This is my third try with Linux on a phone, but I know this time will be better, buggier and more fun then last time. In the past I daily-drove Ubuntu Touch and came to dislike it somewhat. Don't get me wrong, I like, no love, the project BUT it's use of Halium as a stop-gap solution to get Linux running without all drivers ported makes it hard to use for me. Why? It makes it so, that, to some extend, you can not use normal Desktops and to some extend Apps. This can probably be overcome overtime, they did somewhat with (soon (TM) Wayland) Libertine and Snap. But to it is also NOT the project goal, the goal is a "User Friendly" OS like Android and not jank. This makes it so the keyboard is not usable without engaging the pipeline that only Libertine and Store apps can use/trigger by design.
At the end it is a me-issue. I want everything usable and I am ready for a lot of Jank and to code/script stuff myself, but this is not its goal of Ubuntu Touch and this is fine! BUT NOT SO WITH POSTMARKED OS! It is pure Linux, thanks to a porting of everything into the Kernel and/or system, this makes it far less usable because hardware functions are missing for long time for many device or will never work, code can not use access some thing in the hardware because of missing documentation and more. But some devices, soon the FP5 as well, are very well supported and are near fully functional when it comes to daily usability.
In this entry I will once again documentation everything I did to make it usable for myself. As last time I ALWAYS had a second fully functional, ready and online device on hand for emergency or PostmarkedOS has issues. THIS IS IMPORTANT! THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN AND YOU CAN NOT CALL SOMEONE!

As the title says, "(Soon TM)", this experiment will start at some point, but not now.
The Audio/Microphone suport is still in the works and while that is still broken they can not test LTE calling and switching.
Meaning, this entry will change later when these three things are fixed and I can actually try it!
I just needed a place to collect links and helpful stuff already for later!
Come back later!
