Anyone use one of those Linux phones like pine phone or librem.

I was looking at a few months ago but settled on a deggooled phone. Are there user friendly distros for them?

    It works, the apps are ok. MAgic earth is considered the best one for open streets maps but is had old design. Like you have to manually download each map chunk, like the whole of Texas and Oklahoma if you travel in both states. Also it is not that complete when its own addressing so you need to search in a browser for addresses. And the maps don’t auto update and it won’t download over cellular by default.

      Ive tried magic earth while traveling. Though the ui is nice compared to osmand, i agree that there are extra steps. Sometimes i had to input the address of the place i found to an address to coordinate converter to plug that into Magic earth. I get the auto update maybe to save resources while using the app or prevent the app from rebooting/refreshing map after update.

      Thanks for the info.
