I want to donate to a linux phone. I believe in linux and I want a linux phone. Maybe we can use one in very few years as a normal daily driver. It’s getting closer and closer every month.
I want to donate that we get there sooner. But which project? I’m following postmarket but I’m not sure if they are the most promising. What’s your stance on this? To which project would you give your money to accellerate it?
You’re technically correct, because Lineage often has to bundle their own apps with AOSP along with a few tweaks.
However, the way you’re putting it is as if Google literally removes the backbone of Android in AOSP and serves you a shell. That is simply not the case. You don’t want to run Google’s proprietary software? You don’t get Google’s services.
That’s all there is to it. Running Lineage is perfectly fine on many devices with Google. The statement that Lineage doesn’t work on many devices is only true in America, in which case, blame your carriers.
