>postmarketOS is a good example of this - despite years of tireless work, it's just really hard to get a regular distro working on a phone without leveraging Android drivers, at least for now.
Does this mean you are not working on mainlining this device? I'll take the slow and steady pmOS approach over sketchy Android shims. That's what ruined the Planet Computers Gemini PDA for me. A temporary solution is often surprisingly permanent.
We are not actively working on it, although some work has been done in that direction as a weekend project. It's not something we are ruling out, but we want to focus on delivering something that works, and works well. If the product does well enough to be able to finance continued effort in that direction, and there aren't any "massive" issues to work on before that, then... I guess it might just happen. Hard to tell right now.
