Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

Oh I'd love to dive into improving device support, but it is somehow quite frightening to me (and I'm otherwise an experienced dev).
- maybe consider doing smaller steps? joining the testing team, follow the explanations of people, maybe read megi's blog on pinephone driver development https://xnux.eu/log/index.html
  
  Thank you for the insight! I've added this to my rss flux.
  
  I have another more pragmatic problem : I don't know any way to use Whatsapp or Signal without an external android phone linked to it. I don't have the incentive to spend my time improving support if I know I could not use it in everyday life.
  
  EDIT : Thus said, I've just read the situation improved with Flare (client for Signal) and Whatsapp Web, which both doesn't require an active phone connection. Only at registration (which is still a problem).
I wish Postmarket OS would move to a immutable base. I want it to have strong security protections like Android

Cool project though
