Which applications are still good and usable on the N900 in 2023?

Is there a way to get Telegram running? Is there a good maps application? Is there a working way of getting weather forecasts?

What kind of changes are helpful for still getting the most out of the device?

Is it actually recommended nowadays to use CSSU-testing and Extras-testing?

CSSU testing yes. But are you gonna use it now for calls also? If not, try Leste.

Is Leste really that good already? If it is really only about calls, I think they will introduce their call ui with chimeara which is supposed to be released this month.

Not that good actually. Just installed yesterday. If it is the latest I get the feeling it is much slower than previous images. So still some work.

Yeah, I just tried it as well. I remember it being smoother earlier too.

Can I switch to CSSU devel by just enabling the repo in HAM or is there something I have to be aware of for switching from stable to devel?

With devel do not do apt upgrade. On the forum there is my thread devel upgrades. Check it. And if I recall right when you enable the devel repo you will get to application manager the cssu devel as a choice to install on the apps list.

If Pinephone + keyboard will reach one day a stable Leste version i will surely make it my daily driver. N900 still is an amazing and beatiful device but is becoming limited each year
