How do the Linux Phones already on the market (like the Furi Labs one I saw posted recently that has physical switches to disable GPS, mic, baseband, etc.) work? Do they just use cellular for data and require you to use wifi-calling and messaging apps?

Wouldn't the heavy transmission line itself act as the anchor like the chain on a cruise ship?
Oh man I've been using Voyager for a couple months now and didn't know this was a thing. What a cool feature!
This was a great read and nearly mirrors my experiences with immutable distros as well.
I jumped ship from windows into Debian at first and after running into a lot of strange issues (mostly self inflicted) I decided I liked the idea of an immutable distro + containers to keep me on rails and prevent me from nuking things I shouldn't.
I went with Aurora DX initially but decided to switch to Bazzite DX instead (which just took a single rebase command since they're both based on Universal Blue. That was very cool) In theory it sounds great but I've run into issues with containers that I don't understand. Specifically it seems like a permissions issue or something to do with the way my file system is set up. I tried installing a .deb into a debian container (same version and same .deb I had already installed just fine on Debian previously) but the container kept throwing weird errors about missing files. The path in the container error seems like it doesn't exist and even if I remake the container with a custom root directory I get the same error. Just very weird stuff like that.
I wish I could hop on a discord call with someone who is familiar with this stuff and have them walk me through some of this. I'm definitely not going back to Windows so I'll figure all this stuff out eventually, but its a bit of a struggle right now.
Similarly I want something that I can set to put me to sleep for X hours guaranteed. Insomnia is a bitch and ambien is awful. I just want to get ready for bed, set my alarm, and wake up exactly when I need to.
Oh I'm awful with faces. If I see someone I know outside of the context in which I know them I won't recognize them. Like running into a coworker at the grocery store I won't realize who they are unless they come speak to me and then it takes a second to click.
I'm like a 2. I can picture an apple, it has color and texture, but when I try to rotate it the colors don't really work, like I don't know what's on the other side. Same thing with picturing a rubix cube. I can imagine seeing maybe 2 or 3 faces of the cube and I know how rotations/moves work but when I visualize it the new faces are just colorless.
If I try really really hard I might be able to visualize colors on the new face but the colors definitely wouldn't be consistent on each side of the rubix cube.
I tried setting this up and did eventually get some windows apps working but they constantly had display issues, lost mouse focus or the mouse didn't align inside the app, window resizing issues, etc. Its good for things that are going to be very static and not much else.
Unless I just set it up wrong, which could definitely be the case.
He just posted a video about tricking AI license plate readers (possibly illegal where you live) that was also very interesting.
Yup!
Yep and if you wear them for too long your body will grow new blood vessels to supply your oxygen-starved eyes with what they need. These new blood vessels can cover your retina and can lead to blindness.
Learned that one by sleeping in daily disposable contacts for a while and losing a significant portion of my peripheral vision.

Thanks for the response! I've been confused about that for a while now and wasn't sure if there was a major leap in the Linux phone space with that release.
