I don't know why they made the background blur so subtle. Even I, as a non-UI/UX designer understand that readability is important. Apart from the slightly harsh edges, I think Liquid Glass looks solid. Way better than hideous flat design.
EDIT: To clarify, "Liquid Glass" looking solid does not mean the appearance seeming to not be liquid. It is, in fact, liquid.

When I first saw this... This is like a very very bad free Android icon pack. Makes the phone straight unusable. Can you actually switch to the normal "theme"? My wife unfortunately has an iPhone and I, as an IT guy in the family, usually get blamed for OS updates on her phone, whenever something becomes different. This won't go down easily :)
I sure hope so. Additionally I hope apple will start paywalling core functions.
What I mean to say: lineageOS works well, the phones are cheap and very usable. The OS is free and the more people use it the better it will become.
I am writing this comment on an ubuntu touch phone, it is very usable surprisingly, been on it for months now
Are you in the US? If yes, which band (GSM/CDMA) and which phone? Ive been wanting to get off of pixels & Android for ages but I'm scared of not being able to actually use my phone as a phone.
Turkey, fairphone, turkcell currently. It runs android apps just fine
Are you just using web login for everything then? Like for banking and such?
How do you navigate Incompatibilities?
My banking app works just fine but probs specific to mine. android apps run just well. I don't have much problems to navigate
Holy fuck that looks like ass
It's liquid ass
Waiting for a stable release for OnePlus 7.
I'm very open to being an early adopter of mobile Linux phones. I've been unable to because of a couple of factors. I last seriously checked about half a year ago so take this with a pinch of salt.
To get a Linux phone to be competitive on performance we'll need to get driver APIs and component lists open sourced so it'll be easier to gather the appropriate info and make drivers.
There has been tons of progress though, Gnome and KDE have really strong touch support now and the apps scale decently.
It's coming but now fairphone is the only phone that openly supports Linux mobile distros and is open sourced.

the rest of your post
What you are trying to say is you are very open to be a late adopter of mobile Linux phones, adopting a Linux phone when it actually works.
Early adopters are those who tough out the crap. The issue with Linux phones is they've been stuck in early adopter land for the last 20 years.
I'm up for installing Linux on my last phone when it's added to the list of devices that have official/unofficial support. I'm not going to install anything until WiFi and mobile data is supported tbh.
I tried installing Ubuntu touch for fun a couple of years ago but it didn't boot. I just want to get to a point where I can install the OS and send bug reports.
I get what you are saying, but unless you buy a specific linux phone with some semblance of professional support (e.g. Pinephone) this won't really get better. The best time to buy a Linux phone was a bit over 10 years ago when Canonical still actually supported Ubuntu Touch. That was pretty much the last time there was any serious effort in that regard. Since then it's just been hobbyists doing hobby things in hobby quality.
In my case my country simply doesn't get any
I am so considering starting to experiment with an Linux phone. But it will be a long time until it can do contactless payments, bank apps, safe biometrics and heavy apps. Now that I think about it,it shouldn't be impossible.
I would say give up on contactless if you ever want to use a Linux phone. In addition to the fact that if youre in the US Google/Apple/Samsung are definitely selling your spending habits to the highest bidder, I see no future short of world peace where banks agree to work with FOSS devs to create a secure enough system for wireless payment to work.
Get a thin case and put your card in it numbers facing in. It works the same :P
Sorry but having to carry a wallet is a big trade-off for me. I would give up a lot of data for the convenience I have been enjoying for years of not carrying a single card.
Do you regularly use more than one card?
When apple pay became a thing (and gov wallet app soon after) my distilled wallet had three bank cards and 1 ID.
My phone wallet now has 10 bank cards, gov ID, drivers license and 4 loyalty cards and 1 transit related info card.
10 bank cards? how many accounts do you have π΅βπ«
I can't speak to living that lifestyle, but I can at least share that there are options for loyalty cards on Android/Linux. I just have my one bank card I use and my ID. I bring my wallet when I know I need something in it.
SailfishOS (on Sony Xperia 10) and UbuntuTouch exist. Also the PinePhone but that is low low end.
I'd like to use a Linux phone, but it has to run Android apps though. They Gotta find a way, else it's never gonna happen.
I mean Waydroid runs Android apps on linux. Its currently the only way to play Roblox on linux with only 1 layer of trust (Roblox itself) (Sober exists but theres no source code, meaning you have to trust Roblox and SoberDevs code)
