       @WeAreFairphone wait what? FairPhone Kernel open source? Does this mean this device could actually be mainlined and run @postmarketOS , @mobian , @ManjaroARM or @plasmamobile ? This would be more than amazing. #linuxphone

       @dukethereal @WeAreFairphone I don't think you understand, manufacturers _have_ to share their kernel sources as they are bound by the GPL. However that almost always is a downstream kernel which has diverged _a lot_ from mainline, which is the main issue here.Luckily the Fairphone 4 actually runs partially on mainline Linux, and that is what @z3ntu has made work on #postmarketOS
