Graphene is only on pixels, why not their /e/os?
Why not posmarketOS?
I love Linux as much as the next guy but I've got PostmarketOS as well as Ubuntu touch running on a Fairphone 4 and the experience is far from polished, postmarket doesn't even do VoLTE.
Not saying it sucks - I love it. But it's not for everyone and unlikely to replace android for most use cases at the moment unfortunately.
Well do i have good news for you!

they got the camera kinda working on the 6+ yesterday too https://catcrafts.net/posts/fairphone-6-postmarketos-working-main-camera
Yeah I think it just doesn’t work on the FP4 yet. At least I haven’t managed to get it working. On Ubuntu touch it also took years (although that community is also very… special)
I want postmarket so bad.
They did actually get a camera working for fairphone 6+, yesterday, kinda, mostly https://catcrafts.net/posts/fairphone-6-postmarketos-working-main-camera
I need an ok camera, ok video, gps, volte, sms, and ~18 hours of battery life with maybe 6-8 of it active.
All of the above, preferably
That's definitely possible, although it will take some work, because the processor is different from the Fairphone 6, which is currently running post-market OS already.
It won't take any work, Luca has confirmed the image works on both Fairphone 6 and Fairphone 6+
