A bit late again, but I’ve been busy and dealing with life… I finally got my PinePhone up and running, mostly. I’m quite proud. I ended up going with Arch + Phosh image and not disappointed. Found a bunch of apps that work well on it as well. I’m definitely happy for once since it is basically usable now as a regular smartphone and as a mobile device for uh more nerdy things.
I am also debating which smartphone to buy to have as a backup phone, and there are three I looked at. All three have official Lineage OS support and one has Calyx OS support. I might end up buying 2 out of the 3.
Also been brainstorming and experimenting with a few ideas in labs and on my devices. Have a lot written down as a rough draft of what I want, and just need to go through my list to figure out what to prioritize to code and test in labs first. I am glad I wasted way too long figuring out this stuff because things are starting to turn out a lot better quality. I also have a nice list of hardware I want to buy… looking forward to being able to explore RF more and play with a lot of interesting hardware toys.
I have a lot of plans right now and just taking everything a bit each day.
Defiently still have way too much doubt in myself and questioning if this is really my thing, but life is confusing and sometimes sucks.
