    I haven’t used either of those directly but have started looking into linux on a tablet (Plasma mobile mainly) and things are definitely rough… nowhere near the polish of Android or iOS (understandably) and the app store options are not great / hacky

    I’m just getting into things here, but my guess is that if you want to try a linux phone, if you’re OK living in a world that’s closer to the first days of smartphones than the current fairly-advanced smartphone, you might only be slightly or mildly frustrated. If you’re looking for a modern smartphone experience, you’re probably going to have a bad time.

    That said, the lack of viable options for smartphones is terrible and it’s somewhere I’d like to invest some time contributing to open-source projects to improve
