We should push other phone OEM's such as Fairphone and Samsung to work with PostmarketOS, GrapheneOS, and Ubuntu Touch (www.extremetech.com)

OEM's

Or just OEMs, even.

Ya. Short term Motorola for Graphene, long term any that support postmarketos

Fairphone has their own with /e/OS

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I owned a fairphone with e/os but what murena does feels a bit overbearing so i would be really happy about more support for other choices (also im planning/hoping to use the old phone as a small server after putting some linux on it and removing the unneccesarry hardware after setup wich would be greatly helped with proper support)

So yes: they have their own

But: options

I'm posting this reply from FP6 /e/OS. I have no complaints. I think experience can vary depending on the apps ecosystem that one is part of.

Same and well, government & banking apps dont work. And there are sometimes other quirks with apps, so its not painless, but for the most part it's okay.

Switching my fairphone to e/os today

The short term is forked android. The long term is a Linux distribution, new or otherwise. It doesn't seem reasonable to assume that the proprietary blobs in Android will get reverse engineered.

The Free Software Foundation is actively working on this (reverse-engineering Android proprietary blobs, see Librephone project). It hasn't even been a year yet since they began, but I'm rooting for them.

Has anyone heard word if Moto is still planning on rolling out flagship phones with e/OS by 2027 still?

I'm not buying another phone until there's one with no Android in it that appeals to my needs.
