    Is there a lot of benefit to running postmarketOS compared to rooted Android?

    I've had some trouble with flashing an old Asus tablet in that all the old images/info are basically dead links. But that is mostly just your average link rot.

    I figured compiling a custom ROM was more trouble than it's worth but if the main branch is actively maintained maybe less so.

    If you want "a phone" with PostmarketOS, forget it now. It can be good as a portable mini computer for remote connecting to a servers and things like that, but until you are about to take sacrifices of for ex. not working camera and do not want to be sure alarm clock app is going to ring at the morning this won't be for you.

    It's much less polished, stable and pleasent for daily use as Android. But they are good reasons why people are developing it.
