From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently saw a post from one of the PostmarketOS devs asking for someone to start maintaining the sdm845 out-of-tree fork of the kernel.
Post was on mastodon, but I can't find it right now.
But you could ask in the PostmarketOS support/dev chats on what they need help with.
Great - I'll head over there too.
Go to their GitHub and look at issues and their comments first.
