I brought this phone a couple years ago and my son thought the inside folded screen had a screen protector on it so he removed it. This wasn’t a screen protector and it completely destroyed the inside screen. But the outside screen still works perfect and the camera is still top notch. I’ve been trying to figure out how to install Linux on it for a long time because I don’t need it as a half working phone, but as a PC it would really rock.

With AI finally in a place that it can really take its time and brute force stuff. We now have full fledge Ubuntu 24.04.5 on an OnePlus Open. I’ve been using it to AFK on my Minecraft server so I don’t have to keep my main desktop tied up with it. I’ve run AOE2 and classic Battlefront on it aswell, I can also use it as a video call machine with discord. It really runs amazingly.

To keep it cool, I’ve got a salvaged 12v Xbox One S fan running full bore on it 24/7. It’s a little loud, but I don’t mind it.…
