For real, people should put disclaimers when recommending software like this. “I really like their vision, but installer beware! It is not ready for noobs! Also calling and texting just doesn’t work! Lol good luck!”
Yeah, people should not judge things without testing them first. Pmos works well on supported devices. Its not for the end user at this point imo though.
Not really. Pmos works increasingly well and keeps you away from being dependent on vendor specific android updates because it is actual linux.
You can check the devices page for compatibility. Most community supported phones can do phone things. Cameras are an issue though since they are highly complex and obviously proprietary crap.
LineageOS is very stable and usable as a daily driver, meanwhile PMOS struggles to deliver basic functionalities like calling and sending SMS.
LineageOS has a bigger community and supports more mainstream devices, where PMOS primarily focus on PINE64 and Purism.
Wow that sounds like so much fun.

Maybe I’m just dumb (highly likely) but their state of PMOS page doesn’t actually say what state the project is in. It reads more like an about me

Eh… stick to a real phone OS if that’s what you want. Not every project needs to cater to the common denominator.
When I went to their page, I thought “wow, I could use all those old phones I have lingering around for something fun!”
I think you missed the detail that lineageOS and grapheneOS are based on AOSP and PMOS is based on mainline Linux.
