Fedora Pocketblue Remix is an atomic Linux distro for mobile devices (phones and tablets)
Quoting: Fedora Pocketblue Remix is an atomic Linux distro for mobile devices (phones and tablets) - Liliputing —
Fedora Pocketblue Remix is a mobile Linux distribution designed to let you run Fedora on a smartphone or tablet. But unlike most mobile Linux distros, Pocketblue is an atomic distro.
In a nutshell, that means it’s an operating system that’s harder to break because of the way updates are installed. Basically, new package updates are either fully installed or not installed at all – if something breaks during installation, the OS will just default to using the old version of any given package. And that should make Fedora Pocketblue Remix a relatively robust option… if you’ve got one of the handful of devices that the operating system supports.
It's FOSS:

Someone is Bringing Fedora Linux to Phones (And It’s Not Red Hat)
The mobile Linux space is more active than most people realize. Projects like postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch, and KDE Plasma Mobile have been chipping away at the idea that your phone or tablet has to run something made by Google or Apple.
And while none of them are household names yet, they are picking up real interest from power users who want more control over their hardware. Of course, most people stick with Android or iOS, and that is fine.
Both platforms are mature, well-supported, and not going anywhere. But for the ones who want something genuinely open and free of platform lock-in, things are getting better.
One such offering is Fedora Pocketblue Remix, which is a community-powered project that offers Fedora Atomic images for mobile devices.
