  • The state of Linux phones in 2025

  • How is a disposable token locked behind passwords and/or biometrics, remotely erasable, unique between each vendor a transaction takes place in inferior to…..a string of unchanging digits in a physical card?

    You didn’t “call out misinformation.” You laughed at a differing opinion. That’s not an argument. That’s a noise.

    Seriously, the Linux community has tons of helpful, super smart people, but mixed in with them are these obnoxious snobs like you that just embarrass the rest of us.

  • Exactly. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto took off because car manufacturers have always sucked with tech and this gave them a super cheap way to make a quantum leap forward.

  • Many cars built in features are so terrible they border on useless. Some doesn’t even have things like GPS at all. My EV uses CarPlay for that and has no navigation built in at all, even though it has a GPS radio it uses for onstar services.

  • Yes, you can even run android apps on Linux mobile using waydroid or something similar. So even if you need your stopgap android apps while waiting for Linux equivalents, waydroid has your back.

    As for me, I plan on using PWAs as much as possible.

  • Fairphone, FLX1, and jolla phones are supposed to be acceptable. They aren’t flagships but they are fine.

  • I havent taken my wallet with me in years. I prefer tap to pay as it is more secure than a physical card which can get lost or stolen.

  • Which is why having it call out to something I control rather than a tech bros server is okay to me.

  • Oh I’m already having those arguments about installing apps. It’s one of the many reasons I’m leaving T-Mobile soon actually. If I have to call in I will but I don’t trust apps at this point and they are frankly unnecessary in almost every case.

  • By that logic, I dont need a phone on me at all times and should just go back to a landline, pay cash for everything, and damn everything convenient.

    Some of us use these things and we want to switch to a system free from powerful tech bros. People like you tell us we are a problem for wanting features. That’s a ridiculous thing.

    I’m not going to screw with a cell phone while driving. Using the large screen I can quickly glance at, tap what I need or use a voice command on and get my eyes back on the road makes far more sense.

  • Yea, modern vehicles tie a lot of things into the head unit and they just aren’t possible by going third party. But using the CarPlay/AA feature could be a way to bring similar choice to a system that is otherwise locked-in

  • 1 - you arent. You dont need to. They have it other ways. Tap to pay is done on device with a revokable token. If the device is stolen, the token can’t be easily accessed and can be remotely wiped at any time, unlike a stolen card which you have to call in to disable and even that doesn’t always go over well. 2 - Bluetooth doesn’t give me maps or a UI to access my music, podcasts, etc. 3 - feature parity wins people over. You aren’t going to bring people in to the ecosystem by selling on having less. You can sell on mandating less, but opening with “here are the things a Linux phones CANT do” will never get this off the ground.

  • I see vo-LTE generally doesn’t work at all either.

  • Hold the line, EU. The US cant hold out much longer. Once our recession hits, we will be too busy to bully you anymore.

  • What’s funny is google’s bullshit will likely result in a Linux phone that doesn’t suck before we ever see mainstream Linux desktop adoption.
