I dislike nvidia as much as the next guy, but I will admit it will be a net loss to bar them completely, as the customers of them, would leave and take their money with them, which im sure would harm some people at the very least, although Im sure I could have used a better example, maybe wine for instance. but I hope my point came across nonetheless
but I do somewhat share the opinion of gating nvidia out, keeping a second gpu just for cuda is an annoyance at best, and thats just when it want’s to place nice, just I don’t want them to take their customers with them xD
i have seen that on the last “Version” of the PinePhone it said “Power by Linux” on the back, which i found really nice looking.

Is it possible to also add this to this version of the phone?
Could be below the “enjoy the simplicity”?!
I have some questions regarding Lomiri, don’t know whether this is the proper place for it, or if it is deserves it’s own thread, but here goes: how exactly will Lomori work in the Manjaro release? Will it have Arch running underneath? Will it come with the ‘usual’ Arch + Manjaro package repositories that we known and love? Thanks for any answer/clarification.
I can’t get it right now, but it definitely looks promising! I just have a few questions –
How’s the experience with Facebook, Instagram, etc? The matter of the fact is some people don’t care/know about options for their privacy, so I have to hang on with them
Is the experience actually at a solid user experience right now? What’s it like when packages don’t exist? I think building stuff mitigates that, but I’m not positive
That’s all. Hope this is really is as good as it seems
So, I know the real thing is coming soon, but I wanted to go ahead and say, Lomiri on Manjaro is good stuff. It is obviously still getting work, but it runs smoothly (the things that run). I feel like it is the smoothest DE for the PP so far, but I haven’t played in plasma for a while.
Don’t know if you all want a list of things still broken or not (to help with work), but I’d happily oblige. Obviously in a different forum post…
However, this is just as good as I had hoped it would be, now just to see what kinda issues there will be with putting apps on it…
Thanks again for the hard work, let me know if you’re looking for testers! Can’t wait for the CE version from you all!
Well, i wish my next phone will be PinePhone. I currently have OnePlus 6 with custom kernel.
I’m on the same boat. What OS do you run on your OnePlus 6 as a daily driver currently?
I’ve long relied on LineageOS and tried UTouch recently but it is not usable yet on OP6.
I am not really interested in the average user or everyone. I’ve been on the edge for picking up a PinePhone because I think it might be (almost!) usable as a daily device for me. I am anxiously watching my wallet if it can handle a Manjaro PinePhone, because the Manjaro branding is just enough to tip the scales for me. (Pray for my wallet, it’s still recovering from two new mechanical keyboards…)
I’m very interested by this smartphone but I read on the net that it is not ready yet to replace a smartphone sell on the market. That’s why I posted here. I want to replace my old mobile phone by a smartphone, but only by a Linux smartphone and not by an android smartphone.
@ AlanP
May be in some weeks, but till now it is not ready to replace a smartphone.
In combination with crust, telefon funktion is not very stable yet.
To go for sure, just wait a little bit.
