  • I daily drive GNU/Linux on my Phone (PinePhone Pro), I would say it usable, but Android is way more practical.

    Also not a lot of devices can run GNU/Linux and have fully functional HW due to missing drivers. And only 3 phones of them can run mainline kernel.

    Waydroid works fine, I use it for banking apps, but it’s a bit slow on my specific device.

    It is incorrect to say that there was/is communism in the country. There are only countries that trying/tried building communism.

    In every other country ruled by communists saying they are building communism, banning every other political party then the communist one, killing people in the name of communism

    Having a single party is the one of several approaches. But the only one that survived. I think the idea is that you don’t need other parties if you building communism (like why do you need any liberal party driven by rich people?). And It’s not like regular people can’t join this party (unlike now when only rich people can be in politics).

    proof of that it’s not really possible.

    I’m not saying that it’s possible, but I wouldn’t say that it’s impossible given a certain level of technology.

    Then what is it? A teapot in the sky?

    In such countries there was/is socialism. They only tried/trying to build communism. This is a common misconception.

    If it’s a viable plan which can be realized, then how to achieve it, without killing people and creating a dictatorship? Is it possible?

    I don’t know. But I doubt that the state will give up its powers without any fight.

    See @linuxphones. I have PP and PPP. I run ArchLinux. PP is slow, but the battery lasts a bit better then PPP. PPP is more powerful, but CPU is too hungry and the phone heats a lot. If you need long battery life or you type a lot, then buy with the Pine keyboard. It’s chunky and have some quality issues, but I would say it worth it. Software currently immature. I would recommend buying only if you are a very experienced user.

    All things you mentioned are hardware issues

    Oh, I’m so sorry, I wanted to write “software”. Edited. For example, charging when the phone is dead will be fixed soon with proper bootloader, megi already submitted patches to u-boot. It will also reduce power consumption in suspend.

    I am well aware, but the PPP included some expensive “premium” features like licensed gorrilla glas and so on, which do nothing for the developer experience

    It’s great when developers daily drive what they write since it’s a community project and there is no quality control. I personally was happy when PPP was announced and bought it because I couldn’t daily drive PP, the hardware is too outdated for me. I honestly would prefer even RK3566, its more powerful and less hungry. But users can still can buy PP.

    Compared to the original PinePhone the developer uptake of the PPP has been really slow

    PP is around since 2020. And it was in a similar state. Also initial GNU/Linux support were different. Especially camera.

    And I also made a mistake in my first comment. I wanted to write that all issues are software issues. I’m so sorry.
