nice, gonna try fedora tonight, tried ubuntu on my surface pro2 and some things work kinda janky. Oh, btw, the usb port on the surface2 is usb 3, not 2.

They are essentially a tinker device, not going to replace your phone. Outdated hardware when it came out. Software for it suck, there’s 25 different distros and none of them work out of the box. Oh well it was only $200.

I bought a PinePhone when it first came out, and unfortunately the experience was terrible. I desperately want a phone with enhanced privacy features, such as a switch for the camera and a removable battery, but sadly I don't think this is ever going to happen. Some companies have tried, buy none of the bigger companies will ever bring these features to the market.

The thing on the screen is 100% a plastic protective film. I took mine off and replaced it with a glass one from the official store way back. You kinda skipped the accessories where there is the most important thing this device has - the physical keyboard. That feature transforms this thing into a tiny portable computer with a massive battery. Good video otherwise!

Hey VOICE IS A LITTLE TINI ON THE 360p 480p 720p in general. Lower the threshhold on the mic and add more eq 4hz voice dept level 1hz then intensity! Treble levelibg.

i understand your good intentions, i get you're sad about how this came out to be only becuase you love the idea and you would like to see that spike onto new levels. but the way modern mobile industry is not taking seriously the freedom of the user when it comes to managing the ongoing processes on your device, locking lots of useful features under the scary name of "developer options" as if it were such a unuseful things for daily drives and such harsh things to understand and locking it under the stupid safety measures of tapping five times to your phone build number, only for then not being able to use any of these options because they really only break your apps, should we even mention those companies that locks bootloaders under an account creation that needs your sim specifics? and lots of other things that the industry has been taking up to suppress the experienced user to touch anything on what should be there for them to use (yes, there are exploits to unlock bootloaders etc but i dont really count them when it comes to freedom to the user) i really can't stand anymore what has been going on with mobile devices, some time i take some money up and i will definitely daily drive these pieces of trash, my disappointment is just too beyond to really care about performance, date of the hardware, quality or response times. thank you anyway for infotainment :)

i've been daily driving my pinephone pro for some time now its not perfect but its good enough

Mate, good channel, definitely keep this up.

Truth be told, when it comes to the whole user experience, I have to say that Ubuntu touch works quite well on a Pixel 3a which is the recommended device from the Ubuntu ports project. Of course, Pixel 3.a is a much, much more powerful device than a Pine Phone. But as someone already mentioned, the reason this is is because UT uses proprietary Android drivers that already ship with Pixel 3/a that utilize hardware acceleration, in the form of Halium hardware abstraction layer, which I geuss is not really the case for Pine Phone.

Since I bought one of these for $30 bucks with a touch cover keyboard; Full-size USB 3.0 port Connect USB accessories-like a mouse, a printer, a 4G USB dongle, or an Ethernet adapter. microSD card slot Use the microSD card slot (along the right edge) for extra storage or transferring files. For more info, see Surface storage options. Mini DisplayPort version 1.2 Share what's on your Surface by connecting it to an HDTV, monitor, or projector (video adapters sold separately). For more info, see Connect Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector. Charging port and 48-watt power supply Attach the power supply to the charging port when your battery is low. For more info, see How to charge Surface.

i have a 2 year old surface pro 7 i installed ubuntu on it and yes u have theres a diffrent source code u have to install to get the touchscreen to work

If you want a "daily driver phone" (you can totally daily drive a pinephone) then get a fairphone with ubuntu touch or pixel 3 and flash ubuntu touch to that (pixel 3 is the flagship phone for the project)

CIA killed it...

Why am I watching this video on my Pangolin?

I just bought these controllers 2 weeks ago, and they refuse to connect my the Xbox 360 S, without the linking usb. They also refuse to stay on under 1 minute. 😒

The pine phone was such a letdown for me. I was looking at the pinephone pro. Loved the keyboard battery case thing. Then I read more and more. Saw posts about people not being able to receive texts or calls (huge deal breaker) and when someone would ask about it or any other questions they got a "Well it is a Dev phone you have to fix it yourself. Please piss off now noob." So I said fine and got a google pixel 7 pro and put GrapheneOS on it. In the mean time I waited. I waited and waited for a "Finished" product. I just want a cool phone that has dome privacy and that fu*king keyboard battery case. I'll probably have to make something my self.

Wow old cpu and way outdated

Fantastic video! Love the presentation and camera work.

I'm a believer in Mobile linux. I would settle for a "coral" . example. type usb adapter to connect for when I wanted the extra GPU and RAM.

