Their firmware isn't opensource. At least not fully. Only the EC firmware has been opensourced, that is the firmware for the micro-controller responsible for the battery, keyboard, buttons, LEDs, sensors, and so on...

The boot firmware, responsible for getting the CPU and hardware in a bootable state, is absolutely proprietary. There is initial support for one specific framework motherboard in coreboot, a partially libre boot firmware, but it's very new and I don't know exactly what is and isn't supported...

Heh made me chuckle

TheyCallMeHacked ,

Yeah same, although I just say the entire word

TheyCallMeHacked ,

That was a fantastic read. Highly recommend (despite old site)

TheyCallMeHacked ,

No. Most people mean PostmarketOS, which is Busybox/musl/Linux

TheyCallMeHacked ,

Sure, but PMOS is by far the most complete and "daily-ready" mobile mainline Linux distro out there. In fact I'm pretty sure both Mobian and MoA use the PMOS kernels...

TheyCallMeHacked ,

Fair but Ubuntu Touch is not mainline Linux. It's a hack to get a GNU/systemd Userland working with an Android kernel (which arguably is also a huge feat)

TheyCallMeHacked ,

realistic yet fantastical

So which is it then ?

TheyCallMeHacked ,

Well then he's neither: he's American. He lives in Dunthorpe, Oregon and has been naturalised American. That's all beyond the point: what people mean isn't his official citizenship, but his ethnicity, his cultural background. And in that regard, he's Swedish.

It's really a skill issue if replacing T by [T ] in your regexp is hard

I too am at a loss as to where the meme is
