@iFixit@mastodon.social it will soon be time to start rating phones for how easily they accept #customROM (s) given #google (s) intent to lock down third party app stores for android like #fdroid ... this is a real "repair" situation for many people.

@lps@mograph.social @iFixit@mastodon.social this is a good reference point for bootloader unlock support, which should be part of such a rating https://github.com/zenfyrdev/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame custom ROM / alternative OS support is harder to track and quantize given that there's so many types and support (official or unofficial) scattered across XDA Forums, Telegram, GitHub that it's really hard to find them all So probably just checking if there's support from the most popular ROM, LineageOS, and most popular alternative OS, postmarketOS would be the only reliable way for that to work right now.
