FOSS mobile OS PostmarketOS has been updated to version 24.06. This update brings newer versions of Plasma, Phosh, SXMO, and Gnome, adds the ability for for initramfs to export logs on boot failure, removed hardcoded dependency on PulseAudio in UI packages, updates to kernels and more. If you're to get rid of Android and run something closer to pure Linux this may be worth a look for you. It is also a great option if you have a Pine64 device such as the Pinephone, Pinebook Pro or RockPro 64. PostmarketOS is based off of Alpine, uses BusyBox for the init system and ext4 for the file system.

I thought that it used systemd now, was it a belated April fool?
@postmarketOS
@deedend @publiclewdness @postmarketOS systemd is not something you implement in just a day, we're still hard at work with that. We're currently targeting v24.12 for the first release with systemd included.
And even then it'll be optional, people can still choose to use OpenRC.
Yeah I had gotten the init bit from Distrowatch.
Glad that SystemD will be optional as not forcing it is one of the things that drew me to PostmarketOS.
