A notable mention is https://ubports.com/en/ which is different from postmarketos in a sense that ubports uses old kernels with heavy patches. That means: good support for things, but difficult future.

PostmarketOS uses the newest kernels and tries to integrate their patches into mainline kernel, so that the reliability is maintained with all kernel developers.

      You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

      What makes you think that?

          It isn’t fundamentally incompatible, there is just a lack of drivers.

          You don’t need new hardware, you need driver support.

            I think they meant you’d have to design a combination of hardware that’s all compatible with Linux - that is, that has Linux driver support.

          The only thing that is lacking for compatibility is drivers. If that’s what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that’s not what you meant then you don’t know what you’re talking about.
