imagine doing a talk on bringing mainline linux to a phone and then being like "okay btw almost none of the hardware actually works"

like, this is always the thing that gets me about stuff like pmOS. all these phones get ported to run pmOS, but then they can't make phone calls, thus defeating the point.

@ariadne #PinePhone daily driving here with #PostmarketOs stable and #Phosh Calls, texts and data working perfectly (also with @biktorgj modem firmware)

@vmaurin @biktorgj i’m not talking about the pinephone, i’m talking about the ports

@ariadne

I would consider the pmos ports as work in progress.

Same way that any effort to bring mainline linux support for to a device that was not designed with mainline linux in mind.

It will take time to make stuff work.

Heck even phones designed with mainline linux in mind, (pinephone, librem5) needed hardware enablement work first. And getting calls to work.

So I see such presentations on bringing mainline support to devices as work in progress.
