Of course! I’ve loved mine. The community and integration with Gadgetbridge are both awesome. You’re in for a treat if you go this route.

On the watch front I opted for the Bangle.JS 2. The abstraction to everything being JavaScript can be annoying, but takes away some foot guns for tinkerers who don’t want to optimize lower level code.

Cool video and channel. Thanks for posting!
TLDW:
[It was a cool attempt that may have spurred mobile Linux devs in an important way. Removable battery + hardware switches for communication subsystems were genuinely innovative and in tune with community interests. Also it was bad. 8 year old CPU, software that was trying to do everything everywhere all at once, cameras that didn’t work then technically did. Pine64 still exists and the Pinephone Pro is a thing (that the presenter hadn’t tested).]
Presenter was generous when describing the end product. It seems to me like they want to like it but came to the same conclusion as most did – it’s definitely not a daily driver. That said, it doesn’t have to be to remain a cool product.
Do give them a watch though if you have a chance. This is from a <1k subscriber channel and was well put together.

I use this on my system! It’s been the only declarative flatpak mechanism I’ve gotten to work. Simple, easy to configure, and a descriptive systemd log. What more could you ask for
Amazing work! I’m very excited to see mobile Linux reach a usable state for every day processing. Thank your for your time and energy. It is valuable and going to good use.
Why the Pixel 3a? Is there anything special about it (or not special, which might mean my old 3XL is good for more than gathering dust?)
How can I get involved? I know my way around C and would love to pitch in.
To add on to this already good description, wanted to give my $0.02 on the notion of apps.
The only way it might seem like you lose app(lication shortcut)s might be if a tool other than GNOME’s built in search is looking in a different directory, likely based off of an environment variable.
By default, hyprland doesn’t come with an equivalent to GNOME search. I use wofi to get similar functionality, but there are many tools that can do the job. Just make sure they’re looking in the right place or launch things manually from a terminal and you’ll be all set!
I agree, the CLI is good enough. Thanks for the note about the GUI package manager! I hadn’t heard about that.
I also second the positive interactions. Mine have been almost exclusively positive. I’ve come across a few no effort “RTFM, idiot” attitudes but it’s rarer on Nix forums and repos than I’ve seen elsewhere.
