dderbyOksana: The A780 is actually one of the few mobile phones with support in mainline Linux.  It might not be too difficult to get a recent kernel running on it.  Try building Linux 5.1 and see what happens01:56
dderbyHere's the board file (no DT available): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-pxa/ezx.c01:56
dderbyRunning Leste wouldn't be so straightforward due memory limitations and ARMv501:57
dderbyThere's no ARMv5 support in Debian or Devuan01:58
dderbyYou could try Raspbian01:58
brolin_empeydderby: Does Raspbian support ARMv5?  I thought that Raspbian was originally created for the original Raspberry Pi, which is ARMv6, not ARMv5.04:11
Oksanadderby: I am too lazy to try building Linux kernel without GUI. I would wish to go slowly, since I have never compiled a whole OS before (I usually would ask auto-builder to compile a .deb app for me?), and read http://web.archive.org/web/20180826132044/http://people.openezx.org/laforge/ as well07:23
brolin_empeyIs A780 one of the Motorola “phones” with which the OpenMoko developers were involved before creating the OpenMoko GTA01 AKA Neo 1973 and GTA02 AKA Neo FreeRunner?07:44
brolin_empeyApparently yes: https://www.vanille.de/blog/openmoko-10-years-after-mickeys-story/08:00
brolin_empeyA ThinkPad X40 is in at least one of the photographs in this article.12:09
