        Hello there! 👋

        I am using the Fairphone 4 as my daily driver at the moment, and I want to ensure good security of the device. Henceforth I am updating the kernel from 4.19.157 to the last stable release 4.19.325 from December 2024. While no major update this will ensure added patches to known CVEs.

        Please be aware that this is a tedious process, taking incremental patches from upstream kernel.org, applying them, checking conflicts, building them and testing them on the device. It will take some time until we reach 4.19.325, so please be patient.

        If you think that's a worthwhile thing to do, please leave a donation (I could really need it). Links below in my signature.
