I can't believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he's onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭
Most people aren't comfortable with flashing unofficial ROMs onto garbage bin phones. I'm unironically glad that you have rescued a perfectly good phone but that's just not a scalable solution IMO. Buying a used phone that you know has a lineage ROM is a more viable path but you're still back to square one if the battery or port or screen give up on you.
