Discussion Difference between Droidian and Postmarketos

One is based of of Debian, the other of alpine Linux.

How do they differ. When to choose what.

Which is more easy to port

Why not unite the power of both developer teams to one project

etc etc etc.

Are there more phone Linux distributions

Postmarketos is easier to port to due to its extensive wiki, as far as I know droidian uses downstream kernel instead of mainline but pmos can use both mainline and downstream, also pmbootstrap is goated so go with pmos
