When it comes to the current final frontier, Linux phones, what brands/models would be the best option? Or are you all really recommending iPhones?
I’m looking at Fairphone 6. EU based, has an option called /e/os which is basically degoogled Android, and it also has full support for Ubuntu Touch (Linux phone).
Recommending iPhone because of freedom restrictions feels quite ironic
Linux handheld with a 4g usb modem, doing calls over the internet. Just an idea, im not doing this, nor do i know how practical it actually is.
You can’t sideload in Linux.
“All” you need to do is reflash your phone and reinstall Android/Chromium (soon to be renamed Android). Since you are not a certified supplier, the checking is not activated.
On Chromebooks the setting will be on, since they are used in schools, but since it has a terminal you can remove the block, it won’t be simple, probably terminal commands and changing configuration files, but it won’t be impossible.
