the phone industry is owned by the big names

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:58 AM

the carriers have a pact

Last night tried to fight Bayle on elden ring dlc i got zero stutter so far only fps drop when he use his flying ac130 skill

Hhalva runs or "barely boots and then crawls on its knees until it hits a kernel panic"...

I couldn't say, I haven't used it, I like my phone to be (mostly) practical. I do use Graphene but that's about the most I'll inconvenience myself

Cat Pilot•6/26/24, 12:59 AM

So bazzite is very awesome

Cat Pilot•6/26/24, 12:59 AM

Windows is different story

there is literally no way for the thing i asked to actually be satisfied lol

Pez•6/26/24, 12:59 AM

it's down to each provider to support each baseband and they don't give a shit about stuff they didn't sell to you

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:59 AM

shit if a linux phone can call, sms, use web browser, and use alarm clock, and at least have a battery life of 5 hours, im happy

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 1:00 AM

about to be another sucker for pinephone

Kamquat•6/26/24, 1:00 AM

you can just run a proot in termux if you really want Linux on your phone

Pez•6/26/24, 1:00 AM

there is nobody pushing a real open baseband that everyone would agree on either, it's a pipe dream and at best you have hacks

Pez•6/26/24, 1:00 AM

so don't rely on it as a phone

Pez•6/26/24, 1:01 AM

it won't do that unless you live in some magical pixie land or your service provider actually sold you a linux phone for some weird reason

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 1:01 AM

@Kyle Gospo when we get these arm runners for github and all the other upstream shit is over, we're going to put bazzite on a phone /s

halva•6/26/24, 1:01 AM

the only time ive actually seen mobile linux being used for something in production is with new phones issued to russian cops, apparently it's some cn OEM model with plasma mobile shoved there without much consideration to its usability

Pez•6/26/24, 1:01 AM

i'm going to make sure both of you come down with gastro

halva•6/26/24, 1:01 AM

helio g99, a fairly ok-ish midrange chip, is barely able to run the damn thing lmao

Pez•6/26/24, 1:02 AM

sounds like they basically just rebadged some OPO6s

Pez•6/26/24, 1:02 AM

oh helio

Pez•6/26/24, 1:02 AM

ok that's yuck LMFAO

Janier•6/26/24, 1:02 AM

I can see the people flexing they have arch on their phone.

Pez•6/26/24, 1:02 AM

it's not a flex

Pez•6/26/24, 1:03 AM

having a phone that can't dial emergency services when you break your fucking leg in the middle of nowhere

Pez•6/26/24, 1:03 AM

is not very much of a flex

Janier•6/26/24, 1:03 AM

Lol

PPez ok that's yuck LMFAO

halva•6/26/24, 1:03 AM

it runs like a 50 euro 2013 handset based on some unisoc piece of ejunk lmao

Kamquat•6/26/24, 1:03 AM

Just bring an old Lumia with 4g and Windows Phone as an emergency backup

Pez•6/26/24, 1:03 AM

like it's cool if you want an ipod

KKamquat Just bring an old Lumia with 4g and Windows Phone as an emergency backup 😉

Pez•6/26/24, 1:04 AM

this probably wouldn't work nowadays either

halva•6/26/24, 1:04 AM

at least android would render at stable 60 fps, plasma mobile seems to just kill the thing on the spot

Pez•6/26/24, 1:04 AM

they have to support a very specific feature that you can only really guarantee from a 2019~ onwards baseband

KKamquat Just bring an old Lumia with 4g and Windows Phone as an emergency backup 😉

Janier•6/26/24, 1:04 AM

You want to call? Register your Microsoft account

Pez•6/26/24, 1:05 AM

modern service providers that shut down their 3g network rely on being able to make emergency calls over data

Pez•6/26/24, 1:05 AM

rules out any phone that falls back to 3g to get an initial connection

Pez•6/26/24, 1:06 AM

they might be able to place regular calls over wifi but they won't be able to dial emergency

VagrantWinds•6/26/24, 1:06 AM

does anyone know of any linux music library players/organizers that sort by album artist (NOT artist) and have a ui that doesn't feel 10+ years old? or am i gonna be using musicbee through wine/lutris/bottles forever?

Cat Pilot•6/26/24, 1:07 AM

But im struggle with undervolting on linux

Janier•6/26/24, 1:07 AM

Or maybe sorry, you can't call now, upgrade to win phone 11 now
