Grapheneos on Pixel 9 fold. Runs like a charm. You have a normal phone by default for all your normal daily stuff, but it’s ready for all the advanced things you might want anytime.

-How to setup your private spaces and profiles will be the biggest pain in mental considerations. This is one of the biggest differences allowed by Graphene. Also, not all apps like to be on a secondary profile (I’m looking at you, intune). My setup so far is a main google-less profile with f-droid, obtanium and all my foss apps…an insular ‘work’ profile, where I have all my banking and more or less secure apps, a ‘hidden profile’ (is that the name?), where I have a bit less trustworthy apps, food delivery, uber, gmaps etc (the difference between the work and the hidden profile, is work can be paused manually, but will keep working if you want it to in the background while the screen is off…while the hidden profile closes a few minutes after turning the screen off). Then secondary profiles for absolute garbage untrustworthy apps that I know try to gather as much info from you as possible. -Rather than obtanium, I prefer f-droid when possible. Better general oversight of the apps. I- think thunderbird can be set to check more frequently. I haven’t noticed any missing emails that get downloaded as I open. But maybe I don’t check my email so frequently. -Does Molly work on its own, without having to use some third-party notification setup such as ntfy?

I prefer f-droid builds whenever possible. Some github apks will still include google libraries, or not quite mention where they connect. F-droid goes the extra step of checking all of these for you, and give you warnings of any unintended connectivity for example. They’re quite strict for a reason. And I appreciate it.

Thanks for the journalctl command, I think I was looking for hints like this. I’ll be reviewing my journalctl next time I get a crash. Regarding Steam, since it’s using NVME both for the OS and the gaming disk, it downloads at rather crazy speeds without slowing down the OS (as long as I’m not trying additionally something else also crazy of course…but I can continue browsing and watching videos just fine).

Also, this is most likely completely unrelated but do note that Neon is basically abandoned. You should very much consider switching to a maintained distribution, whether that’s another Ubuntu spin or Fedora or something else entirely.

Thanks! Yeah I might reconsider a whole system wipe. I’ve tried shortly Fedora before, and Nobara for a few years, but I think I’d prefer something Ubuntu-based with KDE. Something that it’s not Kubuntu, that is. I don’t want snap crap.

Nothing much enterprise…It’s running “Windows App”, just a glorified RDP with extra authentication settings for SSO etc. Hence why I gave it only 4GB. It’s not just GUI not being responsive, everything is. It’s a full freeze, and I can’t get to the text consoles either. Most I can aspire to, I think, is to gather data from right before the freeze happens…and check it after I reset the computer.

Haven’t tried remote SSH yet. But switching to text console doesn’t work, unresponsive for that, too.

Try best as you’re setting the phone new. If anything fails you only need to do a factory reset. Also you’ll likely need to perform a do-over after every system update.

Thanks. Somehow it didn’t work for me :(

Thanks! I’ll try this.

Could you show me what option did you use for grub to rotate? Thanks!

So did you get it sorted in the your case?

Thanks! I did check some of their posts for other issues but didn’t find much regarding this one on several searches. I’ll check linux-hardware as well.

Sadly it doesn’t seem to have a feature I need, which is gadgetbridge data sharing, so I can get the weather in my wearable. Breezy has it.

It seems update-grub does update initd in the process. But…yeah, it seems to continue to ignore my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line. I also tried the gentoo way of your wiki, running grub-mkconfig instead of just update-grub. But after updating and going for a reboot, it still didn’t do much. I’m not exactly sure what am I doing wrong, and I’m not sure how can I troubleshoot whether grub is accepting my line, failing or ignoring it. Also I’m not sure how to check whether ‘the kernel has been compiled with rotation support’. Some structural support going on that last sentence…

Thanks! This is the first time i see this option. I’m not sure how this might work, as grub starts way before invoking X11, the way I understand it. But the panel is indeed labeled DSI-1. That said, I created the file but seems not to work. Is the line

Option "rotate" "right"

Just like that? It didn’t seem to do anything after running update-grub and rebooting.

I…don’t think so. I believe it is soldered, but I haven’t opened it yet. But they just released a new version (for a higher price though), this version finally comes with 16GB of RAM (not the odd 12GB), 512GB SSD and a N150.

Sigh… Thanks. I’m afraid that device was already outdated on release. These days you’ll take the full 3GB of RAM it has just by opening the browser. I don’t think that’s usable anymore by today’s requirements.

That’s… Quite a long list of deal breakers for me, I’m afraid. I really want a Linux phone, and i wouldn’t mind paying extra for the effort. But i need one that works with all its hardware. Calls, data, gps, camera, sensors and yes, also NFC. My country’s digital ID app uses it to verify your physical ID in order to allow you to login for some paperwork.

Is there any device where everything works? Whenever i try to check Linux phones, there’s always trouble like “calls don’t work”, “camera doesn’t work”, “gps won’t fix” and so on… Is there a device with full working support?

I never said it was a bad thing. It’s… Quirky. And I appreciate it. I love how useful it is, and how reliant I’ve become on it. I started donating to this project recently.
