gollark: <@151391317740486657> The specs are basically RPi3-level, which I'm okay with. I personally am fine with Linux on phones/desktops, don't try and enforce your preferences on me. And I don't like/trust Google, you can if you want but I don't.
gollark: See, this is a very evil device.
gollark: Happily, the PinePhone seems pretty great for repairability and runs Linux, so I hope it will be possible for me to get one.
gollark: My *old* phone had a removable plastic back panel so you could swap the battery. My new one is metal backed and I don't know if you can access the battery or replace the screen at all.
gollark: It annoys me that phones are significantly harder to repair than they have to be.
