Is anyone using PinePhone with openSUSE? What’s your experience been? I’m thinking about getting one next month but I have some questions about it.
I use a Pinephone. I have installed 15.6 on it with no success. It boots to a black screen. Several other O.S.'es work, but I ended up using PostmarketOS. Be aware that most “apps” do not execute. I do not recommend buying one unless you love Linux and like to experiment.
Wow, that’s too bad. I’ve had it with Android and I’m not going to shell out for an iPhone. If there’s a Linux-driven device, that would be perfect. It doesn’t sound like it’s ready for production.
Are you aware of this bare metal linux project: mind you, still in very early stages!
That’s impressive. Do you have any idea what the schedule is for release?
You need to follow the Mastodon or Email newsletter (as described in the FAQ of the project) to stay up to date with newest infomations.
I’ve no personal experience with it, but FuriLabs is another one to have a look at. The Register did a review of it.
Nice project, but a thing to consider is that the Fury labs phone, just as so much other “linux” phones, uses halium, so can’t be considered android-free.

That might be OK, if it doesn’t have Google’s footprint. There are some apps I would miss.
