      Depends what you need on a daily basis. GPS does not work, even if it did, I have never gotten routing to work correctly in Pure maps. The photos are cropped-in, have a green tinge, and a faint blocky pattern mixed in, on the one back camera that works. You need to open an overlay that gives you a slider to control focus and exposure, since IIRC that stuff is not in the gnome camera app. The front camera is completely pink. No suspend, since the phone will not unsuspend for sms and phone calls. Firefox on a mobile screen is also pretty sketchy, especially when you start using add-ons.

      However, for all those woes, there are some pretty cool advantages (phosh DE on oneplus 6):

      • Images in the clipboard
      • App overview keeps apps in the same order
      • Calendar and ticket box plugins to use in the lock screen.
      • Logging into Nextcloud in the settings is all you need for contacts, files, and calendar sync. No dav5x needed like on Android.
      • No notification spam from system apps like is default on Android.
      • No need to learn new apps, they are the same ones I use on my desktop.
      • apk, the alpine package manager, is wicked fast imo
      • Most of the apos I use are gtk4, so it’s pretty visually consistent.
