New financed postmarketOS project: q6voice(d)

I'm really rooting for Linux phones
It took me a while to stop reading financed as: finance daemon.
After trying to run postmarketos on an old phone of mine, I'm really excited for anything that improves support for android devices to mainline linux !
It’s kinda hard to accept they are debuting paid work on something that only works on pre-2022 devices... I do understand the recycling idea behind this, but next time I change my phone and look up for a linux compatible phone, I already know I won’t be buying a pre-2022 device :(..
perhaps there are markets where this is much more common than we are used to.
There are more recent devices (ie Fairphone 5) that seem to be pretty good spot (check the wiki, and regardless this is a really good phone to get) But I get your point.

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.
