  • Good point. Linux phones, even in their current state, might be a good middle ground for people with low needs.

    Although there’s two things I’d mostly be worried about.

    1. Battery life. Smartphones, including Linux ones, aren’t exactly known for amazing battery life. A dumb phone would likely last several times longer on a single charge.
    2. Physical durability. Even after all those years of structural improvements, smartphones remain fairly fragile. Usually I use high durability cases with my smartphones (ideally Otterbox Defender), though I don’t think anything similar is even available for any Linux phones. And of course, we all know dumb phones are generally durable enough.
