[$] PostmarketOS: Linux for phones and more

Wednesday July 3, 2024. 03:42 PM , from LWN.net
In 2016, Oliver Smith reached a point of frustration with the short
lifespan of updates for his Android phone. Taking matters into his own
hands, he began developing postmarketOS, a Linux distribution for
mobile phones. Eight years later, the core team and
trusted contributors have grown to twenty individuals, while the latest
release, v24.06,
now shows support for over 250 devices. Although postmarketOS isn't
usable as a day-to-day phone operating system on all of them, it can also enable repurposing devices into compact servers or kiosk machines.
