About:
From postmarketos.org
We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!

Supported Devices:
From wiki.postmarketos.org

Main
These are the most supported devices, maintained by at least 2 people and have the functions you expect from the device running its normal OS, such as calling on a phone, working audio, and a functional UI.

Top choice devices ⭐
Devices of the following three categories are the ones most likely to satisfy your needs over an extended period.

Commercial maintainers
Companies like Volla, FXP and Fairphone offer compatible Ubuntu Phones as part of their business. Their reputation rests on preventing any major problems and taking a long view. Some devices can even be bought with Ubuntu Touch already installed!

Porters with a track record
Some porters have built a reputation for long term commitment and competence.

Ubuntu Touch Edition
If you have one of the older devices, they are solid for now. Many in our community use them but technical difficulties in updating and closed source elements which we can’t access mean that those devices are not a good choice for anyone just starting with UT. They are also getting aged now and experience hardware faults.

If you manage to grab a new generation Ubuntu Touch Edition device like the PinePhone Pro or a Volla phone, that will be supported for much longer of course.

Nice, thanks! I think it is about time to start comparing phones, buy a most versatile one and actually get started...

PS: After wildly clicking around I stumbled onto this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_mobile_phones
Thanks for the information! If you are planning to buy a Linux-based phone just remember that their biggest weakness right now is lack of apps, although many phones, including some on my above post, are capable of running Android and Linux.

I added the Fairphone 4 and finished the "Supported Operating Systems" part of all the devices. I might add the Fairphone 3 and 3+ as well. Also, I'm still dragging my feet on updating the postmarketOS tables. Maybe tomorrow. :)

    About:
    From postmarketos.org
    We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!

    Devices that have had a lot of work put into them, where regressions are actively fixed, and the port is overall in a pretty good shape.

    Top choice devices ⭐
    Devices of the following three categories are the ones most likely to satisfy your needs over an extended period.

    Commercial maintainers
    Companies like Volla, FXP and Fairphone offer compatible Ubuntu Phones as part of their business. Their reputation rests on preventing any major problems and taking a long view. Some devices can even be bought with Ubuntu Touch already installed!

    Porters with a track record
    Some porters have built a reputation for long term commitment and competence.

    Ubuntu Touch Edition
    If you have one of the older devices, they are solid for now. Many in our community use them but technical difficulties in updating and closed source elements which we can’t access mean that those devices are not a good choice for anyone just starting with UT. They are also getting aged now and experience hardware faults.

    If you manage to grab a new generation Ubuntu Touch Edition device like the PinePhone Pro or a Volla phone, that will be supported for much longer of course.

    Nice, thanks! I think it is about time to start comparing phones, buy a most versatile one and actually get started...

    Thanks for the information! If you are planning to buy a Linux-based phone just remember that their biggest weakness right now is lack of apps, although many phones, including some on my above post, are capable of running Android and Linux.

    I finished adding the Devices to the Ubuntu Touch section, and am thinking of adding more devices and expanding device information. Still looking for some popular open-source mobile Linux apps - any suggestions?

    I added the Fairphone 4 and finished the "Supported Operating Systems" part of all the devices. I might add the Fairphone 3 and 3+ as well. Also, I'm still dragging my feet on updating the postmarketOS tables. Maybe tomorrow. :)
