entirely depends on the phone and the setup you go with, postmarket is kinda more of a platform than a single specific OS, like if fedora made you choose one of their spins.

I've only used it on a pinephone (which isn't exactly the ideal hardware..) and my experience on that was that you could probably survive using it as a fancy feature phone.

See that's my gripe with Linux. I don't want a PDA, I can do all of that tinkering on PC.

uhhh.. yeah but even a laptop isn't portable enough to put in your pocket, lol. They also generally can't make phonecalls.

Thats why there are PDAs and Cyberdecks. Thats for that purpose. Cant make phone calls but its portable but for Linux mobile it should at least get that right.
