    “Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”

    Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.

    It took me a while to find, but the newest, best supported phones on the device list are

    • PINE64 PinePhone Pro (2021)
    • Fairphone 4 (2021) (partial call support)
    • PINE64 PinePhone (2020)
    • Purism Librem 5 (2020)
    • SHIFT SHIFT6mq (2020)

    The pixel 3a is not well supported and has problems with wifi, battery, audio, camera, calls, and NFC, so IMO don’t base your impression of PostmarketOS on the pixel3a.

    I had no idea there are people who pronounce Godot as “go-dot.” I will never be able to unhear this.

    I’ve always said “god-oh” with a silent ‘t’ like in “Brigitte Bardot”.
