can an average person use a linux phone?

@linuxphones

I’ve been reading some articles about mobile Linux and many of them state one must be an “advanced user” or that the software isn’t secure. How true is this?

I already use Linux on my laptop, but I’m not a software developer or anything like that. Would I be able to slap a new OS onto an old Android phone and be on my way, or would I run into problems?

    I would advise against it. Most of the Linux phones are really not “average user” friendly yet.

    However if you have one of the well supported devices from here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ you can give it a try.
