I want to buy a mobile phone that would be great for linux mobile (ubuntu touch or postmarket os), fairphone 4 would be almost ideal if it wasn't so big (i'm currently using pixel 8 + GrapheneOS). What do you recommend for my desire to use a compact mobile for linux + a solid camera? Thanks for the answers.

There is almost no phones with camera that works on linux. Your best bet is phone that was specifically made for linux like pinephone or something.

I'll correct by saying that it's with mainline linux that those cameras don't work. Ubuntu Touch uses libhybris to run Android drivers, meaning most supported phones' cameras work there...

Interesting, I didn't know that. Probably because PostmarketOS is based on Alpine (no glibc).
