But not everything works. One user is regularly posting updates (I think in !linuxphones@lemmy.ca) about getting all devices of their FP to work. They are making progress but it’s still tedious work and if they ever lose interest or something happens to them it can be years until someone capable can pick up the torch.
i really hope fairphone themselves picks it up. it would be incredible of fp7 (or 8, give them time) could be 100% (or close) compatible with linux out of the box. even if it required closed source blobs for like the radios or whatever.
i put postmarket on my fp5 and it runs pretty damn well. with a little more polish it absolutly could be my daily driver. it is very close.
i know its a lot to hope for, but i think faiphone is in a unique position to do this if they ever decided to.
Man, I just want a pocketable device with Linux on it, with cell Bluetooth wifi gps antennas that can send and receive texts, calls and data. I don’t care about individual apps. If services can be reached via a browser, I’m good.
Good to know! I haven’t been able to try one yet, so I wasn’t sure.
