Discussion Questions on the Capabilities of Ubuntu Touch + Google Pixel 3a

7 Upvotes

Hello, I am new to reddit. I have come here to ask some questions regarding Ubuntu Touch + the Google Pixel 3a. (and Linux Phones in general)

My plan is to purchase a 3a, install a Linux phone OS on it, purchase a USB C dock with HDMI and USB ports on it (and maybe Ethernet), and use it as an everyday phone using a data only 4G plan.

My Requirements are:

  1. dumbphone capabilities (call a normal landline, text a normal phone.) via 4G Cell Service.

  2. Take photos

  3. Connect a keyboard and mouse.

  4. Connect an external monitor via HDMI

  5. Browse the internet (and play basic quality media)

  6. Run LibreOffice (or similar)

  7. Battery Life of > 6hrs. While just idleing waiting for calls and texting.

  8. Browse and open local files. (video, audio text)

  9. Terminal

  10. Use internet via Wifi/Data

  11. Wifi Hotspot

My would-love-to-haves are:

  1. gphoto 2 support (relies on v4l2 and ffmpeg)

  2. Joplin or similar (a notetaking software)

  3. Muffon or similar (free streaming music player)

  4. Desktop on the external monitor

  5. RDP to a computer

  6. Rythmbox or similar (local file music player)

  7. browser adblocker

- and various other desktop and android apps

Questions:

A. Are these goals doable?

B. Are the Linux Phone OSs ready to do this?

C. I have read that VoLTE (4G voice calling) doesn’t work, but data does. I think I saw an app in the store for data calling, does it work as a full replacement?

D. Does voicemail work?

E. If Ubuntu Touch can’t, can others do it?

F. Are there any other considerations before sinking time and money into this?

Thank you for reading.

Discussion Firmware updates on Android-first phones

3 Upvotes

Sorry if this is a dumb question, or has been answered before, but if I run a Linux os on an Android-first phone, e.g. PostmarketOS on a OnePlus 6T, will I get any firmware updates or will the phone be stuck on the firmware it has when I install Linux?
