I like re3, reVC and reLCS. These are reverse engineered versions of GTA 3, Vice City and Liberty City Stories with improvements. Take Two has thrown a strike on the main repository, but you can still find mirrors or builds in the internet.
It’s PinePhone Pro. Camera works badly, but at the time of purchase, it did not work, so we are slowly getting there. Banking apps work through Waydroid.
It’s not practical to use GNU/Linux on the phone, but fun 🙂
I daily drive Plasma Mobile on my PinePhone Pro and I enjoy it. Phosh is generally more popular choice for a Linux phone because it is more stable. But the latest version of Plasma Mobile works well and I like its UX more.
I would say it works okay. It’s far from Android, but we are getting there. When I first bought the phone Plasma Mobile was too immature for me, I used Phosh. I switched to Plasma a few month ago. Phosh also improves, right now animations are smoother, but I do not like the UX. At the moment there are no push notifications, swipe touch typing, some important applications are not tailored for the phone, there are minor bugs in Plasma Mobile, etc. But all this things are not important for me, so I daily drive it 😁 You can also run Android apps using Waydroid.
The most issue with PinePhone Pro for me is the chip. RK3399s is super hot and hungry, the phone holds about 1.5 hours. So I would recommend to buy the Pine keyboard which provides additional battery for the phone. There is even a phone + keyboard bundle on the Pine store.
Right, DanctNIX, but it’s basically ArchLinux ARM with additional repo with mobile and Pine specific packages. Yes, there are preconfigured images, but I prefer barebone ones 😉
I've been absolutely loving treesitter. It's come a long way and it's been absolutely great for things like folds, motions, highlights of course. Now that I've finally gotten familiar with writing my own queries I can extend the existing plugins. As an example I've added folds to blocks of multiple consecutive comments in JS and...

Does anyone here do their gaming on an SBC or hardware emulation machine? I’m considering trying to start an instance for these machines and am curious if there’s much desire
Curious about people's experiences with the PinePhone (not pro). Is anyone daily driving it? For those who have it and are not, what are the showstoppers?
I used it for some time. Software wasn't ready. Now software improved a lot (still far from Android of course), but the phone is slow for me, so I ordered PinePhone Pro and now I use it as a daily driver.
It’s Backbone One controller. Works out of the box (including pass-through charging and USB audio), but some applications don’t detect buttons correctly, so I remapped them using xboxdrv.
