D'hoe...posted on the wrong topic...my bad.
Strictly-speaking, the community sidebar doesn't define what "Linux-based" is, and I suppose that someone could not-unreasonably expect "Linux phones" to include Android rather than just GNU/Linux-based phones.
There’s a section with a list of linux mobile distros on the sidebar.
My only problem with WiFi on my pixel 8 is that if I leave my house and come back, I have to manually connect to my home wifi almost every single time; it won't auto-connect for some reason.
Try toggling auto connect for specifically that network on and off. There's a network that I had set to not auto connect, but sometimes it'd show it as on despite being off
What are you running on yours? I was going to switch mine to Grapene but I have that awesome pink line in the screen and a repair is more than 50% of a new phone.
The latest Grapheme...
I had a green line on my screen. There is a problem with early pixel 8 / 8 pro screens and there is an extended warranty where they will replace it free. I don't even think you need to be the original owner.

Mine took about a week after I filled out the paperwork and was approved. I got back my original phone with a new screen on it, same IMEI etc.
