@oldperl @evacide which firmware, specifically would you put on it that is both free/open source and serviceable?

If it's google's default one, it's not really free. If it's PostmarketOS, it's not running on halfway current hardware (FP4 is the latest supported one, hardware from 2020 that wasn't exactly "good" at release)

Also with the track record that Fairphone has for security updates, I don't think this is a good suggestion for replacing a relatively secure iPhone, either?

@claudius @oldperl @evacide the kernel seems to be behind, yes. At least this is what I see in termux. I am not sure which abstractions it uses, though.

I am generally not a big fan of android and iOS, I am also considering trying #Sailfish or something else #Linux based (preferable with gnome). I'd use another phone for android / banking stuff then. If anyone knows a good source for #UX details where I could get some real impression of how good it would work, that would be awesome.

@claudius @oldperl @evacide there is a unofficial list of Operating Systems for all #Fairphone s maintained here: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/operating-systems-for-fairphones/11425

Summary for FP5: postmarketOS is still not there, it seems Sailfish is the only "pure" #Linux option? But at least there are multiple android options to choose from. Well. With Kiss launcher you get a decent experience on android.
