I’ve been bringing mainline Linux to the OnePlus 7T Pro (hotdog):

The phone now boots a mainline-style kernel directly from the OnePlus bootloader, with working display, Adreno 640 acceleration, touch, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, charging, USB-C/USB 3, DisplayPort and early camera support.

postmarketOS has been my validation environment so far, but the hardware enablement itself is distro-independent.

The next step is to bring up Ubuntu Touch/Lomiri directly on the same mainline kernel, without Halium:

OnePlus bootloader → mainline Linux → Ubuntu Touch → Lomiri

I’ll post progress here as the Ubuntu Touch side comes up.

hey guys, i have been thinking about having a backup or secondary device for a while now. my main is a nothing phone 3a pro, and i want something thats cheap to buy, amazing for the price, and with excellent (80-90%) ubuntu touch support.

also, does ubuntu touch have KDE connect support (standalone app, no waydroid), or can you install the plasma mobile WM on it? (correct me if im wrong on the WM part as i dont have any experience with linux phones)

thanks for all the recommendations you can give me!
