"Purism exists because individual rights are no longer reliably protected by policy alone. In practice, they are determined by the design of the technology people are required to use.

The modern U.S. government no longer needs to openly censor speech or ban technologies to exert control. It can instead rely on a dense web of commercial platforms... that centralize power, identity, and data by design."

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (19/2026): Voices and Splashes

USB-C display out works after some changes, but HWC seems to gets stuck when unplugging #ubuntutouch #ubports #pixel9a #mobilelinux

Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3 porta fix importanti per desktop mode, dock e browser mentre UBports lavora al salto verso Qt 6 e Chromium più recente. #UbuntuTouch #Linux #OpenSource #UBports #MobileLinux

Apart from supported devices, what are the deciding factors to choose between @mobian and @postmarketOS ?

Building for Mobian is easy in docker (we use https://tangled.org/me.webbeef.org/beaver/blob/main/support/docker/Dockerfile.arm64), not sure if pmbootstrap is also usable in CI? Ideally we would create updatable images with cage (https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage) as the wayland compositor and Beaver as the user environment.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (18/2026): Shift to Convergence

@superblox If it works in the browser, it works on #MobileLinux.

Wero works totally fine in the browser without an app for me, as long as I stay below €5000.

#appgap

@superblox This is also a chicken egg problem. If there are little #MobileLinux users the motivation to create apps for Linux will be smaller. If there are less apps, there will be less #MobileLinux users.

I decided to have a Linux phone to break this circular dependency a little. One more mobile Linux user.

Fortunately, I see that more and more is possible via the browser.

I made the initial code for #ubuntutouch for the Pixel 9a public now: https://git.deusch.me/ubports/device-google-tegu

The repository has instructions for flashing. But be aware that this is very experimental and not ready for daily use. Also again the disclaimer that AI was involved and a lot of the patches are for sure not done the proper way. You’ve been warned!

@huntingdon

Regarding the price see: https://mastodon.social/@janvlug/116510085888567116

There are no is no monthly fee for the #Librem5 itself. You can use it with the provider of your choice.

You can take a totally optional #PureOS subscription though: https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-optional-subscription-added-to-advance-development/ Such subscription will help funding the advancement of PureOS. Which in the end will also help the #MobileLinux eco system.

@okias @khleedril @signalapp

I agree on the fact that using third-party builds imposes a risk. Unfortunately, Signal has not been very #MobileLinux friendly. But I think things are getting better and better. There is als an official #appimage in the making. Not sure if it will run on arm64 though.

@cyb3rrunn3r

From a first glance these look like Android devices to me. Personally, I think Android is on a dead end when it comes to being aligned with free software principles.

I really prefer #MobileLinux.

(1/2) Hey #MobileLinux folks, I haven't been around the community much in ages now and I have a few question to those who followed development more closely. I found a used #Fairphone4 for cheap and while mainline seems to have barely moved since I left (still the same base features missing for any device except the Librem5), Ubuntu Touch might be a good choice on this device. Unfortunately it had major issues last time I used it (see next post)

@lazarus

My personal preference is hardware from a company that is committed to #FreeSoftware, and that invests in both hardware and software.

Also, keep in mind that the hardware might be older, but the Linux operating system for phones is often way longer supported than the short term support of Android.

If you use de-googled stuff, you keep kind of dependent on Google and Android hardware. Therefore I have a strong preference for #MobileLinux.

@fdroidorg

I realize that yesterday it was exactly four years ago that I started the experiment to use the #Librem5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.

I have been using it since then, and the software is being improved regularly and in a very transparent way.

Read here about the beginning of this experiment: https://janvlug.org/blog/one-week-librem-5-field-trial-day-1/

Would you be interested in a blog with an update of the current state of the Librem 5?

"Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone"

https://www.theregister.com/2026/05/01/buy_a_foss_fondleslab/

I use a #Librem5 #Linux #phone. With the default #PureOS operating system.

Enjoy your #freedom, break free from #Google and #Apple.

Have a full Linux computer in your pocket that you can also use for calling.

Questions? Ask me.

@schmidtisblog
Wenn es auf #ubuntutouch eine gut funktionierende(!) Podcast-App gibt und auch das drumherum okay funktioniert, ist mein nächstes Handy ein Volla-Phone.
Akku-Leistung war bei meinen bisherigen Tests "Bombe"! (Besitze bereits das erste Volla-Phone)
Kann ich von meinem aktuellen #pixel9a mit #lineageos nicht behaupten.
