Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US
2 days ago by floofloof to c/technology
There's one dev who's been hard at work making postmarketOS work for FP6:
I thought Fairphone was one of the few supported phones. Perhaps I'm thinking of a different phone OS.
No I think you are thinking of calyx. Graphene repeatedly asserted that they won't support fairphone because of the slow update.
Buy a Pixel or wait for Motorola to release their GrapheneOS compatible smartphone.
I haven't heard of this. Looking into it there's at least a year wait. I'd consider it - though my Edge 2022 battery may not make it until then. Damn thing was crap from day 1.
Been burned too many times by Motorola. They always promise but I have rarely seen them deliver.
Graphene is only on pixels
Only because Pixels have met their hardware requirements. They are going to start working with Motorola now.
why not their /e/os?
From what I understand, the two OS are not aiming for the same objectives. /e/os is a degoogled OS and that's its main purpose. GrapheneOS is focused on hardening security on AOSP.
Why not posmarketOS?
You've got a month, FYI...
You either have to wait for Motorola or get a new Pixel.
It's never good enough
It doesn't sound possible on the FP6 or FP6+. But maybe in the future? If people keep asking them (politely!) they might consider adding support for the 7 or 8
