FOSS mobile OS PostmarketOS has been updated to version 24.06. This update brings newer versions of Plasma, Phosh, SXMO, and Gnome, adds the ability for for initramfs to export logs on boot failure, removed hardcoded dependency on PulseAudio in UI packages, updates to kernels and more. If you're to get rid of Android and run something closer to pure Linux this may be worth a look for you. It is also a great option if you have a Pine64 device such as the Pinephone, Pinebook Pro or RockPro 64. PostmarketOS is based off of Alpine, uses BusyBox for the init system and ext4 for the file system.

@publiclewdness tried gnome mobile shell and phosh edge postmarket os, still with issues experienced pureos with gnome 38 still in some ways works more completely (while significantly slower). e.g. postmarket os with phosh didnt mount my sdcard properly that is encrypted, with gnome mobile unlock after sleep doesnt work requiring reboot
