Early days yet, but the new PostMarketOS initiative has started to add support for N900 (limited for now).

NB: in addition to the below, PMOS can't make calls or send SMS messages on any platform yet.

What works
  • Booting the system
  • Kernel log to the display
  • Framebuffer graphics
  • Unlocking the root partition using the keyboard
  • Backlight control
  • Wayland on framebuffer
  • Module loading
  • Wifi (see note below under Additional Info)

What does not work
  • Touchscreen, module is loaded but now the kernel is panicing
  • The keymap is incorrect, The shift key doesn't allow entering numbers
PMOS on N900 details

EDIT: There's a subreddit for PMOS
