1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

MODERATORS
Other people have mentioned the limitations of the hardware so I won't bother rehashing it but I do think there is a lot of potential in a Linux distro for phones.
Right now Linux phones are incredibly niche but we have seen some improvements in software around the release of the PinePhone and the Pro model so I have hope that it will, eventually, work. SailfishOS is a paid OS and is a fairly limited but it does feel quite smooth to daily drive on supported devices. Simple frequent tasks (ex. Finding public transit routes to a coffee shop) do seem to take longer to complete on Linux phones but I am hoping that will be sorted in the next couple years.
