My ideal ecosystem would be having a Fairphone 5 (Postmarket OS) paired with the Pinetime Watch, the Framework Laptop (Linux Mint), the Steam Deck, the AMD desktop (Nobara) and the openwrt router.

The services I would use would be Lemmy, Wikipedia, Mastodon, Organic Maps, LibreOffice, Ecosia, Loops, Librewolf, Thunderbird, Friendica, Pixelfed, Proton, GOG, Peertube, Matrix, Localsend, Gitlab, Kiwix, Audacity, Gimp and Bookwyrm.

  • Hmmm. Ok, Thanks. I still need to wait, then. I do have a need for Android apps; so many companies have their own, and they’re often superior to the web experience.

    One thing I’m frustrated with at the moment is that Android can’t run two VPNs concurrently, and may never. I really want a Linux phone so I can set up a private VPN on a subnet, with hosts entries, to get at my personal servers, while also having all public traffic going through my VPN provider. Android can set up only one VPN subnet, with include and exclude masks, but still only one VPN peer endpoint. It’s driving me nuts.
