They are attempting to build a os for smartphones based on Alpine linux with the stated goal of supporting a 10 year life cycle. They have a limited list of devices they support but I have heard good things about them.




For an old device project of the sort the OP is asking about, there must be an OS that supports the old device, otherwise the device become a members the dreaded IoT botnets.

I really hope postmarketOS grows.


I wish my hardware would last that long. Two previous phones I bought have lasted less than 2 years.


If I can get 2 years out of a phone, I'm "happy" (it lasted longer than I expected it would).


Even just the shell. I could see a shell & keyboard making it to 10 years
