A notable mention is https://ubports.com/en/ which is different from postmarketos in a sense that ubports uses old kernels with heavy patches. That means: good support for things, but difficult future.

PostmarketOS uses the newest kernels and tries to integrate their patches into mainline kernel, so that the reliability is maintained with all kernel developers.

The only thing that is lacking for compatibility is drivers. If that's what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that's not what you meant then you don't know what you're talking about.

If the hardware doesn't have drivers then it's incompatible 🤷

You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

Explain how I'm wrong or go away. Your unwarranted personal insults are not welcome.

[-] Feyd@programming.dev 12 points 3 weeks ago

EZ. Your original totally incorrect comment that you're trying to pretend didn't mean what it obviously meant.

You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

You don't have to design hardware you have to write drivers.

It's OK to admit you're wrong.

I'm not pretending anything. And I'm not gonna continue engaging with you with this completely unnecessary tone. You don't know what you're talking about. Goodbye.

If you're so sensitive to being corrected the easy way to avoid it is to simply not create misinformation in the first place.
