iOS isn't open source. Is Android by Google enough open source ? Or are they not the two standards you are thinking about ?

> Is Android by Google enough open source ?

Android is open source, leading there to be several Android-based distros like postmarketOS and popOS. they are able to take advantage of the android software ecosystem and so are able to have apps you'd actually want to run on them

Non of these two are android based, but DivestOS or LineageOS are a fork's of AOSP.

I don't think PostmarketOS or PopOS can be considered to be an Android ditro - they are IMHO traditional Linux distros targeting mobile devices.

postmarketOS is based on Alpine Linux.

Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu.

There are lots of AOSP-based mobile OSes, including LineageOS, Graphene, Amazon's Fire OS, CalyxOS and /e/ OS.

But neither of yours are.

Thanks, I couldn't be bothered to look it up and I knew Cunningham's law would kick in. :)

Google made Android the 2nd standard phone OS by offering it to everyone as open source
