   @neil seen the absolutely bonkers devices from Unihertz? A company that makes phones for no one?

   I have a titan but the Titan Pocket looks more like my E71

     @me so the titan has solid support for Lineage, which is close enough to Linux for me, but definitely isn't.

     gitlab.com/ubports/porting/com… there are guides but I treat my Titan like it's made of gold.

     They also sold me spare parts directly and had guides for replacing components!

     *has a look around*
     I've been wondering what to replace my current phone with when it finally gives up the ghost. Ideally, what I'd like is a handheld ARM-based Linux machine that happens to also work as a phone (sans Android). Do they make anything like that?

     Hmm...

     Unihertz are GPL violators and have been ignoring kernel source code requests sent by multiple people. Coincidentally, this heavily limits the possibilities for alternative OS projects for this device.
