PostmarketOS (abbreviated as pmOS) is an operating system primarily for smartphones, based on Alpine Linux. One of the project’s ultimate aims is to support the mainline Linux kernel on all phones.
In early March, pmOS took a step further towards this goal by providing a version of the OS that builds on top of Systemd.
At the time of writing, several-proof-ofconcept images are available and developers are free to build their own version. Although Alpine Linux doesn’t ship Systemd, there are currently no plans to move pmOS away from it.
PostmarketOS builds are now available using Systemd, even though its parent OS Alpine Linux doesn’t ship with it.
