I just bought a OnePlus 6 to test out mobile Linux and it’s not there yet. Firefox it a pain to use and it doesn’t auto rotate either. So far it’s been good to read manga on and… Ye that’s about it. Camera doesn’t work on it and the UI still isn’t the best. I haven’t used KDE’s DE for phones yet but I’ve used phosh and now I’m using gnome mobile and so far gnome mobile is a lot better but still buggy. I’m excited for the future development of it but with how locked down phones are it’s a bleak future
I use Geary and it works well. Just go into settings and allow it to check for notifications when app is closed. It’ll run and the background and I’ll get the notification then just open up thunderbird to actually check it
I went with a used ThinkPad yoga 370. It still only has a dual core while the following Gen has 4 cores, so it seemed there was a price gap. It has thunderbolt 3 for when I want to switch to a bigger screen (with a cheap USB c dock) and USB c charging. Also I wanted to try a touchscreen on a laptop. I should be able to upgrade the single ram stick in it at some point. Running arch with sway without problems.
Edit: I had a x240 for years before. It was fine but I appreciate the higher resolution of the 370, even if I ended up using fractional scaling as it was just a bit too small.
