#flx1s — Public Fediverse posts

@shortwavesurfer @sbeak It looks like the following devices can work out for you and all ship to the US afaik:
1. #FLX1s from @furilabs
2. #LibertyPhone from @purism or the lower-spec #Librem5 if you don't need Waydroid
3. #MechaComet from @mechasystems who tested two LTE modems with it recently.

I daily drive a Librem 5 with #PureOS and #postmarketOS so feel free to ask about the experience.

Lilbits: The trouble with lifetime subscriptions, Google puts AI everywhere, and the Trump Phone is real?

Once upon a time, Plex was a free app that was a fork of XBMC (Kodi) that you could use as a full-screen media player on a computer, or to stream media over a local network. And you can still use it for those things. But these days Plex also offers ad-supported TV & movie streaming, and subscription services that let you stream your personal media collection over the internet (so you can watch […]

Furi Labs is refreshing the FLX1S Linux smartphone with a new model called the FLX1S+ that brings a better camera, LED flash, and camera software update. With the original FLX1S out of stock, the FLX1S+ will be the company's main phone moving forward. https://furilabs.com/blog/flx1s-is-coming/ #FuriLabs #FLX1S #FLX1SPlus #LinuxSmartphone #LinuxPhone

@david_bardos Interesting article, and even more interesting website design!

One thing to note is that most people do not (and will not, ever) install an OS; they simply buy a device and Windows, macOS, Android, iOS come preinstalled. You could say they chose their OS by choosing the device.

In the same fashion, there are mobile Linux OSes, e.g. #PureOS and #FuriOS that just come preinstalled for users on devices: #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, #FLX1S+

I think it's this category of OSes that has the higher promise of adoption by normal non-technical folks.

I started working on my small-net browser / client again — named: SpaceMonkey.

I got a Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.

So, I made it so SpaceMonkey would work on my FLX1s Linux phone by turning it (SpaceMonkey) into a GNOME Phosh + Linux app.

An update on the wallet app I am creating for GNOME Phosh on Linux.

I am continuing to add support for Taler.

Here is what it currently looks like to add a Taler exchange.

(A Taler exchange is where you would get Taler coins from.)

(Some of the stuff in the screen will change. Such as the buttons at the bottom.)

For the balances, the app groups the balances by currency (because I think it makes more sense to more people that way).

If you tap on the currency balance, then it shows the breakdown per Taler exchange.

So far I have written a (mobile optimized) file manager app.

And, written a finger painting app for kids ages 3 to 5. (I have young children.)

....

There are other apps I plan to write, too.

I got Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.

I started writing apps for it.

That was actually one of the things I liked about it. Making app for it is a lot easier than Android or iOS.

Native Apps on the FLX1s are just GNOME + Linux apps.

I could also use whatever programming-language I wanted — I chose the Go programming-language (golang).

Das neue FLH1 Dock von @furilabs läuft Sahnemalz. Du merkst aber, dass der Dienst auf dem Phone schon arg an der Performance nuggelt.

Um das Dock mit 1 Full HD Screen zu betreiben läuft dieser mit 12% Prozessortlast. Ist eben alles Softwaremodus. Hardwaretastatur ist immer in Englisch. Das deutsche Layout wird schlichtweg ignoriert.

Ansonsten läuft die NIC ohne Probleme, ein weiterer USB-A-Hub wird auch erkannt und die Maus sowie die Tastatur mit durchgeschleift.

Ist also schon alles sehr vielversprechend. 📱 🐧

@archivescribe @DaveMasonDotMe There's the #FLX1s from @furilabs

Also, upcoming projects from @mechasystems, @dawndrums and @Liberux

Of course, there's the #LibertyPhone / #Librem5 from @purism for true #gnuLinux... which I heard is receiving a new modem upgrade this year. That's what I'm currently daily driving with #postmarketOS.

@TWiT @jp_bennett @RobCampbell Thanks for touching on #LinuxMobile in this episode.

> [01:25:24]: getting ridiculous out there, the whole smartphone debacle we have going on. If someone could make a full-functioning Linux smartphone, I think it's getting to the point where I would pay maybe some serious money for it. I'd be willing to pay the premium dollars just make it work, get a phone on there.

Please check out the #FLX1s from @furilabs It's the most user-friendly option for #MobileLinux currently and stuff just works out of the box, including camera, phone calls, flatpaks, Android apps, etc. The specs are decent and the price is $499 atm.

You install "Aurora Store" from "F-Droid". It lets you install non-open-source Android apps. Ones that you cannot live without and cannot "get" any other way.

Again, yes, the FLX1s can also run (many) Android apps.

This is where you would look last, if you cannot find what you want in "Software" or "F-Droid".

Somewhat recently I switched to using the FLX1s Linux phone (from an Android phone).

The FLX1s is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.

One thing that I find makes using it better is — having these 3 app stores installed:

• Software
• F-Droid
• Aurora Store

I switched my phone somewhat recently — from an Android phone to a FLX1s Linux Phone.

I am an early adopter — so there are some rough areas, but —

I am largely happy with the phone.
Especially given that it is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.

One nice thing though — for the apps where there is no Linux alternative, you can run (some) Android apps on it.

I visited the FuriLabs booth at FOSDEM 2026.

I showed them my FuriLabs FLX1s phone 🙂

I actually caused an issue with my FLX1s. @fakeshell on the @furilabs team fixed it!

Thank you @fakeshell !!

I wanted to connect a keyboard to my FLX1s Linux phone.

I first tried connecting a USB keyboard to it — but, I couldn't get it to work.

Others on the Furilabs Matrix / Telegram room suggested using a Bluetooth keyboard.

So, I purchased an inexpensive (CAD $13) Bluetooth key, and — it worked! 🙂
