Just popping in to mention the UI got a pretty big update recently. You might want to take another look, I think its a lot better now.

Battery life has been excellent on the oneplus6. As others have said, there are some major issues, such as GPS and the camera not working at all. Calls were giving me issues a few months ago, but nowadays with "edge" (the latest release) they're quite reliable.

With all the bugs and problems, I could use PostmarketOS every day with minimal issues, I used it exclusively for just over a week and it was fine. I think in ~2-3 years I'll be using Linux on mobile as my main device.

They've now got a whole 3 devs!

+1 for PG. My favorite mmo by far.

Linux operating system that is compatible with a few of android phones.

PostmarketOS on oneplus6 is nice. 👍

Well I guess my personal definition of backup is wrong.

Sounds like pedantry to me.

Probably the shift6, oneplus6 (or 6t), or librem 5.

Its not even software issues (I mean the software is still very early, but improving), the pinephone hardware is ridiculously underpowered while simultaneously drawing too much power.

The Pro fixes the underpowered issue, but gives you a couple hours of screen-on time. At first I was hopeful software updates would fix the battery life, but the same operating system (postmarketos) gives me a full day of use on my other phone (oneplus6). That leads me to believe it's largely a hardware issue.

I hope I'm wrong. \o/

His code contributions have always been high quality, and they're audited by his peers. Its very unlikely malicious code would come from him, and even more unlikely it would make it through on to your phone.

While he's certainly unhinged, it's clear that he cares deeply for the project. I can't see him doing anything intentionally malicious.

I really wish him the best, and I'm glad he stepped down. Much better for optics with him out of the way.
