Releases¶
postmarketOS can be installed from either edge, or from a stable release. New stable releases are created every six months in June and December (one month after Alpine’s releases).
edge is a rolling release where all packages are kept at their newest version. This offers faster access to software at the expense of less user testing. In practice, issues on edge are relatively uncommon, and are documented in the edge blog when found.
stable releases are a snapshot of edge, in which updates to packages only contain bug fixes (with few exceptions). This means new features usually won’t appear, but you will get a more a more tried and tested, solid experience.
