    the problem is firmware. the community has been porting postmarketos to android phones for years, there are a ton of phones where PmOS will boot but most things like camera, phone service or bluetooth won’t work because they are missing the firmware necessary.

      I didn’t get in the details. But, of course, a such regulation includes the availability of the firmware.

        It’d be one hell of a battle considering companies would probably just pull a Microsoft and release the specifications as horrendously as possibly so no one can use them but their army of devs
