La malgranda feneko volas dormetiWhat's the go-to these days for a non vender android to put on devices? I've got a Samsung SM-T580 (Tab A 2016 model) that I've found myself thinking could be more useful if wiped and Termux installed.
Okay, quick check suggests LineageOS is the current big non-vender Android but that I could also just ditch Android and use PostmarketOS to run a version of Alpine Linux on it. I'll have to dig more. Any opinions out there in the benevolent hivemind? #lineageos #postmarketos
Lexxy 🦊@LilFluff I use some kinda thingy that might be PostmarketOS/Alpine/GNU/Linux on my phone. It exists. I can use it to web, email, chat, SMS, telecom, and *nix things. For me it was infinitely easier to install than a working LineageOS (installs were on different devices, each device was designed for the OS), but I do have more experience installing GNU/Linux than Android/Linux so I might be a bit biased.

Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️I run #LineageOS on one phone and #PostmarketOS on another and use both.
It all depends on what you want to do. PM is much better for playing with the new, unstable #LinuxMobile hotness, but I only get a 1-2 hours active use battery (though it suspends for ages). Camera is usable, but low quality enough that you won't be sharing pix with friends + family.
Lineage is a pain to flash, with good battery life and access to most apps, but you're essentially still buying into #Android. 🤮
LovePoison@LilFluff I always say the same... but I run a Oneplus 6 with a dualboot of LineageOS and Droidian (downstream mainly because of the camera) and leave my mainline tasks elsewhere for now
