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.

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

    What makes you think that?

      I don’t know how to answer that. Because most hardware is not compatible.

        It isn’t fundamentally incompatible, there is just a lack of drivers.

        You don’t need new hardware, you need driver support.

          I think they meant you’d have to design a combination of hardware that’s all compatible with Linux - that is, that has Linux driver support.

          I’m not really so concerned with how it’s incompatible…

        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.

          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.
