Thank you for the kind words.
Phone calls do not work yet, and since we get asked about this all the time, it is in the header of the homepage now - on every page.
> Is there a reference phone that I can be sure will work?
We have two featured devices on the homepage, the Google (LG) Nexus 5 and the Nokia N900. But even for those two we can't guarantee that they are always working, in fact with the Nexus 5 we have quite a lot of breakage lately with one of the reasons being a mesa update that broke the freedreno driver. For the PinePhone devkit we started publishing reference images, which you can expect to not have major issues such as not being able to boot (as mentioned in the blog post).
EDIT: and of course: contributions welcome! if you are passionate about getting phone calls working with let's say the N900 on postmarketOS and have some time to spare, and you are not afraid of learning something new and having a lot of fun in the process, then have at it. Especially with the N900, there is a lot of groundwork available to build upon.
- znpy 7y agoI came back after some hours and realised... postingg a truly open linux distro on mobile phones is basically like using linux on pcs in the later 90s or early 00s... I appreciate your work, truly.
