    That’s cool and all but what’s the progress on PostmarketOS? what’s left that they need to implement? Also once the OS is fully complete then it should be much easier to port to other phones no? Just having to account for differences in architecture and software?

    You’ll probably run Android most of the time while on the go, but can launch Debian as an app for quickly pivoting to a new OS.

    If it’s that what they call Linux support, then fuck that.

        And it still would make most of it and provide good performance

      Just yesterday I learned about SailfishOS on the Jolla phone and I have to say I was pretty impressed. This is already much more useable then I thought. In optimistic we’ll have a great Linux phone in a couple of years.

        SailfishOS uses old kernels with SoC patches, those are Android kernels, support for it will never be longer than on Android.
