I'm sure he did. It is mentioned in TFA.

The author mentions this in the second paragraph...

He did:

"The mobile linux space isn't exactly looking good right now, but it holds some promise. Ubuntu Touch managed to survive being abandoned by Canonical, and postmarket is still seeing good development even if not having great hardware adapation at the moment."

Number of devices fully supported: 0

Oh, you linked to Fairphone 4, let's see:

- battery: partial

- audio: partial

- camera: partial

- fingerprint: broken

postmarketOS device support is a joke, they couldn't even get ONE vendor to support the OS..

I'd say the OnePlus 6 is fully supported so it's one device at least (the stuff that isn't on it is minor).

Mainlining is very hard though so the results are expected

I can confirm this holding OP6 (enchilada) in my hands — it's a flagship postmarketOS device. It also has other nerd options available — Sailfish and Windows (Renegade Project) — but obviously with poor hardware support.

I highly recommend keeping an eye on postmarketOS blog. [1] It's a fun reading, and development's been really rapid lately.

What stopped me from full migration to pmOS the last time I tried it about a year ago was poor support of Magisk and Xposed in Waydroid, two things I can't imagine using Android apps without.

But! With some tricks you can get pmOS dualboot on OP6. [2] Haven't tried it, but looks amazing.

I think with the current direction and velocity, pmOS is going to get really close to Android in usability on supported hardware in the next couple of years. Except for power saving parity that never gonna happen.

		You misunderstood my comment.. this level of "support" is based on hacks = volunteer work, where the community working together (for free) is able to support one device "almost" completely after only 8 years, relying on hacks/reverse engineering etc.. But it's not like OnePlus or Qualcomm officially supports that, right? They didn't have any deal with any OEM where there would be someone employed to support the OS.. (even though they receive donations) Like, all this is.. not serious.. the closest alternative to Android/iOS is GrapheneOS, because there are full-time employees AND they have a partnership with Motorola, so they won't have to rely on any hacks.. well obviously that's unaffordable but it's a different story.
