playing with postmarketos on a Motorola G4 Play.
I went with phosh, and I'm actually impressed. Compared to my first time using real linux on a phone with my pinephone, this is actually surprisingly smooth, and a lot of it seems pretty intuitive. I think the browser it ships with is a desktop browser, and I have every reason to believe it could work with other desktop browsers.
Of course, the CPU is lacking, it only has 2GB of RAM (and only 8GB of flash), and I don't think it has any 3d acceleration so it's hardly a daily driver, but I only installed postmarketos on it because I wanted an aarch64 device running linux to complete a future project, but it really was shocking how snappy it was and how intuitive phosh is.
I'm expecting to get my hands on something considerably more modern in the near future, I'll have to give it a shot again once I do.
