I recently got an #AppleWatch to help improve my sleep quality. I've also been wearing it on daily walks, and when meeting people.

But with the news that Apple Watch is becoming a creeper device, I don't want to appear to endorse that, nor be insensitive, by wearing it around others.

So the Apple Watch is staying at home now

And I'm feeling more urge to move from #iPhone, to a more privacy-respecting device. Probably back to #GrapheneOS. But viable #PostmarketOS with #Phosh would be nice.

GrapheneOS is slop, blah blah blah... i know, i'd like to do something about it

https://codeberg.org/posthardenedOS specifically this, it's supposed to be postmarketOS (duranium) but hardened

the issue is that the project has barely started and i dropped it for now

i'm mediocre at cybersec at best and would need some help with the project (i.e. port linux-hardened, make SELinux policies, sandboxing, systems hardenings, etc.) just to keep the project rolling as i feel i'm not enough to get this job done properly

anybody interested? pls contact

#postmarketos #posthardenedos #grapheneos #mobilelinux #slop

I'm thinking about offering some informal mentoring to someone who wants to get into #postmarketOS development (packaging, #duranium) or other projects I'm heavily involved with. I've been contributing to pmOS for a while, and I'm happy to help someone get unstuck. In return I'd ask for patience (I make mistakes and I don't have infinite time), and some self-motivation and comfort with Linux, the command line, and git. Would anyone be interested in this?

Hello I'm calling you from Linux 7.1.0-rc1-sdm845 and all I had to do was putting a SIM card into the sim slot.

#postmarketOS is just insane nowadays

Had a dream last night that I accidentally stuck a USB drive with a postmarketOS Duranium experimental ISO into my laptop and it did part of the install before I realized what was happening.

I wish there was a crowdfunding campaign somewhere to get a reasonably modern phone up and running reliably with real Linux.

I'm talking something with PostmarketOS / Mobian + Phosh/Plasma Mobile / Gnome Mobile and the basics made reliable:
* wifi
* mobile data
* calls
* suspend/wake
* camera

Maybe make Waydroid integration a stretch goal, but not a core requirement.

I would gladly throw a bunch of money at something with the promise to get the basics to work reliably.

Maybe the issue isn't money, but it sure seems like pooling funding for some of the highly talented people working in the space couldn't hurt.

Anyone know of anything like this?

Okay, hi everyone

This weekend, after a random toot from @alice in my TL, I found myself in a rabbit hole to enhance and create an iOS 6 theme for GTK4. It's not much, it has some rough edges, but damn it looks so cool, and I'm so proud of this!!

If you wanna help with design or add icons, please feel free to do so!

@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.

Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

@ati1 @linmob Depends what the user wants from a personal device, how they use it and what their priorities are. If someone's priorities are a modern camera, running proprietary Android apps and their money is held hostage by banks requiring #Duopoly apps, they should check back later, perhaps when the Librem 5 "Fir" model is released.

On the other hand, if #FreeSoftware, #privacy, #modularity, #repairability, #ecofriendliness, #decentralisation, #digitalindependence, etc. are valued above other things, the Librem 5 and the higher-spec model, the #LibertyPhone, can absolutely work in 2025 and beyond.

I am daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything important to me works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid them due to #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, camera with OK quality photos (see: #ShotOnLibrem5), GPS with #PureMaps, web browsing with #FirefoxESR, web apps (including banking) using #GNOMEWeb and #BraveBrowser, email using #Geary and #DeltaChat, audio calls on #SignalMessenger, #Matrix ( #ElementMessenger), #XMPP ( #DinoIM), #JitsiMeet, etc.

There are occasional bugs and quirks, and the device itself has limitations but nothing that I can't work around.

Not sure if I missed anything. Let me know if you have a specific use case that you absolutely require and I'll see if I can test...

I'm seriously impressed by how beautiful and polished GNOME Mobile is. For me, it's the current winner for the best Linux smartphone UI.

