The phones actually seem really neat, they’re running real Linux, with Waydroid for sandboxed android apps. But it’s got… quirks. It’s very GNOMEy and there’s still a lot of battery issues and it can be a bit awkward to use.
Also, since apps are sandboxed, something like sending pictures over Signal can be tedious without extra steps.
But it’s an exciting step forward and the devs are really involved with the community!
Alternatively I imagine there’s something like PostMarket on a Fairphone. Even with their issues, I appreciate what they’re trying to do.
