Developers of a Linux distribution aimed at use on mobile devices, postmarket OS, announced initial support for their product on the Apple iPhone 7 smartphone.
postmarketOS is a free and open source operating system designed for use on mobile devices. At the heart distributions lie Alpine Linux, musl ΠΈ BusyBox. The project was launched in 2017. It can run desktop environments based on Xserver ΠΈ Wayland, such as Plasma Mobile, MATE, GNOME 3, XFCE, and in recent versions support has been added unity8 ΠΈ phosh.
In the version for iPhone, due to restrictions on the size of the bootable kernel, only the initial launch of the system without a graphical interface has been implemented so far. But active work is underway, and soon the developers hope to launch full-fledged Linux on the Apple iPhone 7.
It is also worth noting that the distribution is still considered an alpha version, so even calls do not work on many supported devices (the list of which, by the way, is not so small).
