I bought my pixel 3axl for $105 and threw Ubuntu Touch on there.
When you do such a thing and install a Linux mobile distro on it, does the End Of Life aspect of the phone still is a problem?
Not as long as the parts keep working. When you install Linux distros it extends the years of support given to a device.
Okay thanks as I wouldn’t want to put cash in a device (even a cheap one) I’d only be able to use for a few years.
