PostmarketOS's new roadmap to fight e-waste

It&#x27;s basically: buy a new phone. These two phones, specifically (the pinephone and the librem 5 -- both not even available to the general public at the time of writing).<p>I view this as a complete failure of the project: to bring back old phones to an usable state.<p>I&#x27;ve always objected that postmarketOS, while great, fails at being real-world usable.<p>AFAIK, there currently is not a single phone which is 100% supported, and not a single phone that can make calls, send&#x2F;receive texts, and browse the internet.<p>You know, the things that you would use a phone for.<p>One of their flagship phones, the google nexus 5, only partially works and btw, last time I followed their installation instructions, it didn&#x27;t boot.<p>I still admire their accomplishments, but they failed to deliver on the original core idea.<p>I really hope that they manage to deliver... In the meantime, if you want to make calls, you&#x27;re stuck to regular phones.
