PostmarketOS inches closer to letting you breathe new life into old phones

TL;DR: The postmarketOS Linux distribution is far from being usable as day to day OS. But instead of just a demo interface, which was not suitable for mobile devices, it runs KDE's Plasma Mobile, LuneOS UI (remember WebOS?), Hildon (remember Maemo?), Gnome 3 and XFCE4 on real devices now. The development process has been improved, so it's even more fun to contribute to this (when viewed from the inside) amazingly fast progressing project.

There's also the official blog post, which is kind of a long read. But it talks about the progress that has been made in detail and with lots of photos and some artwork: https://postmarketos.org/blog/2017/12/31/219-days-of-postmar...

In case you're wondering about the strange title ("219 days of postmarketOS", this comes from the previous articles starting with "100 days of" and "50 days of"). We decided to post some time after the 200th day, because wanted to provide a better experience for the people who join the development, instead of having something half baked, just to make a certain date.
