I wonder if @postmarketOS could pull off something like what @GrapheneOS is doing, where they get a phone maker to sell just one model of phone who's hardware is verified to work well with the operating system preinstalled.
This way, they have a single reference platform to target and some support for getting hardware working, even if only in the form of documentation. They also get some funding from purchases.
I mean, it's probably a bit "chicken and egg" as hardware makers need to see potential sales and potential sales come from users seeing a daily driveable end unit, but maybe, just maybe, something like this could be the next step after getting a single phone fully working.
