Jesus fuck. The thing is slow already and they're recommending a language 100 times slower than C++.

I mean a MOBILE GNU/Linux distro, because this is "Linux Smartphone General" thread. Now find me a MOBILE distribution without systemd.
Leo Baker
Can't you just take whatever distro you want and put a mobile UI on top of it? There is already KDE Plasma Mobile and probably others as well, so the software is there.

There is a relatively easy solution: install an Android fork like LineageOS. They usually don't (and legally can't) include Google apps, you have to go out of your way for that. No Google apps means no sending data to Google.

You don't want to run DWM as your phone's window manager?

Since you mentioned the thread title, have a look at the OP content. Postmarket OS (albeit still in production) is based on Alpine Linux!

Linux is the kernel
Kevin Phillips
isn't andriod already using linux?
I do believe in this situation you mean gnu/linux smartphone ;^)
Nathaniel Lopez
and I do believe that in this situation you need to shut the fuck up and do research before trying to correct people.
I did not say GNU/Linux because I did not mean GNU/Linux. PostmarketOS uses musl libc and busybox instead of glibc and Coreutils. Those GNU tools are not the best choice for a mobile environment.
Android does use a modified version of the Linux kernel so it is valid to call it a (non-GNU) Linux operating system, although many also argue that it is far enough removed that the term is misleading (arguments like major software incompatibility between Android and most Linux distros and the non-standard kernel).
On the other hand, PureOS and PostmarketOS intend to run the mainline Linux kernel, making them certainly valid to call Linux OSs, GNU is not a necessity here.
Now that you are finished mindlessly spouting a long-expired /g/ meme, let's talk about non-Android Linux operating systems intended for mobile devices!
