I think I’m reading this blogpost correctly: Mobian devs working on maintaining Linux kernel support for Pinephone painted themselves into a corner with tech debt, and may not be able to continue porting new kernel updates. Pinephone Pro runs a different chipset with wider community support, so it’s not affected.
I didn’t see any communities or articles talking about this, so either it’s not a big deal, or nobody is talking about it.
You want to know what phone had that GPU? My first smartphone around 2010, a 5.5" phablet (yes I am old). I had to overclock that phone to be able to play 720p videos without lag with MX Player’s speedup hacks. Since then, I am on my 4th smartphone and will change to 5th soon enough.
It is insane how detached FOSS projects are from reality, not understanding there needs to be some gap filling now that 2024 is around the corner. Performance is a legit concern, and nobody is asking for the latest SD 8gen2 or Dimensity 9200. Something around Antutu score of 350K will do very well, considering the P30 Lite I daily drive scores about 140K on Antutu, and is quite snappy after 4 years.
