PostmarketOS has a list of officially supported devices. Sadly that list is empty. We can wait but it's not going to happen by itself. Maybe everyone interested could fund a dev working on getting one device to be officially supported? I don't know if that would be welcome by the project. My point is, with the current pace, is the goal moving closer or further away?
Fund a dev, volunteer time, and devs need to drop iOS and Android projects and focus on this.
