It is so cool!
I am by no means an expert in those things but I got a linux OS running on a new smartphone.
This is a Fairphone 6 running PostmarketOS with Phosh and I love it.
Thank you @postmarketOS @phosh for all the great work.
This post was sent from the fairphone with @Tuba 🥳
A really great software for the fediverse even on a small mobile screen.

Where do you get this HW/SW combination?
I'm running FP3 with LOS on, but after the life cycle I'd like to move to Linux. @postmarketOS @phosh @ @ @norbert

Thanks. Is there a useable HowTo?
@lassegismo there is a good guide from the fairphone people to unlock the bootloader:
https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/10492476238865-Manage-the-Bootloader
It works like a charm for me.
There is another guide from fairphone about manually installing android: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/18896094650513-How-to-manually-install-Android-on-your-Fairphone
Helpful information about flashing a phone in gerneral..
For postmarketOS the wiki is a great place. There is a short guide for the Fairphone 6 but not that easy if you got no experience with flashing phones just like me: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_(Gen._6)_(fairphone-fp6)
In the general install guide is a lot more information: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation
