PinePhone appears to come with PostmarketOS, and they give a small amount of every sale to PostmarketOS.

Other than PureOS what other "pinephone distros" are using Purism Software? On top of that, how much of "Purism Software" is upstream linux?



Both PostmarketOS (if you use the phosh env) and Mobian use phosh, proc, chatty, libhandy, squeekboard, and a number of Purism packages. Mobian would take a lot more work (and likely would not exist) if they did not take advantage of Purism's work.

Feel free to go through https://puri.sm/posts/ to see their documentation of what they contribute, but here is one post I choose arbitrarily:

Here's another one: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-june-2020-software-developmen... Also note the "Linux Kernel" section.


"Phosh is current available on 8 different mobile distros that have been ported to the PinePhone, and Phosh is the preferred DE on 7 of those 8."

The list of those distros is in the link.


I think they upstreamed patches to gnome and wlroots
