I’m looking to start testing out and developing for mobile Linux and am curious what the current best options are for used devices that support it.
I have done a bit of digging and the most popular choice seems to be the Oneplus 6, but it looks like supply has somewhat dried up and prices are creeping up on the second hand market… not to mention that it is starting to get a bit old.
I noticed that msm8953 devices are starting to get mainline support so tried getting lk2nd running on my phone (Moto G7), but couldn’t get it to boot.
Is the (mainline supporting) hardware landscape really this bleak?
OnePlus 6s are still being manufactured for spare parts, you can buy one on Aliexpress for around $150
