Started writing, but then got sidetracked... by making audio calls work. :)
Will post the link here soon, just want to verify there are not too many dumb mistakes in it, do not want to fruatrate anyone with terrible docs. :D

You won't have to wait for very long.
Let me know if you'd like a writeup of the way I currently build the image out of the linked sources and what files (temporarily) need manual fixes, in case you want to try it out. Could still take a while to get the kernel and the call audio daemon ready for Mobian and to get it included, but other than that... Pretty close ^_^
If you exclude the time your PC does compiling and works for you, then it is probably 20 minutes work to get an image currently. :)
I also have an Ansible role which does the few fixes I need for now, like that one systemd unit. I could publish that as well in case others want to be alpha testers and tell me about any issues they notice.
I should probably also create a repo with a temporary issue tracker until there are official images. 🤔
Thanks! I will definitely be able to. I could already have it as my daily driver using VoIP, until call audio works, but I know I could already compile the daemon myself and it will just work. :)
But as I want others to be able to use it at some point, I will delay using it as a daily driver and instead make sure the few remaining issues get sorted out.
Much better than my Pinephone, lol
I cannot complain. I have not used it for a whole day yet as I am mostly fiddling with the kernel packaging and I want to get call audio working before I use it as my daily driver, but I have no reason to believe it would not last the whole day. No issues here. Probably longer battery life than with Android. It does not constantly talk to Google, after all. xD
Only if you have a different use-case or if you are a fundamentalist. Most software is not inherently bad, it just might not be what you want.
Not having systemd was always the only reason I did not seriously consider using it, now I will have to re-consider.
Okay, just wrote an Ansible Playbook to roll out the workarounds, including call audio, which I just got to work, I've also tried to get Bluetooth working, but the udev rule is still broken.

There are also some hastily written steps for building an image. :)
Let me know what things are unclear, I will improve this.
