      I’m trying to install it on my Nexus 7, and having a tough time. I’d like to know how you make out.

              Been following the wiki, but when I try to flash for root partition, I get “data too large” . I’ve tried to wipe everything with TWRP, but it still shows the same error. Not sure how to proceed next.

                You probably need a repartition. Can’t link right now but check for “Nexus 7 flox repartition”, assuming yours is 2013 Wi-Fi edition (code name flo).

    I run it on my second phone, a OP6T. GNOME on mobile has improved a lot. The framerate is higher and the keyboard is more consistent. Auto rotate now works. I still wouldn’t use it as my daily driver though since the camera still doesn’t work, voice input with pipewire is very wonky and it still crashes every now and then. Random touch input bugs happen twice a day too, forcing me to reboot. It got so far but it still has a bit left to go.

    I happen to have a Fairphone 4. It’s listed as supported, but not with all its features.

    Anyone here tried PostmarketOS on Fairphone 4?

      I have! I tried it over a year ago, and LTE wasn’t working so I gave up. According to this it’s still not functioning :( https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_4_(fairphone-fp4)

    Flashing Lenovo A6000 failed when I did it about a year ago.

    Bricked the phone, didn’t manage to fix it even with Qualcomm tools.

    Wasn’t worth pursuing further to me back then. Would love to know if someone succeeded!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
