I want to donate to a linux phone. I believe in linux and I want a linux phone. Maybe we can use one in very few years as a normal daily driver. It’s getting closer and closer every month.

I want to donate that we get there sooner. But which project? I’m following postmarket but I’m not sure if they are the most promising. What’s your stance on this? To which project would you give your money to accellerate it?

Edit: I don’t want to buy a phone. I want to support the phone os devs. Sorry for the bad wording.

    Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.

        There is no freedom in his code licensing

        Evidence required.

        Most of them grant infinite freedom, with one requirement. (Not restrictive like *GPL.)

        Others like vanadium are restrictive under GPL

        You guys should not listen to TheAnonymouseJoker, this is the evidence of him spreading misinformation.

        Edit: since this clown calls me “misinformation” spreader and asks for evidence, it is easy to look at one of the two long investigation articles I wrote, in which in share DivestOS XMPP room chat logs with Micay bullying DivestOS dev into banning me otherwise he will initiate a harassment campaign on social media against him.

        Don’t think that’s related

        Similar stuff was done (calling neonazi in issue tracker) against Bromite project that used what should be open sourced code, but is not.

        https://twitter.com/GrapheneOS/status/1537851090514890752

        That’s personal emotion against bromite and lead to unacceptable wording. But Micay can’t force others to remove their code if they do not violate it. nevertheless, Vanadium code is free in Linux communities’ opinion, right?? (I’d not consider that since it is GPL)

        simply: The license of vanadium is still gpl and is it free in your opinion?
