Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.

    The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed. Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.

    If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.
