Description:
In 2016, Oliver Smith reached a point of frustration with the short
lifespan of updates for his Android phone. Taking matters into his own
hands, he began developing postmarketOS , a Linux distribution for
mobile phones. Eight years later, the core team and
trusted contributors have grown to twenty individuals, while the latest
release, v24.06 ,
now shows support for over 250devices. Although postmarketOS isn't
usable as a day-to-day phone operating system on all of them, it can also 
enable repurposing devices into compact servers or kiosk machines.
