      @thelinuxEXP
      You should look for a Fairphone 5 on the secondhand market. It’s even more sustainable than usual because you’re buying it used, and /e OS is officially supported. I switched to the Fairphone six months ago, and I’m very happy with it.

      We don’t even need to talk about /e OS - it’s just fantastic ❤

          @thelinuxEXP Great video for smartphones. I’m on iOS too, but if I had to choose right now, I’d go for a Samsung or a Nothing 4 Pro. The only apps I use that are similar to AirDrop are LocalSend and Pairdrop.

          For a fitness tracker, I recommend the POLAR Loop—it doesn’t require a subscription, and you can still wear a classic watch if you don’t need notifications.
