  1. Fedi, should I be stupid and spend 1K € on a Steam Frame? I would definitevely like to port #postmarketOS to it. Hmmmm

    I saw you mention the possibility of using #postmarketOS to simulate USB mass storage devices, since it doesn't have Android's restrictions on what you can do with the USB interface: but the pmOS wiki doesn't seem to have any finished applications for doing this (just an overview of the "USB Gadget" function).

    Would be a good usecase for all those phones where USB works, but the other components don't have proper support yet.

    (i'd also ask how the transfer speeds compare to a good USB3 SSD, but frankly I'd be grateful to never have to juggle USB drives or use chainloader nonsense like Ventoy)
  3. I recently bought a #oneplus6 and successfully installed #postmarketos on it. However, the phone died a few hours later (black screen, responding only to EDL commands), and I couldn't reset it, even with MSM Download Tool. I managed to flash Android back but it won't restart. Do you think it's an error related to my installation or just bad luck ? I really want to try #mobilelinux, so should I buy another OnePlus 6 or 6T and try again ?

  4. For people who still maintain digital music collections: what do you use to manage your music collection and get either all of a subset of it onto your mobile device of choice? I'm particularly interested in iOS-compatible options that don't require a Mac, or solutions that help motivate dogfooding a #PostmarketOS solution.
