  is it using/based on megi's linux kernel or something else? if so, are there plans to support different kernels in the future (l4 based?)

• Mobile NixOS for Phones and Tablets

  Do you know more details how much the efforts progress regarding mainline support for mobile devices? I've only observed a lot of the discussions over at pmOS (and some at ArchLinuxARM for that matter), but to me it's very unclear what the "workflow" should look like if I would have, say a patch ready for my pinephone.

  A lot of efforts seem to be somehow widespread across the interwebz, with varying degrees of stability, and seem to be very uncoordinated or isolated efforts.

  I'm asking this, because I've seen that the nix file builds from megous' Linux fork [1] so I'm a bit unsure on how "official" it is in regards to whether or not pull requests/patches submitted there will be integrated upstream.

  (Sorry if I misunderstood it, but I'm a bit cautious having developed on dozens of abandoned forks of Linux kernels for Android/AOSP before - as most of them were a waste of development years due to no patron available or willing to merge fixes upstream)
