I own a #Jolla Phone 1 and #Intex Aqua Fish. Can I use it as a PostmarketOS Playground instead of buying a PinePhone Pro? Are the images save to flash and is the hardware good enougth to run #PostmarketOS?

    See the list of devices and their status here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

    The Jolla Phone has a port: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Jolla_Phone_(jolla-sbj)

    The Aqua Fish doesn’t have a port yet, so you’d need to create one (more work of course, but you can learn a lot about how things work if you are curious): https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device

    You can use either as playground for postmarketOS. But you won’t be able to use it as daily driver or in general have many features working compared to the devices in the “main” or “community” categories.

    Note that it’s only recommended to get the pinephone pro at this point if you want to develop for it, it doesn’t yet have as much working as the original pinephone.

    In general, if you’re a Linux enthusiast who likes to tinker around with this, go ahead! If you are looking for something that you can replace your Android/iPhone with without any effort, then this is not for you yet.
