MarathonOS - “it’s a phone that runs Linux and you’d never know unless you care” (marathonos.xyz)

I've found it on Reddit today, it's built on PostmarketOS and aims to replicate Blackberry 10 experience. Posting here because it looks much nicer than Phosh and I've never heard of it, despite following mobile linux communities.

I was always wishing the BlackBerry Classic would run the same OS, but FOSS and up-to-date and based on Linux.

The Classic will likely never come back (has not even been rooted yet), but it's nice seeing an OS like that.

Hoping for tight XMPP integration into the hub and something like the BlachBerry Classic hardware-wise. With Mainline Kernel, USB-C and 5G. Ready for the next decade.

That would be my dream.

We really should have more options than cell phone towers built into these phones anymore. LoRA with reticulum should be part of these.
