a lot of manufacturers are realizing that the OS is not profitable, just merely a vehicle to shove their products

the difference between Android and SteamOS is that SteamOS is funding FOSS devs who were already a part of the linux ecosystem and are contributing back to it

in contrast android built a walled garden while keeping the open source bits for theirselves

but yeah, its slightly possible that valve could become like google, but i heavily doubt it at the moment

yup it is very active. u can follow the account here: @postmarketOS

as for why the devices seem old: it takes a lot of work trying to get the old android kernel working with the mainline kernel. its much harder than lineageos as we dont reuse the old android kernel and a lot of work needs to be done on both the kernel and userspace

basically one person is doing an entire engineering departments work

if ud like the newest phone, u can get a fairphone 5
