I am looking forward to changing out my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. But I am very confused of what to choose, of the many options. Here is some criteria you guys could maybe help me choose the perfect fit from:
1: has to be able to use some android apps still, because of government- & banking applications. 2: the car runs it’s own android system, but android auto would be nice to still have. 3: It would be awesome to be able to use the linux phone as a pc as well. I loved the videos I have seen from ubuntu touch, where you just connect to a screen through usb c and you have a desktop environment. That is just awesome! 4: I am kind of pro EU. So if the OS is developed in europe and the phone that supports it from the factory is also EU based, it’s a huge plus in my book. Not a deal breaker though. My trusy on USA has just dissapeared sadly.
Hope someone will be able to help me out here! Thank you.
The way I read it is - they want to replace their phone and buy a new one. In case someone wants to replace the software on a Samsung phone, I don’t think there’s good options. Samsung phones rarely get good Custom ROMS or anything like that. I think what people do is root them, install Magisk and remove some crapware. But that’s basically it. Or you’d experiment with some unsupported repack or early effort at LineageOS with SELinux turned off or something like that. Linux doesn’t seem to work either. It’s often 10 year old models and most models don’t have calls working or wifi and a bunch of other things don’t work… I’m not aware of any Samsung with usable Linux support.
