I want to donate to a linux phone. I believe in linux and I want a linux phone. Maybe we can use one in very few years as a normal daily driver. It’s getting closer and closer every month.
I want to donate that we get there sooner. But which project? I’m following postmarket but I’m not sure if they are the most promising. What’s your stance on this? To which project would you give your money to accellerate it?
Edit: I don’t want to buy a phone. I want to support the phone os devs. Sorry for the bad wording.
Lineage os seems to be the most promising. We already have F-droid so the apps are there and the good news is that for every component that Google makes proprietary Lineage os is creating and maintaining a free software version.
It uses the Linux kernel yes but not what OP is asking at all
I would not call Android a Linux. It may have the kernel but it isn’t much GNU in it
It can be free like Linux so it counts in my book. I wouldn’t consider Google Android free but Lineage os counts
It is released under apache 2 license, not GPL. It is certainly free software, but I wouldn’t say it is as free as linux.

True, but the Linux kernel is GPLv2 and Google nor any other company or organization can’t change that
