PostMarketOS is working on this issue! It's an Alpine Linux distro for phones with Wayland and its own UI kit.

Vouched for your comment; even though PostMarketOS is nowhere near ready for primetime, it is philosophically at least a step in the right direction.
Thanks, must be one of the "go away" bots I keep encountering since my home IP got shitlisted for unclear reasons.
I don't think it's ready for prime time either, but I think it might get to Arch-level usability for a reasonably large set of phones soon. Very promising for middling tinkerers and up IMO.

For a while I've thought about trolling eBay for a PostMarketOS compatible phone, just to keep up with development in a hands-on way. It's cheaper than investing in the Neo900 or the Pyra, though I'm passionate about both of those projects as well.
