Hi
As the title says I’m thinking of getting a PinePhone. I intend to make it my daily-driver. I’ve read it isn’t ready for daily-driver use but I really only need it to do 3 things…
- Calls
- Texts
- Run a Signal/Molly client
I have an iphone for work and de-Googled Androids that I can turn on if I ever need but I want to avoid it as much as possible
I was happily living with a Punkt MP02 when it worked but it’s Signal client is a constant shit-show
So what is it like? Are calls and texts reliable? Has anyone used Signal on it? I’m probably going to do the PostMarketOs/Plasma combo
any experience you can share is helpful
Calls - sure.
Texts - sure.
Signal was laggy and inconvenient to install. Other, native, messengers are better, but if you require Signal, you may need to accept lags during startup. BTW, audio (in other messages) with wired headphones was perfect.
Also, battery’s gonna be somewhat of a pain most likely. At least without battery optimization, which IDK if it exists; I never did.
