Since I’m going to switch to Linux Mobile soon after Android gets locked down, I was also considering getting involved in developing software for it since I imagine one major problem is the lack of support. However, I’m not sure which distro to daily drive or develop for, so I was curious what the community thinks.

    Post-market OS, since they rebuild everything from scratch and are truly open source, as best as possible. Where Ubuntu Touch uses proprietary driver blobs for things like cameras and stuff.

    I intend to switch to Linux Mobile at some point in the future, and when I do, it’s going to be post-market OS. I’ve already made that decision.

    Ubuntu Touch is the easiest to just get a working phone with, because it uses the Android kernel that ships with the device, but I absolutely like the flexibility in desktop environment, and availability of flatpak apps on postmarketOS. I honestly can’t wait until I can switch full-time to postmarketos.

    I would much rather have more software developed for postmarketos
