#postmarketOS is gonna be so awesome once you can actually factory reset your device. not for that logic alone but because of what it implies about the underlying system design
i've done this rant before but just consider how much more solid your system will be when all your changes are explicitly handled on top of the base system with robust mechanisms for testing system changes, being able to revert them back (at the bootloader level).
if we do this right, it should mean that once you install postmarketos on your Android device you should never have to interact with fastboot again, you'll always have a working system to jump back to with A/B updates (unless you really mess up).
The user benefits are awesome too (see Lennarts thread), but as a distro that encourages tinkerers im way more interested in all the ways we can make development easier whether you're working on the kernel, initramfs, middleware or UI and THIS is how we do it
