Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y'all are using and what your experience has been.

I just got myself a fairphone gen 6. I want to put postmarket OS on it, but had a kind of rough start. Haven't gotten it working yet :(

    eOS works great for me on my fairphone 5, I suspect the model 6 is similar. Just be VERY careful about the anti-rollback protection, read the install instructions carefully and follow them exactly. And don't use the easy installer, it can brick your phone.

    Postmarket OS isn't? Oh whoa, I just checked for myself, I had no idea, thought it was aosp too!

    Cool, thanks for the correction.
