webOS in 2020: LuneOS on the PinePhone

LuneOS is the continuation of webOS, and it’s available for the Pine64 PinePhone.

Calls work, it has apps for Mail and Calendar, CalDAV and CardDAV Sync are available, the virtual keyboard is quite nice and the browser is one of the best on the PinePhone. Unfortunately, battery life is forgettable and it does not exactly wake up every time, which is likely due to it using a 5.5 kernel still.

If it did that as well as my Palm Pre Plus did, LuneOS would likely be my favourite OS.
