Droidian on OnePlus 8!

Can you share a video so I can get an idea of how responsive it is?

What's the difference between droidian and mobian?

As far as I can tell, droidian uses the android kernel etc (like ubuntu touch) whereas mobian is closer to mainline linux
- What difference does that make? I had thought the android kernel was just the Linux kernel

How? Can it run other oneplus? I have a 6T and will want to try it out. Any help or suggestions would be helpful

The 6T specifically has a community image support, as described here
- Awesome, I will get into it. Thanks for the quick turnaround
For the 6T you can go straight to Mobian or PostmarletOS and ditch the android kernel!
- It's great if you want portable computer. But as smartphone, still no camera is a big downside :P.
- Also, full-blown NixOS is possible with custom partitioning and stuff

I love Gnome and would love a Linux phone, but sadly I hear they aren't as secure as Android, and security is important to me. I'm really curious how the experience is to use it though.

Android is Linux. It's all the stuff on top that makes it more secure - 90% of which is covered by flatpak + MAC.

Will it run on a 8t? Which instructions did you follow? I've one lying around and i'd love to test mobile Linux

I read on the droidian Matrix that the 8 and 8 pro were ported. You might ask there?

Also, no instructions. The droidian installer was pretty straightforward. Downgrade to the last Android 10 and run it.
- Why downgrade?
No available port for 8T yet.

I want to try and port my Zenfone 8 to droidian when I have the will to do it, unfortunately Asus has disabled bootloader unlocking over a year ago and we still have no word since other than "soon™️" every 3 months. A shame really because this phone has great support by 3rd party android Roms such as lineageos or omnirom

Ok now we want to see more

Hopefully GKI will help Linux development and we'll see more ports like that

GKI will still limit you to Google’s fork of the kernel
- No I meant that reverse engineering of it or something can help to make a universal Linux kernel or at least port some drivers which should simplify the development and increase the amount of supported devices

How did you take this picture?

I tried installing it on my Pixel 3a and it didn't boot
