Does the relatively full support of Ubuntu phone for the Fairphone 4 have any bearing on PostmarketOS? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm currently running Iodé and an considering switching to Ubuntu phone, but ultimately I'd like to give PostmarketOS a shot. Can the Ubuntu phone support translate to faster development for PostmarketOS?

No. Ubuntu Touch is basically wrapping around the existing Android Linux kernel while PostmarketOS is trying to get actual main-line Linux kernels to run. The App ecosystem is also quite different.

Ah, thanks.
