I have used postmarketOS, and I thought the interface (Plasma Mobile) was OK, but could use some improvements. How long ago did you use it?

Edit: Now that I think about it, I think the last time I tried the Pinephone it was using Manjaro, not postmarketOS. I have used that before though, but you may want to give it another try as it is vastly improved IMO. That being said, the Pinephone itself still kinda sucks from a hardware perspective.

I also run GrapheneOS, but I'd love to have a decent true Linux alternative that wasn't tied to Pixel phones. Maybe I can even get my headphone jack back.

A Linux phone doesn't need to be, and definitely shouldn't be, a scaled down desktop. There would obviously need to be some purpose built phone apps made, but I am pretty sure the existing Linux phones already do these, they aren't really breaking new ground here. The whole point would be to have a workable modern phone that isn't under Google or Apple's greedy untrustworthy thumbs.

Thanks, that might be a handy workaround.

Nearly positive that the youngest are still minors, but most of them are adults for sure.

My best guess is through complete obscurity :)

Please respond back if you can get it to work, navigation has always been a big sticking point with using GrapheneOS.

It is only slightly on topic, but I'd like to give a hateful shout out to Ticketmaster/Live Nation's new "mobile only" ticketed events that require you to have an iPhone or fully Google blessed Android phone. They do not allow you to use a QR code or printed ticket anymore, only their app with a constantly changing bare code or Google wallet (unsure of the IOS experience).

I am going to a concert this weekend and I either have to dig up some old phone that can work with this app or sell my tickets.

It does it in the US as well, and I find it infuriating. Especially when many of it's "shortcuts" are worse for reasons that its algorithm doesn't detect, like major pot holes, heavy pedestrian traffic, lack of visible street signs, etc.

I believe it was also because Pixels were some of the only phones that allow properly relocking the bootloader, but I could be mistaken.

You sure about this? I haven't been able to get it, or any other maps app on GrapheneOS, to play nice with Android Auto.
