This is great news. While I still think we should make a push towards Linux phones being mainstream so that we don’t keep this duopoly on OSes, it’s nice to know that at least one manufacturer is currently defying googles obvious goal of suppressing third party ROMs and marketplaces.

Thanks for the reality check. While this a good development, I share your concern and we should not stop,or even slow, developing any fully free as in freedom OS. I tried PostmarketOS on an old Oneplus 6T recently and I estimate we have one or two more phone replacement cycles until I think it'll be ready for me to switch.

I have a 6T and was thinking about getting postmarketos on it, what didn't work for you? Which "desktop" did you choose for it? there's like 5 options for that and I really have no idea what to do.

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I used KDE because that's what I use on desktop. I hear some of the others are further along. Flashing was easy. I could not set up my SMB shares in dolphin and if it wont talk to my NAS, it's not terribly useful to me. I will play around some more with it sooner or later. I believe I used Android- tools on Linux to send the partitions via fastboot commands. It was a 2 gen old phone for me (had the OP9 after it) so I wasn't worried about anything going wrong. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you get stuck and have a specific question. I will try to help.

Volla phone (has choice between ubuntu touch and android rom) seems pretty cool.
