New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made.  

> Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos. It also means developers can reproduce the exact state of a user's device, making it much easier to track down and fix issues.

Introducing Duranium: a more reliable postmarketOS

Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

postmarketOS

@postmarketOS is there a guide to go from stock android fairphone 5 without unlocked bootloader to duranium? i tried to do it by combining the wiki pages of the fp5 and trying to install regular pm edge first but even while using what i assumed to be a safe way to do it using ubports, i bricked my phone in the process (apparently very easy to do on fairphone 5)

i‘d love to try again but it’s not really sustainable to send the phone to france for repair again if i brick it again, so i would benefit greatly from one install guide from start to finish
