#postmarketos — Public Fediverse posts

Native Linux on old phones is getting much easier. My dead 10-year-old Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) now runs Nura (postmarketOS) with working camera, torch, SIM, calls and SMS. AI sped up the manual work, plus my own knowledge. Only the loudspeaker is left.

Drivers and research are up for anyone who wants to install them, or study them and write the patches by hand for mainline:

Were any of the talks from the postmarketOS and Alpine Linux conference 2026 posted anywhere?

Zur Entspannung nutze ich einen Tiling-Windowmanager auf meinem Handy. Was das genau ist und wie das geht, habe ich hier im Podcast einmal erklärt: https://gnulinux.ch/ciw089-podcast

Damit ich nicht jedes Mal nach der Installation von Nura alles manuell einrichten muss, habe ich ein Post-Install-Script geschrieben, das ich gerne mit euch teilen möchte: https://gnulinux.ch/nura-mit-sxmo-einrichten

postmarketOS is No More, At Least Under That Name:
https://feed.itsfoss.com/link/24361/17476371/postmarketos-nura-rebranding
(It will take a bit of time to get used to the new name, but I mean it makes sense to rename it, because it isn't just for old phones unsupported by the manufacturer anymore, as the old name suggests, but also for newer ones)
