I support this so much, however due to work, I can not get away from Android/iOS. Many companies want you to install Microsoft Authenticator with this generally wanting to prompt you for MFA authorisation when accessing company resources. On top of this they often want you running Company Portal on your device too if you're accessing resources such as emails or IM

I was forced into using Microsoft Authenticator as well, but you can extract the tokens it uses for TOTP code generation from its database lol.

Linux phones don't even really exist right now. Wonder why Ubuntu has never tried again.

The only thing I ask for is VoLTE actually working.

I wish that there were better kernels around. A monopoly (Windows on a desktop, Linux on a phone - well, at least iOS still has BSD) is not a good thing on any platform.

2026 year of the BSD phone.

I would only consider getting a linux phone as a toy to play with in addition to my actual phone that I actually need to work and be supported. It’s just too niche imo
