The rationale is interesting. I'm glad they kept the logo as it's recycling ♻️

I thought at first the name "Nura" was from Esperanto, meaning more or less "current" or "up-to-date", but nope! It comes from the name for certain Sardinian buildings from the Megalithic period, "Nuraghe":

    Why? Why is everybody renaming their project after years if building up reputation?

    From the rationale, the name PostmarketOS was too difficult for the average user to recognize and pronounce out loud, even when abbreviated to pmOS.

    Plz EU or China or someone. Base your new cool mobile device OS on this so we don't have to live in this duolopy of shit.

    I have a tangential question. My understanding is that Google is requiring every Android app to be registered with them, and they're going to start blocking any that aren't. Are those apps going to continue to be installable on Nura?

    Do you mean through Waydroid? Because that's how Android apps run on Nura, out of the box it's Linux and doesn't run android apps

    Google can only enforce this on devices they control. PostmarketOS is not Android. Even if it was - if I install an app through an alternative app store or install it via "sideloading", there is nothing Google can do. Even LineageOS, which is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) won't care about Googles new toy.

    I like it!! There was a brand of headphones/earbuds/something named the same thing, that one of my partners really loved. They were really sad when it got bought out and shut down, so it's cool to see the name go to something else that's awesome.
