[$] PostmarketOS: Linux for phones and more
In 2016, Oliver Smith reached a point of frustration with the shortlifespan of updates for his Android phone. Taking matters into his ownhands, he began developing postmarketOS, a Linux distribution formobile phones. Eight years later, the core team andtrusted contributors have grown to twenty individuals, while the latestrelease, v24.06,now shows support for over 250devices. Although postmarketOS isn'tusable as a day-to-day phone operating system on all of them, it can also enable repurposing devices into compact servers or kiosk machines.
