From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Uhh the pinephone in general sucks for daily use . its a tinker phone
Really? I thought mine was great
Buuutt are you someone who travels and uses airline and banking and hotel apps? Or do you stay home and use arch on a thinkpad ?
/joky
I have done all of those things without apps. Why the fuck would I want an airline and hotel app?
Hotel: check in to room immediately without even going to front desk, even if its 3 am.
Airline: instant update of gate changes. When you need to sprint to make your flight because thr gate changed to one a half mile away, this is something you can't live without. TVs are getting less and less in airports now. Also, literally no one uses a paper ticket and I suspect they'll be phased out completely in 5 years. Too easy to fake.
There are people alive today who have never once written a check (I do, often), so you can kiss all of our old analog paper ways goodbye in a few years.
Yeah I have never written a cheque either but I don't need an app as an alternative. Don't really see why I would need an app to tell me about gate changes at an airport, how often are you flying? I have changed devices more often than I have been in airports.
Well we are different in that regard. I keep shit a long time ha, so ive probably had my phone 3 years and been in a plane 5 or 6 times . my SO flies a lot more, has many times had to sprint to their gate because it changed last minute.
Plus, we dont own a printer anymore (ink=scam) so thats another hassle to go print a ticket. I'm guessing you can't even print at home either you probably need to use the airport printer.
I also keep my phones for a long time and don't own a printer. I just don't fly all the time.
Almost nothing works on it. Can make calls, but not receive, can open the camera, but not take a photo, etc.
Who would I be getting calls from? I use Linux.
