  • Android (currently GrapheneOS, just switched to a Pixel Fold) and postmarketOS (OnePlus 6/6T). I have SIM cards in both of them. Mobile Linux is awesome for pocketable PC and development purposes, but Android is better as a daily driver communication device, so I carry both. I did get Termux set up on my Pixel Fold though and got code to compile there as I want to be able to use the large fold screen for development. Hopefully one day we can run Phosh full screen with GPU accel and full touch input on top of Android.




  • This Android Translation Layer looks amazing for Linux phones. Waydroid is already pretty awesome, but it’s just running full fat Android on top of your Linux system and has all the limitations that brings (poor to no notification integration with the host system, poor integration of filesystem, extra resource usage for all of the Android services, issues with power management and suspend, inability to change resolution on the fly, poor integration with host onscreen keyboard, etc). I’ve used Waydroid on postmarketOS and it’s nice to be able to have Android apps available, but it almost feels like still carrying around a second phone, just that second phone is virtual. Something like ATL sounds like it properly integrates Android apps into the host OS. I need to give this a try soon.
