A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.
I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I’ll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!
All my old devices became unusable due to the flash memory chip degrading. Unless they can run off SD card?
What device?
The flash should be rated for something like 100,000 - 1,000,000 writes
what its like when that happens? does it just not power on anymore? fails to boot? boots but works erratically?
Starts getting slower and slower over months, then yeah starts failing to boot, sometimes works if you pull the battery and retry, and eventually doesn’t work at all anymore.
