Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.

It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

    That’s cool! So there aren’t any issues with phone calls anymore? I think people complained about audio quality, but I guess my PinePhone also has some issues like that.

    But if you do, I would recommend to use megi’s u-boot fork to improve your battery life.

    Doesn’t everything use Tow-Boot now?

      No call issues at all, I daily drive it.

      Doesn’t everything use Tow-Boot now?

      Yes, but it’s a distribution of U-Boot and it some releases behind. Megi recently implemented many cool features for U-Boot for PPP and it will take time until they appear in Tow-Boot. So I would recommend to use provided binaries from Megi for now, see his blog for more details: https://xnux.eu/log/091.html.
