, but might have issues with some networks.

PinePhone's (and one of Mudita's phone's) EG25 modem technically supports VoLTE, but was very flaky for me (in a mid-low signal area)

FuriLabs (FLX1) seems to have VoLTE working.

Ubuntu Touch explicitly states that it does not support VoLTE.

Ubuntu Touch doesn't officially support it yet, but it is working reliably for several phones now.