Ein Paar Korrekturen zu meinem @datenspuren talk zu #linuxmobile:
- neben #postmarketos ist auch #mobian komplett frei und läuft auf einem mainline Linux kernel. Droidian ist zwar verwandt mit Mobian, ist wiederum aber #halium basiert
- libhybris ist ein Kompatibilitätslayer um Android Applikationen (z. B. Treiber) auf einem Linux laufen zu lassen (meinte ich so, habs aber versehentlich andersrum gesagt)
- die Mail app auf einer der Folien war
natürlich #geary und nicht #evolution

so, i switched from spotify to #qobuz... for reasons... now i own a #hifi device (albeit entry level). for the price, the #hiby #m300 is pretty solid with my #koss #portapro headphones. especially since i've had my porta pros for like 3 or 4 years.

i'm all in bro

Secondo voi visto l'andazzo delle ROM alternative causa #bigG ci sarà "un'impennata" nel settore mobile per gli OS open #linux come #plasmamobile #ubports #postmarketos #gnomemobile ecc? Porterà qualche dev in piú che svilupperà app specifiche? Magari un impennata cosi grande da portare grandi realtà a sviluppare app come io 🤣🤣🤣 da meta post sto vaneggiando 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@furilabs nice, nice, so #FuriOS is just like #SailfishOS or #PureOS, #Mobian, #PostmarketOS, ... yeah, it's a marketing post ;)
But (for me much more important) are you planning a second phone with for example a #Rockchip or at least a #Snapdragon SoC? Or do you just planning to use #Gigaset Smartphones as your base platform?

Is anyone else experiencing missing icons on postmarketos gnome mobile? Boosts appreciated!

EDIT: I was able to resolve this by switching my icon theme to hicolor, then back to adwaita via gnome tweaks.

Thanks everyone!

#Kuroko is now in the edge/community repo on #AlpineLinux and #postmarketOS officially!

I’m the sole maintainer of Kuroko on #Alpine!

Here’s me installing it on a fresh copy of #pmOS on a #Pixel3A to celebrate!

Thanks the person on my original #Mastodon post for convincing me and the Alpine #aports team.

I did #Fedi! The joke is now reality. Please #boost as this is a big achievement for me!!!

#Kuroko has finally arrived on #AlpineLinux!!!

Currently on edge testing branch!

It will also be available on #postmarketOS as well!

#Linux #Alpine #Tech #Technology #pmOS

Finally got around to replace #GnomeMobile with #Phosh on my OnePlus 6T with #postmarketOS. Thanks to @agx and @linuxmobile for the hints. I expected to just add the postmarketos-ui-phosh package but it complained about some conflicts. I had to manually del some postmarketos-ui-gnome-mobile packages and dependencies before I could add phosh.

https://nerdculture.de/@fluchtkapsel/113867941791194707

While doing this I also did a postmarketos-release-upgrade. It's not really end user friendly at the moment but I consider pmOS still in development. After the reboot, I encountered a "Qualcomm Crashdump Mode" message for the first time in my life. A little disturbing, tbh, but after resetting the phone booted into tinydm+phosh as planned.

While GNOME Mobile isn't bad on a small screen, phosh is a little bit more optimized. I could imagine to give GNOME Mobile another try on my Mi Pad 5.

Linux mobile people, you can make decent screen recordings with Kooha. So share some videos, and let's demonstrate how amazing Linux smartphones are! Settings that work best for me on OnePlus 6t are mp4 + 30fps. #postmarketos #gnomemobile #mobilelinux

This #Pixel3a may be the first #postmarketOS powered device or even first #Phone EVER to build and run the #Kuroko #Python dialect!

#postmarketOS #pinephone #gnome #confy #passes

Installing #postmarketOS from postmarketOS, shot on postmarketOS

#ShotOnPinePhone

The #librem11 is great so far, I've been giving #pureos a shot since it is #purism flagship distro -- there are things that I think need improvement -- like (a) some of the pureos apps are not as good as their #flatpak counterparts -- like for example flathub has #geany 2.0 while pureos is still 1.38 0 -- or (b) the native `gnome-calculator` app for some reason doesn't respect "Dark Theme" mode in #phosh -- same with #gedit -- the flatpak version needs to be installed by console (same with #epiphany).

I'm writing this from #tuba and i much prefer it to android #fediverse apps. #parabolic #xournal++ #gnome-maps #libreoffice #krita #gimp #discord #gimp #krita #mypaint all seem to be working just fine.

Having had no prior experience with #tablet sized devices with a keyboard, it wasn't obvious to me how the magnetic cover snaps to the back of the tablet in a λ kind of shape.

Contact sync with #nextcloud works as expected, and #geary email seems like a good fit for this size device, though I typically prefer #thunderbird -- I'm going to give that a try later.

