It sounds like you're expecting this to be an alternative Smartphone OS you can flash onto a existing smartphone.
While for sure it CAN be one if some people get behind it, I didn't read anywhere that this is a main goal of this open-source project...
For Smartphones, LuneOS carries on the legacy of webOS. I made a video about it running on the PinePhone a while back: https://linmob.net/videos/#LuneOS
- Which platforms are supported? Is the only platform supported a Raspberry Pi 4?
- what about feature matrix with e.g. camera, gps, gyroscope, touchscreen, etc?
- where is the open source code for what? If I want to fix a driver error, what's the projects/repos relevant to it?
- why are there no official build images that are ready to tryout? (e.g. similar to lineageos's devices list)
- flashing guide is misleading. You cannot "flash" an sdcard. Flashing implies bootloader-like patching of the existing OS of a target device, not a copied image that I can run on the exact same host device.
It took me a while to find the the examples in the repo on github:
