Mobian

Mobian is a port of the Debian distribution, running the mainline Linux kernel, to smartphones and tablets. It is available for the PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, PineTab, PineTab 2, Librem 5, OnePlus 6/6T and Pocophone F1, as well as for standard 64-bit desktop and laptop computers. It offers a choice of two open-source graphical user interfaces for mobile and touch-based devices: Phosh (originally developed by Purism) and Plasma Mobile (developed by the KDE community). Mobian provides stable releases built from Debian "Stable", as well as unsupported weekly builds based on Debian's "Testing" branch.
