  1. Maemo Leste is a mobile Linux distro that carries on the legacy of Nokia's short-lived Linux-based smartphone OS. Ccurrently based on Devuan Daedalus (Debian Bookworm), work is underway to migrate to Excalibur (Trixie). Here's a summary of recent developments. maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-le

  3. Picked up an old #Nokia #N900 for cheap, turned out to the micro USB port was broken.

    So I had the opportunity to learn SMD soldering. Both harder and easier than expected, does require proper tools.

    The plan was to install #PostmarketOS or #maemoleste and use it as a portable mini-computer.

    Might still try but I kind of remembered why I don't play around with Linux on old hardware...

    It takes too much time and I have too many other things I want to do, and in the end there is always compromises when working on old undocumented hardware.

    But it's type II fun so I always come back to it after :-)

  4. @fell Xfce should be usable on #N900. But you should really take a look at Maemo Leste, you get working system for little effort. #Maemo, #MaemoLeste, I guess?
