About this unit
A refurbished OnePlus 6 flashed with postmarketOS — full GNU/Linux (Alpine-based) with a mainline kernel, from pmOS's community tier where daily-driver-ish behavior is genuinely achievable. The 6 is one of the best-supported Linux phones: working calls, SMS, WiFi, and either GNOME Mobile or Phosh. This is not Android and not an Android security model — its appeal is longevity, tinkering, and zero Google code anywhere on the device. Quote honesty: telephony is functional but less polished than Android. Flashed via EDL/fastboot, 60-120 minutes per unit, QA'd before dispatch.
Features
- postmarketOS v26.06 community tier: mainline kernel, OnePlus 6 is a first-class port
- GNOME Mobile (or Phosh) on a real Linux base — Alpine under the hood
- No Google anything: no Play, no services, no telemetry surface
- 256 GB of storage for a genuinely usable Linux handheld
- Honest trade-off: telephony functional but less polished than Android
