Hang on, as a Fairphone user, what’s PMOS in this context? I’ve been running e/OS because I got mine through Murena, but I’ve been in the market for even more de-Googled alternatives, since e/OS appears to be sort of the kiddy pool.
PMOS is PostmarketOS, it is a linux distribution for mobile devices.
e/OS is a fork of LineageOS bundled with MicroG.
the difference is that PostmarketOS runs mainline linux, while e/OS and LineageOS still run android.
while degoogled, android is in the end still controlled by google, and their game plan seems to be to shift as much from AOSP to google play services, which will make degoogled android harder and harder.
using mainline linux bypasses this entirely. with the bonus of being able to use all software of the linux ecosystem.

All the software of the Linux ecosystem with extremely poor mobile device compatibility design wise.
Thank you! I think we may have spoken on this once before, but I didn’t recognize the name. I am now following this effort with great interest.
