Is PureOS compatible with any other phone besides Librem?
- fsflover 5y agoOnly smartphones which provide good, open documentation and specs can run alternative OSes. Pinephone is the only such smarptphone apart from Librem 5, and it can run PureOS: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9361 https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9361.
- thereddaikon 5y agoAnd while I've yet to see anyone with a librem 5 other than journalists and youtubers my pinephone arrived last year when they said it would. It ain't perfect but its a real product.
- fsflover 5y agoYes, they definitely have problems with the phone's supply chain: https://puri.sm/posts/the-ball-and-supply-chain/ https://puri.sm/posts/the-ball-and-supply-chain/.
- ryukafalz 5y agoNot itself, no - but Mobian is compatible with other similarly open phones (so basically the PinePhone and a few others) and runs essentially the same software: https://mobian-project.org/ https://mobian-project.org/ For other Android phones there's Droidian which is downstream of Mobian; I've not used it myself though so can't speak to its current state: https://droidian.org/ https://droidian.org/
- seba_dos1 5y agoThe only phone officially supported by PureOS is Librem 5. There were also people adapting it to PinePhone unofficially.
