I was hoping that there would be a reasonably rock solid "feature phone" platform we could start building from, but it seems everybody wants to scale down the full linux desktop.
I just want a feature phone with a browser.
I would even be keen to see KiaOS running on it, but I don't think you can right now.
- linmob 6y agoIf you want to, you can have that; just take postmarketOSs new stable release when it's out with your prefered mobile shell and put the bare minimum of apps you want/need on there and you'll be set. As for KaiOS, I doubt we'll see that soon, as IIRC like FirefoxOS it's designed to run on Android kernels. With GloDroid being mostly dormant and incomplete, I doubt we can pull that off.
- jay_kyburz 6y agoThanks. I will try that!
- jay_kyburz 6y agoUpdate: Hold on, I thought it's the shells that are the problem. They are trying to do too much at once and doing it badly as a result.
- snvzz 6y agoLinux isn't all that will run on these. Genode is working on a port. I'd gladly run seL4 instead of Linux.
