T_X<p>Still looking for a suitable new phone from time to time. On the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LineageOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LineageOS</span></a> website there's a very helpful list of officially supported phones. But on the phone details list I see that some/many of them still only run a deprecated <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> kernel...<br>Even the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Fairphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fairphone</span></a> 4 is listed with a deprecated 4.19 kernel, while their websites is boasting about "software longevity" and "software support until at least 2026".<br>Is none of these manufacturers able to upstream their shit into the Linux kernel?</p>