Even the pro is pretty difficult to justify. It's got a cpu that a lot of the cheap retro handhelds are rocking these days. Paying 400 dollars for a device with the same CPU as something you can buy for 60 is pretty harsh and they weren't very high end with any of the other parts either. It was a cool project. If like Framework decided to do a phone with the same general standards as the laptops they've produced we might see something along what the vision of the pinephone itself was based on. An every day linux phone still seems a long ways off though so the software ideals of the pinephone still seem like a distant unlikely dream.

I think that the price on these makes it impossible for normal Linux users to daily drive them. I know that the price is already at the minimum; but comparing to 2nd hand phones that can boot Linux, you can see why not many people use it atm, which sucks. But I still think it is a great thing for Linux community as a whole thb.

Я пользовался PP с Pmos SXMO в качестве ежедневного смартфона 3 года (пока он не сгорел какого-то хрена). Почему выбор пал именно на этот дистрибутив? А потому что все остальные ужасно не оптимизированы как под PP, так и ежедневное использование. И это заслуживает претензий к разработчикам софта на единственный, бл_ть, доступный линукс-смартфон. Почему андроиды получают лучшую поддержку того же UBports, чем линукс-устройство? Почему в Phosh и KDE plasma годами не фиксятся одни и те же баги и краши? Почему у моего PP сгорел процессор (очевидно) и какой криворукий "специалист" разрабатывал такую ненадёжную схематику? Вам не кажется, что за 150 баксов, такие слабое железо и ненадёжность это слишком дорогое "бета-тестирование", а? Опять же сейчас встал вопрос рентабельным ли окажется ремонт этого куска говна за 95$ (новая плата + доставка) или он опять проработает не больше 3 лет, а мне стоит накопить на тот же Fairphone и просто "отлинуксировать" его? Единственное, что мне понравилось и во что я буквально влюбился - это SXMO (хоть она и не блещет красотой, как KDE plasma)... Мобильное линукс-сообщество - это позор.

Well it arrived. And its the nicest PC I've ever owned. INCREDIBLE

The underpowered performance of phones like these are always what makes them a turn off for me even though I'm right in the market for what they want to offer

Georgie, is that you?

I recently purchased a PinePhone. I should have gotten the pro. I love Plasma on my computer, and I love Plasma mobile, but is so sluggish, its nearly unusable in my opinion. Currently running Mobian and just use Pixel 8 for TH-cam when not able to use my PC, or when laying in bed. I have AT&T, and had to update the firmware of the modem to keep it from crashing. Ubuntu Touch runs decent, but for whatever reason doesnt detect the modem. Arch with Phosh runs pretty good. Tried Manjaro, but couldn't get the MMS settings to stick for some reason. Do have a question. How is call quality for you, or anybody else? For me, it sounds like the other person is talking to me from a distance in a tunnel, and they say I sound far away from tge device. Can't get any bluetooth headset to work properly (setting sound settings to use the headset mic crashes the bluetoith), so I use a wired headset, which is fun while driving.

The Darter Pro can be spec'd with 96gb of RAM. If it had the hardware disable switch, I would buy one today. I am surprised that isn't an option on all of them.

Makes me appreciate webos even more, since that ran amazing even multitasking with less than a gig of ram back in 2009 lol

chineseium iphone clones run better than it lol

covid killed pine64 ngl 😅

is that an rgh???

Manjaro is my main OS, I'd love running a version of that on my phone to have an apple like ecosystem but open source. What a shame that this has failed.

Im sorry but comparing Samsung DEX to whatever that phone uses is a huge joke. DEX is freaking awesome.

Nop Lan? What language is this?

You can't really use latest hardware to build a device like the pinephone since from my understanding it's supposed to be fully open source, that's why they can't just build a phone with common off the shelf budget or mid range android smartphone components. And a linux phone not having an open source firmware will probably drive away the enthusiast developer/tinkerer crowd who are the only people who'd buy such a device, since why buy that device when you can achieve the same with some older pixel/oneplus/xiaomi device. As for the unlocking that oneplus device, carrier locked phones aren't a thing in my country, but aren't oneplus devices supposed to be super easy to unlock like google devices (just the standard usb debugging and fastboot command).

The cheapest Chinese phone from Temu is more usable than this one. 🙈

Been daily driving my UBPorts edition pinephone for years (not with UBports though). Ran Manjaro Phosh for awhile then jumped to Mobian when they released Bookworm. Calls, SMS, MMS, LTE, wifi, web browsing, convergence, battery life all work fine for me. Yes it's slow performance, but my needs are rather minimal and it works for me.

Instead of Ubuntu touch, try Gnome Mobile of Plasma Mobile 😊

I love the USB hub. Costs like 10 bucks I don't understand why not more keyboards offer this
