can an average person use a linux phone?
I’ve been reading some articles about mobile Linux and many of them state one must be an “advanced user” or that the software isn’t secure. How true is this?
I already use Linux on my laptop, but I’m not a software developer or anything like that. Would I be able to slap a new OS onto an old Android phone and be on my way, or would I run into problems?
@duckweed @linuxphones So I think, about having to be an advanced user - it highly depends on your phone. Installing is far easier for some than for others.
About #security: There is an ongoing debate about it. /e/OS is probably not the most secure system in existence, but I think it is at least as secure as Android. The criticism probably comes from specialized circles - they developed some very secure systems, but they are often only available for few phones, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrapheneOS
