Really glad to see PostmarketOS becoming more viable as a daily driver - there are so many devices which should still work well, if not for Google making OS updates dependent on SoC vendors and carriers...
(e: yes I know there's Treble now but you'd really hope "multiple SPoFs who would all rather you bought the new phone" came up earlier as an issue with updating)
- Syonyk 3y ago> yes I know there's Treble now "This is the 7th time we've fixed the Android lack of updates issues, and we're getting exceedingly efficient at it!"
- mixmastamyk 3y agoWhat are the main differences between that and Mobian? I’d like to support one of these.
- strangecasts 3y agoAdmittedly not familiar with Mobian - I think the biggest differences are that postmarketOS is based on Alpine Linux (and musl in turn) and encourages porting to a wide variety of devices, while Mobian builds on Debian and attempts to provide more complete support for a smaller number of phones
