Within that day, @wrenix submitted a pmOS patch and 3 separate people already approved it (with Luca not even being one of them).

@FestplattenSchnitzel even ported the fix to the FP4 and tested it.

PostmarketOS might not be able to win me over from Arch with their software, but the community they managed to build is impressive.

The part which is a little bit better in alpine/PostmarketOS (and maybe Debian based) agains Arch, that the packages for all the CPU architecture are compiled by one (alpine,Debian) project. On ArchLinux it is a mass to decide between archlinuxarm and manjaro and for the different devices sub/private project. Just because archlinux itself compiles just against x86_64 (and not for arm).

Second reason against Arch is, that you could only use an bleeding-edge version, which breaks sometimes (because there is "no stable" version).

It would be so much more work if pmos was based on Debian/Fedora instead.

As for postmarketOS custom software, they should be completely distro-agnostic, so they should be able to run on Arch for example, or Debian/Mobian (and indeed, a bunch of pmOS software is packaged and used in Mobian).

Anything pmos can do, Arch can do better.

The only thing pmos has going for it is out-of-box experience, which is not something I care about. I can build my own packages.

I feel kinda the same way about Arch. I'll probably never use it, but that wiki of theirs is an incredible gift to the world.

But covering the devices that are popular still sounds like a good idea to me. I have read a bit about this Kupfer thing and it does not really call me. Too technical, too complicated. Your builder is imho the perfect balance.

The purpose of my repos was originally just to ship my own software while it wasn't packaged yet.

DanctNIX and Kupfer both actually *want* to make this happen, so I think it would be better to try and standardize on one of those. Unfortunately their maintenance isn't particularly active.

Yes we love the idea of #fairphone and the Hardware of #FP5 is still really fancy.

And the project of #postmarketOS is also really cool, starting with the #gitlab and all the CI for multi arch.
