From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How? Can it run other oneplus? I have a 6T and will want to try it out. Any help or suggestions would be helpful
The 6T specifically has a community image support, as described here
Awesome, I will get into it. Thanks for the quick turnaround
Worth it to try out and see the current state. The ecosystem is close to daily usage if you mind some bugs and use only standardized FOSS things. There are bugs here and there like GNOME Web crashing on more load that definetly can be a turn off for many to switch now, but it is worth trying out especially when going back is easy on OnePlus phones.
For the 6T you can go straight to Mobian or PostmarletOS and ditch the android kernel!
It's great if you want portable computer. But as smartphone, still no camera is a big downside :P.
Well, at least Dylan made sensors work :)
Also, full-blown NixOS is possible with custom partitioning and stuff
