postmarketOS (abbreviated as pmOS) is an operating system primarily for smartphones, based on the Alpine Linux distribution.[3][4][5][6]
postmarketOS was launched on 26 May 2017[4][7] with the source code available on GitHub before migrating to GitLab in 2018.[8] It is capable of running different X and Wayland based user interfaces, such as Plasma Mobile,[9][10] MATE, GNOME, and XFCE;[11] later updates added support for Unity8 and Phosh.[12] It is also capable of running Docker, if the device specific kernel has cgroups and relevant configs enabled.[13] The project aims to provide a ten-year lifecycle for smartphones.[14]
