I've also noticed this at times with OSMAnd+ on Android. Especially when using it to navigate while in a motor vehicle, as opposed to on foot or bike.

"When I was inside, I often found myself using it with an external monitor using it’s included dock.

With this setup, I was surprised at how capable the PinePhone was as a laptop. I often found myself editing documents in LibreOffice, and at one point even managed to edit a video using Kdenlive!

Overall, even with its quirks, my year with the #PinePhone went quite well,and I never really found my self longing for my Android."

Anyone out there willing to get on a voice/ video call and talk me through installing a fresh OS on a PinePhone? Sometimes over the next couple of weeks would be great.

I'm an old hand at replacing Windows with GNU/Linux on desktops and laptops, but I've never tried to install an OS on a mobile device.

@strypey @jjardon I have seen people expressing an opinion that Android has drifted apart so much that they consider it not linux anymore. So in terms of reaching people and searchability a hashtag with the word linux is going to be good. Also, my weird brain, after seeing #MobileGNU would ask: Wait, is Hurd on mobile now? But that's just me.

> what do people think we should use for #linux on #mobile topics?

#MobileGNU. Android is already Linux on mobile. What you're describing is mobile OS that have GNU as the userland on top of the Linux kernel, instead of Android.
