    Experimental support for personal data encryption

    That feature is massive as it is one of the largest criticisms of linux phones.

    I’m installing the update as we speak!

    this might be the direction I go once my current phone dies. Seems like calling doesn’t fully work on Plasma Mobile, so until then, either Ubuntu Touch or maybe Graphene OS seem like good options.

      Graphene is great, I’ve been using it for a few years now. But I started wanting more storage, so looking towards the Fairphone and Shiftphone, which would require a move to Calyx or Lineage. That got me thinking about the state of AOSP, seeing Google being rather abusive towards FOSS, and I think Sailfish attracts me more that Ubuntu Touch at the moment. It seems to get a lot more development effort, and has the C2 as a more guaranteed first class citizen.

      Now getting one to the US, that’s another question.

          Yeah, though I’m looking more to have it as a home phone with my music and downloaded maps and stuff. I’ve gotten used to not having much of any cell service where I live, so I moved my number to jmp.chat (considering voip.ms instead), and don’t even turn on data most times I leave the house.
