yes. Linux phone is mature with ubuntu touch (https://ubports.com/), even for calls. But, the difference to postmarketos is that ubuntu touch uses old linux kernel versions which are difficult to upgrade. postmarketos uses the newest kernel and develops drivers that go in the newest kernel. -> so postmarketos is future proof.
I run UT with Waydroid on my pixel 3a xl. For a 2019 phone it’s pretty good. Does what i need a phone to do, make/receive calls, wifi web surf. If it wasn’t for UT, i wouldn’t own a smart phone.
“It’s also worth noting that plenty of Purism users have reported that they haven’t received the company’s previous Librem 5 phone, several years after ordering it. That phone first started shipping in 2020, while users report that Purism isn’thonoringrefunds for these delayed orders or that the company is dragging its feet in this regard. So if it looks fishy and smells fishy, well, it must be a fish.”
In simple English, is this the early days of “Linux phone?”
