It is in fact not that secure by default. It lacks a way to manage the desktop in mass. Not to mention is also lacks a firewall and selinux but those can be enabled. Also I wouldn’t trust the lock screen as it can be bypassed because it is Xorg.
Linux Mint is very good for general usage but I doubt its security in a military application. It is better than before which is good.
I really want phones like this to actually work and to succeed, but there are so many things these companies have to get just right – it’s a huge undertaking.
Releasing a phone that’s admittedly unfinished seems really risky. People are getting sick of unfinished products being tossed at them for full price, with the empty promises from the company that those missing features will be added in later.
@Magnolia_ I drive Fedora on laptop without any issues, and I reaally like Wayland and Fedora. X11 still better for normal people. Also UI and UX similar on Mint to Windows
Similarly, there’s System Admin Girl★まんがでわかるLinux シス管系女子 Imported a physical edition just for the quirky factor of a Linux Admin manga, but it is pretty well made and does explain pretty well some bits (even if from the first episode, they explain how to do VNC if i remember, from a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop, so fairly easy and old) but it still on-going !
While I don’t recommend using unmaintained version of an OS, you can find Fedora torrent files here. Might as well explore other distro if Fedora doesn’t work for your laptop.
Idk I never really liked mint it seemed too ui polished without much back end polish.
For some reason its the goto for noobs maybe since it comes with a desktop already bundled with no extra config needed usually. But theres so many distros that have that now as well as up to date packages.
It’s really nice hardware. And for some segments of the market, it’s not even particularly expensive compared to alternatives of similar build working.
I have the Samsung one right now, but the problem with it is that I can’t charge while listening to music and I ain’t gonna sacrifice sound quality with a 2 in 1 dongle.
These specs actually seem really solid for the price point, I’m glad to see decent alternative smartphones popping up that actually have some power.
What’s bugging me is the lack of information about the software. Apparently this is Android with a layer like Hallium to run a Debian userspace on top? And yet they don’t advertise that fact. It’s just a little off putting that this product seems to be aimed at Linux/general tech enthusiasts, yet the company seemed to miss the fact that those customers tend to really like knowing what they’re running under the hood.
