🤖 #Android Based:
🎖️Pros: Best app compatibility (Signal, Banking, Maps).
☔️Cons: Still tied to the Android ecosystem structure.

🐧 #Linux Based:
🎖️Pros: True freedom from Google. More secure code base.
☔️Cons: App compatibility is harder: use "Anbox" or "AlienDalvik" layers, or find native Linux apps.

So, if I get it correctly, the #LibrePhone project is basically a continuation of #ReplicantOS, right? In the sense of taking an existing version of #AOSP , then writing free substitute drivers for every non-free component. Would this help a project like #PostmarketOS to build a fully free phone?

@lukasrotermund @patrickleavy well completely free (as in libre software) postmarket OS is not too different to an android derivative (i.e. #lineageos ): drivers, vendor firmware, etc.

The only 'completely free' alternative is #replicantOS (https://replicant.us) (perhaps #mobian too? Using #linuxlibre ? I dont know)

Simply for commenting 
Cheers!

@Jkp @fitheach Thank you for your reply. I have also been trying to extend the life of hardware for some years now. I have previously been using #ReplicantOS, #lineageos and #Calyx. Currently, I am on the same Xperia device as you. I am content with it except for short battery life and a somewhat glitchy #Androidappsupport experience.

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live:

* #Nextcloud store shenanigans
* #Cheogram in Space-s
* #DeltaChat and #ArcaneChat fork
* #FluffyChat feature full
* #Tachiyomi successor #Kahon
* #Inure #reproducible
* #PasswordStore fork
* #ReplicantOS and #NGI
* #NewPipe out of the 360p jail
+ 12 new apps
+ 195 updates

@fsfe please don't forget than you can totally free your phones from the android botnet by installing a #linuxmobile distribution such as @postmarketOS !

Maybe #ReplicantOS could be used in #waydroid for an emulation layer ?

✅Want to full control your device?
✅Want to extend its usage lifetime?
You can install a #FreeSoftware operating system! 💥
