Just now? pmOS was probably the last popular mobile distro that didn't default to systemd yet.

It's also the only one that worked on first try on my OnePlus 6.

(For a certain value of "worked")

I don't think most other ones are viable outside of a Pinephone.

My OnePlus 6 running Kupfer (Arch Linux ARM) [0] and my Shift6mq running Mobian [1] (Debian blend) in dual boot from microSDXC card [2] would like to have a word. Droidian (Halium-based Debian) also supports the enchilada.[3]

And then, there's also NixOS mobile [4]. They all have had systemd before this.

Mobile NixOS is mostly dead. Last successful hydra build for op6 was in January 2023.

Bluetooth refused to turn on in mobian, I'm not sure why.
