Starting September 30th, there’s going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.

In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?

    I think they ought to put up a list somewhere of the newest devices they support with at least decent support such as your standard calling, texting, media, etc.

    pmOS does have a list of supported devices, and for the list labeled “main” support, it’s empty, as they do not deem any if their currently supported devices (in the “community” or “testing” sections) to be usable/stable enough for daily use for the average person. Of the supported devices, it’s clearly labeled what does and doesn’t work for each device

    Other spins like Mobian and Ubuntu Touch have similar pages too!

      Note that the list is not to date though. (I get a bootloop on a device that should mostly work)

        If you do find any issues with the wiki, make sure to report it on the Matrix server! When I had an issue with an instruction on the wiki, it turned out it was a workaround that was never supposed to be done by normal people (installing edge kernel on stable installation), and the wiki was edited nearly instantly! Really cool actually…
