● Why I like Android 🤖

I really hope #Volla can pull it off. They're surely in a better position for it than most. It'd be even better if they could ship their stuff to US or JP.

These days I've all but given up on dedicated #linux tablets/phones. Even though we have loads of em that are capable of running #postmarketOS, most of em still fall short of usable most of the time. The only folks who seem to have nailed the linux handheld experience is the #SailfishOS team. But of course there's a problem with that'n as well; if you're outside the EU, you'll have to suffer the trimmed-down DIY version of it.

These days I've found it much more practical to run something in a #chroot environment within #termux. I runs quite well on nearly any #android capable device via #proot, or even better in a proper chroot on a rooted one.

Another #Android phone, possibly a partnership with #OnePlus, is bringing back the headphone jack. It's oriented to "audiophiles" which greatly humors me since the pitch to drop the headphone jack depended on marketing that Bluetooth would offering superior quality.

This one would include both a standard ⅛“ and a 4.44mm balanced jack!
