Samsung A5 - 2015 version only? (beehaw.org)
 

I'm interested in getting an inexpensive device to install PostmarketOS on just to play around with mobile Linux and maybe do some testing (I'm not expecting this to be my daily driver phone).

The Samsung A5 seems like a device that works reasonably well with PM and can be bought on Ebay fairly cheaply. However, it looks like most of the A5 I see on Ebay are 2016 and 2017 models. I notice the Wiki specifically mentions the 2015 model though.

Are these devices compatible, or do I need specifically the 2015 model?

Any other suggestions for inexpensive mobile devices that support PM that are widely available?

How has hardware compatibility been for you with Guix? It seems compelling g to me but my understanding is that it strictly avoids non-free blobs

Seems like this has been ‘almost ready’ for years now

Suggestions for LineageOS device? in c/[email protected]

Thanks, I'll check the One and Nexus 6 out. No need for 5G, I don't think my cell plan even includes it. IT is a shame that so many devices are locked down. I look forward to the day PostmarketOS and companies like Pine64/Purism are good enough for daily driving

Yeah, I'm not committed to LineageOS, it just seems like the most well known/default option in this space. What do you like about Graphene?

Due to some damaged hardware, it's about time for me to get a new phone. For my next device, I'm looking to use use LineageOS

Does anyone have suggestions for a used device with good LineageOS support? I'm looking for something decent but not too expensive with good compatibility. Any other tips for a new user?

Sweet, that is the kind of thing I'm looking for. Thanks

It works well. I imagine browsers on other platforms are similar, Gemini doesn't offer a bunch of bells and whistles anyway

Looking to find more indie/small-web content to replace big tech sites. I enjoy Lemmy and Mastodon, but does anyone know any good Gemini and Gopher protocol sites that actively post content?

what web browser do you use and why? in c/[email protected]

I like Epiphany, but I think it leaks memory or something. After running for a while it starts taking tons of memory and closing tabs doesn’t seem to release it (the computer goes back to normal when it’s closed completely though). Maybe it’s just the Fedora build, I’m not sure

There’s also Otter Browser for another WebKit based choice, but it’s pretty rough and developed slowly
