Do you know what the coolest feature of the PinePhone is? The 6 golden pins under the back panel. They are called 'pogo pins', and they provide unsolicited access to the battery (giving the user the ability to expand the battery with a back cover mod), and a full I2C interface, enabling modders to create their custom back panels and add limitless functionality. There is already a fingerprint mod available, and someone did a thermal camera mod. It really is for the community who would like to fiddle with this stuff.

"Why is game B in game A's case, let's find game B's case. Oh, game C is in game B's case... well, let's find that case" and 6 cases later you finally find what you're looking for. But there's always that one awesome game which disc had completely disappeared, and the kid always acted indifferent to it... 😂

WINE can run just about any game you throw at it and handles programs just as well as long as they aren't expecting direct hardware access. FOSS equivalents to paid software (when said software isn't already Linux native) are pretty much just as functional as their proprietary counterparts, even if they aren't as pretty -- I know of at least one, Blender, that's now a real competitor in the 3D graphics industry. Not to mention, no subscription licensing, once you download it you have it forever. Linux just works now, and has for at least the last five years.

@@myownsite it's slow right now, but the primary reason for that is that Gpu acceleration is not enabled for most apps yet. So of course it's going to be a rough experience for a little bit longer, but if you've been following this thing, it went from having no oses and zero apps a little over a year ago to where it is now. and you saw it working well with ubuntu touch, which does have gpu acceleration for it's browser. that's enough proof that the hardware isn't the issue (at least not for everyday tasks. obviously you're playing any modern mobile games on it) So basically, anthony might want to wait a bit longer for that test, but once it's more ready I think it's a great idea to do a full review

Linux isn't android. It doesn't have to run stupidly ram heavy java apps. 1gb of ram is more than enough for linux, unless you're running something as bloated as ubuntu. The pinephone has extremely good specs for a linux device
@avrahamhollander9296 3 роки тому
“1gb of ram is more than enough for Linux” If you want to install ANY modern Linux distribution and run things like a web browser alongside other apps, you’re gonna need at least 4 gigs of RAM to be comfortable. Technically, Linux is capable of running on mere megabytes of memory, but that’s a moot point here. Even the iPhone 12, running heavily optimized iOS, still has 6GB of RAM. Hell, my own machine running KDE with various services loaded uses 1.6GB at idle. Also, Ubuntu isn’t “bloated.” GNOME, which is the default desktop environment for Ubuntu, happens to use slightly more system resources than other desktop environments. So what you’re trying to say is that GNOME is “bloated,” which is also a ridiculously over exaggerated statement used by people who don’t like GNOME’s UI. Also, you can literally see the UI animations stuttering in the video. I’m sure there’s more software optimization to be done, but the PinePhone is made of very low-end hardware. Even a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM will run Linux better than the PinePhone.

i just got the beta edition with convergence package. it seems a bit underpowered, however it can do basic things well, like texting, calling, internet (a little choppy but okay), etc. (and also run dosbox hahaha) the convergence feature works sometimes with my monitor, and right now with the stock distro it's very fickle when connecting to my monitor/keyboard/mouse. what i very much dislike is the lack of easily switching between apps while using the convergence package. seems to be more tedious than it needs to be, but i'm definitely going to give the other official distros a go and see if any of them improve the things i gripe about. what's worth it's weight in gold to me is the excellent terminal, access to vim, gcc, and lynx (yeah i like text based web browsing, i know i'm weird). actually i do almost everything in terminal, because the gui file system browser they provide is awkward and confusing to my old brain. all in all, i'm glad i got it, but i'm not entirely sure it will replace my android phone just yet without more tinkering. great video and great rundown of the phone.

If you're looking at modularity, the fairphone is a very interesting company. They make most of their phone modular so you can reduce the wastage from upgrading your phone and they source their metals using ethical supply chains they set up. I did a case study on them and was amazed by how they didn't just put out a public statement of how they are against wastage and took out the charger but instead, made a change through their product and sources. I would love to see a short circuit on it, even if the product isn't too complex.
