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?

Edit: I don’t want to buy a phone. I want to support the phone os devs. Sorry for the bad wording.

    Been daily driving SailfishOS for absolutely years. Originally ran it on a Nexus 4! It’s by far the most polished not-Android/iOS phone OS going right now.

      Is sailfish OS on a libre software license?

        Yes and no. The core of the OS is opensource, but the UI is proprietary. At least last time I checked.

        No. The bits that make it Sailfish, the UI, are proprietary.

          Then I guess I would not put muy 5 cents there.
