What's the go-to these days for a non vender android to put on devices? I've got a Samsung SM-T580 (Tab A 2016 model) that I've found myself thinking could be more useful if wiped and Termux installed.

Okay, quick check suggests LineageOS is the current big non-vender Android but that I could also just ditch Android and use PostmarketOS to run a version of Alpine Linux on it. I'll have to dig more. Any opinions out there in the benevolent hivemind? #lineageos #postmarketos

@LilFluff I use some kinda thingy that might be PostmarketOS/Alpine/GNU/Linux on my phone. It exists. I can use it to web, email, chat, SMS, telecom, and *nix things. For me it was infinitely easier to install than a working LineageOS (installs were on different devices, each device was designed for the OS), but I do have more experience installing GNU/Linux than Android/Linux so I might be a bit biased.
