# how?
the short answer is: [postmarketOS](https://postmarketos.org/). pmOS is a linux that is written especially to "keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break" (or beyond that).
this web page is served by a device that was released some six years ago in 2018. it is now lucky enough to be listed in a very green row with lots of "yes" cells in the [device compatibility table](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/All_devices) (you can see it when you click the link an scroll all the way down to "xiaomi poco f1"). a large community has spent a lot of time figuring out and documenting its inner workings, and extending pmos to support its hardware, and that of similar phones along with it.
postmarketos tries to be a phone operating system like android or ios, providing things like messaging apps and supporting phone calls. but it gives you a lot of freedom and you can just decide not to use all that! and because everything has many more and faster cpus and more ram that we know what to do with it, and internet is almost everywhere, and the sun is shining, a phone can comfortably host an entire ecosystem. 🌿
