Well in theory you can or will be able soon [1] (there is commmunity support for FP4). But I don't want a device to tinker with. I want a reliable daily driver that is sustainable (repairable/replaceable), privacy focused, based on linux open source (convergent) and long-term supported by a well run entity.

Edit: apparently they got the FP5 early and that's already got better support than the FP4 https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp... via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37320861 </edit>

Wait, what does an "N" column mean? Surely basics like the battery, audio, camera, and GPS don't not work at all.

If that's what this means, yeah I get that nobody should want to run that on this device. That's quite disappointing, but with the low volumes that FP is able to ship, I guess the volunteers on postmarket have to make choices

Edit: five tables further down, there's a legend. Indeed, battery etc. is not just not tested or something, but actually tested not working. Weird, you'd think the battery works regardless of what software it runs o.O
