Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years

I so wished there was a Linux distribution with proper phone support & tuned to sustain the battery power, but usable with a docking station.
My dream is to no longer have to carry a laptop anywhere, just my phone, and a keyboard (if needed) and mouse, and a USB-C hub with HDMI cable, mouse & keyboard USB ports, then plug in that phone to a hotel TV or a monitor at a business partner’s place and work directly on the phone.
Laptop stays reserved for stuff that requires more computing power than LibreOffice.

Absolutely, Pinephone is an awesome project for tinkering, but it’s not a practical alternative to just buying a cheap phone.

A pity since I love the convergence package + phone, but battery is dead before I have used the phone…
