I had a dream that I own a FP5 running Plasma Mobile [1]. Then I woke up and realized this is the real world and in the real world we can't have Good Things. [

  (Warning: link hijacks back button.) Why can't you run that on the FP5? Claim not found in source.

    what do you mean by "hijacks back button"? Works as it should on my end

    Well in theory you can or will be able soon [1] (there is commmunity support for FP4). But I don't want a device to tinker with. I want a reliable daily driver that is sustainable (repairable/replaceable), privacy focused, based on linux open source (convergent) and long-term supported by a well run entity.

      Edit: apparently they got the FP5 early and that's already got better support than the FP4 https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5) https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp... via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37320861 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37320861 </edit> Wait, what does an "N" column mean? Surely basics like the battery, audio, camera, and GPS don't not work at all. If that's what this means, yeah I get that nobody should want to run that on this device. That's quite disappointing, but with the low volumes that FP is able to ship, I guess the volunteers on postmarket have to make choices Edit: five tables further down, there's a legend. Indeed, battery etc. is not just not tested or something, but actually tested not working. Weird, you'd think the battery works regardless of what software it runs o.O
