  • I have one and opted for a Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS because of the pinephone’s many shortcomings:

    • Terrible battery life when on, though can last on standby
    • Phone has terrible performance. It is frustrating to do basic tasks because it is too slow.
    • It gets uncomfortably hot when using it.

    Some things I liked:

    • Screen was fine
    • All the phone hardware features work (unlike my op6)
    • Plastic back makes the phone pretty rugged.

    I might have stayed with the pinephone if it was more powerful like the pro, and might have brought a battery bank so I don’t have to worry about running out.


















  • I daily drove a Oneplus 6 with PostmarketOS for a few months. While it was very cool and gave me a bunch of freedom compared to android, I missed things like always having proper mobile UIs and a working camera. It is my understanding that the fairphone 4 is in a similar state of support, if a bit worse. Can recommend it though if you like using linux and don’t need banking or a camera from your phone.



  • Interesting. I usually will use the measuring tools as a sanity check to make sure I did not mess up before I spend an hour printing. Most of my projects are mostly composed of primitives and boolean modifiers so I can usually put my dimensions in the panel that appears when you create an object.
