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.
gollark: Ideally a Nokia-durability one, but to be fair that's probably not practical with smartphones.
gollark: Plastic is superior.
