1 year agoI think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:
- why you want to get away from Fedora
- what you liked about Fedora that kept you there until now
- what you hope you’d get from a new distro
- any nonstarters that would keep you away from a distro
Without knowing those things, it’s just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you’re looking for.
Buddy had one. Second-hand, it seemed like a tremendous pain in the ass, didn’t allow him to do most things, and in the end it seemed a moot point. The radios are all closed source/proprietary, it connects to closed source/proprietary/corporate-controlled towers, and you’re sending data to people running totally insecure devices. Ultimately his use case was to just establish a VPN connection to his home computer and route everything through that.
I can see getting into a Linux phone for the interest of the operating system and trying to push the technology, but if it’s a security/privacy issue, I think you’re much better off either using a dumbphone or a burner.
