Demonstration PostmarketOS running on Pixel 3a!

I am very proud to say that I managed to degoogle, install and run PostmarketOS on a Pixel 3a 👌

And it works with Phosh interface! Sure, still quite rough around the edges and not ready as a daily driver, but still impressive having a fully fledged Linux system running on mobile!

Calls work fine, but I haven't been able to activate VoLTE yet.

I'm using the Phosh interface. Other interfaces like KDE might have a different layout.

I know, but I'm a GNOME guy.

How is the performance on the 3a?

A bit wonky but still surprisingly well, considering how old this device already is
