I gotta donate more to postmarket os to help fill in the usability gaps.

Their funding recently increased by 25% from 2025 to 2026!

Review seems more for entertainment purposes; fellow seems to know more about Linux but chooses to take potshots instead.

Just what he does, he's funny. Check out his other videos.

That's kind of his thing though. He does the same for corporate products too (recently, see Macbook Neo being the Macbook No)

He is bringing attention to an obscure os. Not many big youtubers even know that pmos exists.

It's almost ready for daily driving! I didn't realize how good it had gotten

The audio issues the FP5 has should also be fixed in the next release.

Wait again?

This one also has a super negative clickbait title but everything he showed was actually functional and was shown in a better light than even the early days linux phone enthusiasts would ever try to convey. Fucking bizarre youtuber, this guy.

14:06 I bursted out laughing at that terrible linux video quality with the rock music.

The biggest issue I have with PostmarketOS is their documentation for new users is horrendous.

I tried installing it on a 2012 Nexus 7 and couldn't get past the jargon.

Tbh I really disliked how he made fun of it here, but I watched the Ubuntu / fairphone video he also posted and that really got me intrigued.

A heartwarming video. Back in the day (during the Slackware era), these tech-allergic Apple "dudes" wouldn’t even try anything that remotely resembled Linux. These days, they mock it, but they still manage to test and document everything

On the positive side the PMOS device wiki for Fairphone 4 is accurate to what he discovered i.e. audio, battery and calls not yet fully working:
