A notable mention is https://ubports.com/en/ which is different from postmarketos in a sense that ubports uses old kernels with heavy patches. That means: good support for things, but difficult future.

PostmarketOS uses the newest kernels and tries to integrate their patches into mainline kernel, so that the reliability is maintained with all kernel developers.

    The only thing that is lacking for compatibility is drivers. If that’s what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that’s not what you meant then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

      I see that person everywhere. 2k comments in 3 months. They genuinely do not know much of anything. I tagged them as “bad faith actor/unintelligent”. Best to avoid engaging with them.

      If the hardware doesn’t have drivers then it’s incompatible 🤷

          Explain how I’m wrong or go away. Your unwarranted personal insults are not welcome.

            EZ. Your original totally incorrect comment that you’re trying to pretend didn’t mean what it obviously meant.

            You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

            You don’t have to design hardware you have to write drivers.

            It’s OK to admit you’re wrong.

              I’m not pretending anything. And I’m not gonna continue engaging with you with this completely unnecessary tone. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Goodbye.

                If you’re so sensitive to being corrected the easy way to avoid it is to simply not create misinformation in the first place.
