      They definitely exist, and there is progress, but even in the best case scenario, you’re far from being able to comfortably daily one. postmarketOS is probably the most consistently updated project at this time

      I used to love Sailfish OS.

      I guess I still do, but the problem is that while they recently expanded amount of devices they support, for some of them the “support” is just not what you think. Eg. I got Xperia 10 V just for the SFOS, but even though on their main list the device is listed as supported, turns out that camera, Android support and fingerprint sensor, these don’t work. To be fair, this info was possible to find on their forums, and I did not have to pay for SFOS (they offer 6 month trial), so they have nothing to gain from communicating so badly, but it is what it is.

      So in case you want to try it, just really make sure you know to what extent your device is supported.