#chatty seems clogged up when I try to login to my #matrix -- though I had a lot of rooms and person to person chats. I am thinking of installing the #flatpak version to see if that fixes it, but then that would seem odd to not use pureos version. It sometimes shows my rooms and contacts double in the left sidebar. Though I have been impressed when using my #librem5 and #postmarketos version of the app as I am new to it. It's a bit rough but seems to have come a long way.

Overall the device is pretty snappy, I have 6 apps open as I write this and it is doing just fine.

#cheese takes photos and videos just fine. I tried to get the #gnome "snapshot" "camera" app running but it doesn't automatically detect the cameras. I am not sure if this is because it is a flatpak or not. I enabled the permissions in #flatseal

I strongly recommend a wireless bluetooth mouse. I am using a inexpensive logitech m535 and it works great. Wifi, no complaints there.

I do think that the default apps in the pureos repos should either be updated or omitted as the default software source, suchas the #libreoffice package when intalled has a theme that makes it look like it's from the 1990s whereas the flatpak version is very nice.

I've been watching #linuxmobile over the last decade and I am presently surprised how far purism and the #linux and #foss people have come. Excellent work @ all. I think this is a great device to do development on as it runs much faster than my #pinephone and even my librem5. And it's not qemu, and the device seems easy enough to reflash -- one thing I especially like about the librem5 aswell when compared to other processes like fumbling through pmbootstrap to reflash #android to #lineageos
I am still trying to figure out what the best music app for this device is -- I do like #lollypop

Internal sound quality isn't amazing, but I wouldn't call it bad either when comparing to some of the other small form factor devices with mobile speakers I've owned. It's fine as a fallback but you are better off with a bluetooth headset to complement it or a tiny portable bluetooth speaker.

Some options like "scale apps to fullscreen" are not easy to find so I had to set a few options in dconf-editor. I think there is a app called "Mobile Settings" that might have it. Not all apps have the dialogs constrained inside the screen dimensions like the Geany Open dialog for example (which is understandable as this app hasn't targeted mobile or tablet yet as far as I know.)

I use the device to watch online videos, for instant messaging via matrix via #element / #schildichat and it does just fine. I haven't tested it with #zoom or anything but from what I've seen I'm sure it'd do just fine.

Epiphany "Install Website as App" is a great feature -- I have several I've added to my App Menu, Epiphany has always had trouble though being on the lean side. I do wish that I had this option on #firefox ESR, in any case I've just switched to #librewolf again as I prefer it.

I am interesting in comparing phosh to #gnomemobile as I might want to use that instead someday. I have used #plasmamobile and it's hard to put into words in some ways I like it more than phosh, and in other ways I am just not used to the apps -- some apps are just better out of box like their notes app, I like that they have a flashlight button in their top menu. Their UX scaling and fluidity is really good. I am glad that everything is doing such a good job and friendly competition will drive each side to keep improving.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this device on day 1, but I am glad I did. And as I don't have a laptop or like laptops or conventional smartphones very much for me this device is kindof a big deal that I can do basic #linux and #it things on the go along with communication and such without all the headache of android, ios or windows which is not a option for me as linux is just better.

If you think about the #privacy space -- the #libremboot #codeboot is pretty revolutionary to start to see these kinds of firmwares in all in one hardware. And of course this automatic disk encryption is a nice bonus though not something I need as a enthusiast unless maybe I want to travel with the device and protect my data.

People will have different criticisms, and opinions, and I may be easy-going but overall my opinion is that I am pleased with the utility the device offers and I think any rough edges will only get better in the software over time. I may switch the default distro eventually to do some more research and exploring in the linux mobile space -- but it's a little unclear who the big names are worth checking out. I did postmarketos for a while but I feel like the QA is a little all over the place and their package manager is a little difficult to use when I want to check the available software versions, and the phone space is such a mess to try to document and navigate if you are trying to use a previously android device.

I'm also interested in how the #starlabs #starlite5 will compare and contrast in the future. Having used this device I can't recommend something in this size without a keyboard and mouse for more complex usage, I didn't really undestand that the Librem11 keyboard is wired at first, but now that I have figured it out I prefer the simple tech vs overcomplication.

All in all, I think they have a winner, and I expect to get a lot of use out of this as a side rig to my main desktop. Would buy again, and excited to see all the software improvements coming downstream.
