@jbowen@mast.hpc.social as far as I am aware there are no mainline linux phones that reliably make calls. There are a number of devices that are very close to having most features working, Oneplus 6, Fairphone 4/5 and Pixel 3a for example. 2026 will be a really interesting year for #Linuxmobile as camera tuning improves and device support becomes more complete. I'm interested to learn more about how mainline linux devices can implement push notifications to wake the device.

    @dubstar_04@fosstodon.org @jbowen@mast.hpc.social At least the Librem 5 and Pinephone do (I'm using the Liberm 5 for half a decade for that now), both are mainline devices. I don't have first hand experience with a Pixel 3A regarding phone calls but there are people in the Mobian channels using it as their only phone (including phone calls): https://phosh.mobi/about/features/#fn:27 (in this case with suspend disabled).

    @dubstar_04@fosstodon.org @jbowen@mast.hpc.social #linuxmobile "Camera tuning" ? No sir, we are not doing camera tuning at the moment. We are in "it would be cool to have camera drivers", "major pieces of infrastructure are missing" and "oh, people would like to record video?" phases. For "boring phone", OnePlus 6 + phosh should work. And yes, people are working on cameras (including me, we can talk at Fosdem), but we are not yet in the tuning phase.
