    Description:
    In 2016, Oliver Smith reached a point of frustration with the short
    lifespan of updates for his Android phone. Taking matters into his own
    hands, he began developing postmarketOS , a Linux distribution for
    mobile phones. Eight years later, the core team and
    trusted contributors have grown to twenty individuals, while the latest release, v24.06 ,
    now shows support for over 250devices. Although postmarketOS isn't
    usable as a day-to-day phone operating system on all of them, it can also enable repurposing devices into compact servers or kiosk machines.
