The rationale is interesting. I'm glad they kept the logo as it's recycling ♻️

So, a phone that's still well in the support window of the original vendor plus probably years more via LineageOS. I don't see a ton of value in postmarketOS on the FP6.

Just in case, this is a Linux Phone forum. So the value is that, Naru is not android. Which matters when Google is incrementally releasing less and less of AOSP. But even then, you can still run Android inside Naru (and other Mobile Linux options) via Waydroid.

How dare they support a new phone! I want my money back!

Why is there no value in mobile linux on a modern phone?

Atleast for me the value for Nura (which im glad is why they dropped the old name) is that its mainline linux, not that the orginal vendor doesn't support it anymore.
