Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.
Yeah, because it's a Pinephone. It's an underpowered set top box SoC from around a decade ago. Definitely try something else. :)
Could you make some helpful suggestions for alternatives perhaps?
I've been recently porting Mobian to the Pixel 3a and posting about it here*. Now, Mobian is close to being ready, but is not yet. I've been using it as a daily driver for a few months now, but it is not what most people looking for a well-working phone would want, currently. If you want to try a well supported device now, I suggest trying postmarketOS on the Pixel 3a perhaps, they're a bit quicker than I am, mostly because more people are working on it.
The Pixel 3a has recently been called one of the best supported Linux phones with a mainline kernel. Only issue right now is the camera not producing sharp photos, but they're people working on the drivers in the kernel to improve on that.
Other than that, I don't really know what's well supported, as I focus on what I have available here.

Awesome! I'll be looking forward to your next posting when you get to it.
I just realised I did not link to my most recent post, but the one before it. This one is two months newer: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/22388672
This was the state three months ago. Quite a few things changed, I will definitely post an update once I find the time.
🙏
I have heard that postmarketOS works well on OnePlus 6. I have not tried it myself, though
