I want to donate to a linux phone. I believe in linux and I want a linux phone. Maybe we can use one in very few years as a normal daily driver. It’s getting closer and closer every month.

I want to donate that we get there sooner. But which project? I’m following postmarket but I’m not sure if they are the most promising. What’s your stance on this? To which project would you give your money to accellerate it?

Edit: I don’t want to buy a phone. I want to support the phone os devs. Sorry for the bad wording.

    Android is Linux.

    It runs Linux but it isn’t a “Linux phone” in the sense used here.

      Yes I know but the Term is simply incorrect. I dont have a better one though.

      And even though I am excited to use some Linux Distro on a phone I own, it will be way worse in stability, security and crucial app support than Android / GrapheneOS.

        I just say non-Android Linux systems. GNU/Linux if I’m talking about that type of system, but there are some like postmarketOS that are strictly not in that group (it’s based on Alpine)

          Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.

          edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.
