Short answer: no.
Long answer: Linux phones aren't ready in 2025.
Judging from the video thumbnail, I'm going to guess this youtuber says no, they aren't.
Why is half the video some shitty machine generated song?
Nope
It took me a while to find, but the newest, best supported phones on the device list are
- PINE64 PinePhone Pro (2021)
- Fairphone 4 (2021) (partial call support)
- PINE64 PinePhone (2020)
- Purism Librem 5 (2020)
- SHIFT SHIFT6mq (2020)
The pixel 3a is not well supported and has problems with wifi, battery, audio, camera, calls, and NFC, so IMO don't base your impression of PostmarketOS on the pixel3a.
I had no idea there are people who pronounce Godot as "go-dot." I will never be able to unhear this.
I've always said "god-oh" with a silent 't' like in "Brigitte Bardot".
Probably because of misunderstanding the project, and thinking it has something to do with Go (the language). Or, maybe not. But programmers can be really uncreative when naming projects; <language><function> is a pretty common naming scheme.
“Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”
Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.
Sailfish. (Haven’t watched video)
I don't this that's foss but I could be mistaken.
You may be correct. However, the question said “Linux phones”. Sailfish is Linux and it runs on phones.
No love for the FuriLabs project?
Never heard of FuriLabs, looks really cool. How open is the OS/hardware? Could be my next phone... though I'd love to see an immutable approach so I can't be left with a broken system after an update.
