I'm super happy to share, that the #Fairphone (Gen. 6) was just announced, and we've been able to already publish a lot of code for it!

* #postmarketOS support is submitted
* 59(!) patches were sent to bring up upstream #Linux on the SM7635 SoC and enable the device.
* The stock Android source code is public on code.fairphone.com

This has been a lot of work over the last couple of months so it's awesome to finally be able to share it!

@jorgeluis For sure for now not preinstalled, even on Fairphone 5 where it works reasonably well ([see wiki](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5))) there's still enough things not working to not have much company interest to sell it.
Any user who wants to use it, needs to be tech-literate enough, so then flashing it before is not a big step, especially with simple installers like flash.postmarketos.org or the UBports installer which can also install postmarketOS on some devices.
