postmarketOS seeks to upstream hardware support for Community Devices |
 |
The postmarketOS team are facing a heavy burden by carrying device-specific patches for hardware. In an effort to reduce the load of maintaining patches for each supported device, the postmarketOS team is proposing that new community devices should have drivers merged into the upstream Linux kernel prior to being considered supported by the distribution as a "Community Device". "This follows discussions with other community members about similar ideas. The main goal is, that as the Linux Mobile ecosystem matures, and gets easier and easier to have things upstream, we follow suit and encourage people to follow on that route. We've always been proud of the 'upstream-first' mentality, and want to continue it. This issue is to bring it up to further community discussion, as it will require work from community maintainers, and we want feedback to make sure the burden is not excessive." An ongoing discussion can be found in the distribution's GitLab issue.
