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.

I was actually thinking about this, oneplus 6/6T seems to be well supported by ubuntu touch, mobian and postmarket os, and it can be pretty cheap compared to new linux first devices! But the non-replaceable battery is a pain in the ass, didn't know about the oled thing, will keep in mind...
the battery replacement is non trivial. the glass back is incredibly fragile and is glued on.
that said, they can be got new-in-box from ebay.
I believe ubports are the only ones who have volte working besides jolla.
