You know, I think this whole situation could've been boiled down to just make an instance and defederate, instead we got the FediKaren of the year with their silly obscured list and petty shoddy ahh ddos script.
Sailfish is decent, but yes, tied to the company. Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish suffer from the same problem, limited app repositories, excluding waydroid, I mean linux software, but Ubuntu Touch at least has Libertine Containers with PPA support....
PostmartketOS, Mobian, PocketBlue all use mainline kernels, so that might limit your options, but have access to packaged and Flathub! (pmOS is still better for device comparability)
There are more options, niche as they may seem.... Like I was not aware of OpenSUSE mobile, NixOS for phones, were actually a thing. I had heard of Arch mobile, thanks to Arch ARM, but again, not a lot of documentation that I've seen
Also I'd check check out !linuxphones@lemmy.ca
I apologize if this is ignorant of me, but I guess a follow up question could be, if your patches would be in pmOS Edge soon (here's hoping they're properly in for v26.12), or if they need to install it manually.
I know that for some of your work, you've mentioned they could be easy to install.
This is a problem that will likely happen in every network that isn't exposed.
I already bought one from Murena, but that was a couple of days before this post. -- That said. I'm sure this will make things even more accessible for those who just wanna jump into linux but are afraid of the whole installation process (If you already have one, try the UBPorts insaller) -- I cannot thank you enough for the work you've done, and congrats on the title upgrade!! It's more than earned. -- Technically, that'd also make the Fairphone 6 having two official Linux Kernel Maintainers...right?
Before android auto, people used to have a phone holder, usually with a charger. Navigation and voice commands were still a thing.
It does have a microsd slot
I do suggest making a thread/post about this. Not trying to silence here, but I do believe that,
- A: Waydroid and Bluetooth Passthrough in and of itself, is something that people do want, mostly for gadgets. (I'm hoping ports from Gadgetbridge to Amazfish become a thing soon)
- B: Linux Health apps are few, but they do look decent. I'm sure they'd also appreciate feedback and maybe a dev or two and/or donations; some of them are here; https://flathub.org/en/apps/search?q=Health
Holy Smokes..... All during the Mercury Retrograde no less....
This is all nothing short of genuinely amazing!! First it was GPS, then NFC, then Audio (with Microphone) and now Calls?
Please do correct me but, by the PMOS Graph, that'd just leave the Camera and the IMU left??

All jokes aside, my fp4 suddenly started dying on me and ended up ordering a fp6, so I'll gladly run some tests! If you have any particular place you'd like us to send feedback or bug reports, please do let me know!
EDIT: Also the lack of Emergency Calls (or at least that's what it says on the imsd repo) is a bit unfortunate, but, iirc, Emergency Calls work on a different band or system, regardless of SIM. So in a way, it's also not too surprising, at least for me.
