Im hard at work doing that.
For everyone that asks what alternative there is: Im developing a fully workiny postmarketos build for the Fairphone 6, which is a modern phone unlike most linux supported phones, i regularly post my progress here if you're interested!
I've been eagerly following all your posts. I think Fariphone is a great target with a history of others choosing it as a phone series to support. Thank you for your service, might just end up getting one from your shop.
My biggest painpoint with transitioning from Android to Linux is no Bluetooth pass through to Waydroid, but that's a whole different thing.
Sorry to pry, are you working on this full time?
Might aswell be with the hours im working. (Currently 4 in the night here xd)
But no, im doing this beside my cybersecurity job.
I really wish i could do this full time, i hope once the shop opens i can get enough to live on.
