    Postmarket OS is getting there. It only runs at all on a couple dozen older phones. And they don’t currently have receive voice. But 2 months ago they didn’t have 4G data or send voice so…

    Oh, and battery life is not good.

    My next mobile device will likely be a small tablet running Linux and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

      Hopefully we can see more efforts at generalizing phone OSs so they work on most devices, similar to how we have laptops.

        Oh, the problem isn’t the OS’s. You can hardly get a phone that can have its bootloader unlocked these days.

        When they stop providing security for our flagship phones, if we could just install lineage or GOS on it, they wouldn’t get a new purchase out of us, and they’d also stop receiving all our data that they can sell…
