  1. : : converting expressatt to a generic device

    i'm liking the idea of a generic device encapsulating all devices in an arch. there are now generic pkgs for x86_64 and ppc64le with aarch64 in the pipeline

    decided to open a pr (but more like an rfc) for how to do the same for armv7

    gitlab.postmarketos.org/postma

    input welcome!

    side note: there's also an idea to make an arch-agnostic generic device pkg. i think this is a great idea too

  7. OnePlus 6T unbricked thanks to advice from @cas! 🎉

    I've installed #PostmarketOS #Duranium on it because I think an image-based OS is a better fit for phone. Now I just need to figure out how to make Waydroid work because that doesn't seem to be straightforward on Duranium and there isn't a lot of documentation.

  8. hey fellow fedi nerds,
    i'm considreing buying a fairphone 3+ to install #PostMarketOS on it. Have you done it already? I see that it's not in the community list on the PM website, but there is a device page. Looking for hand's on experience.
    What about rooting the FP3+ is it doable? Looking to turn it into a nice server. #fairphone #root

  13. I worked on improving my #Blokus app Pentobi (pentobi.sourceforge.io) to support #postmarketOS better. It should now work a lot better on both #Phosh and #PlasmaMobile. The new version will be released on Flathub once Debian/Sid made the transition to Qt 6.11 (hopefully in a few weeks)..

  14. @linmob Seeing all the progress from TheMightyCat kind of pisses me off. They Vibe-mainline everything with AI and don't do it correctly. I've only looked at sensors but there they use bit-banged i2c to talk to the sensors directly instead of using the SLPI coprocessor which is made for this and already has mainline infrastructure.

    PostmarketOS has a AI policy that explicitly forbids it so these changes won't be merged and it just kinda sucks seeing someone build a vibe-coded project ontop.

  15. 📸 Wow, rejoice! The Fairphone 6 now boasts a "working" main camera on PostmarketOS—because nothing screams innovation like finally catching up to 2010's camera quality standards! 😂 But hey, at least they're acknowledging the graininess; maybe one day they'll discover the magic of JPEG alternatives! 📷✨

  17. Question of the day.

    If I flash an older mobile ROM with something like PostmarketOS, am I also going to lose existing files in the storage system i.e. photos?

    #mobileLinux #postmarketOS #plasmaMobile

  18. 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?

  19. @shortwavesurfer @sbeak It looks like the following devices can work out for you and all ship to the US afaik:
    1. #FLX1s from @furilabs
    2. #LibertyPhone from @purism or the lower-spec #Librem5 if you don't need Waydroid
    3. #MechaComet from @mechasystems who tested two LTE modems with it recently.

    I daily drive a Librem 5 with #PureOS and #postmarketOS so feel free to ask about the experience.

    (I upgraded a few days ago (I have the Phosh edition), and for some reason, the welcome app appears for a few seconds, then a lock screen with the default wallpaper instead of the one I set, then when I unlock the phone, it looks like as if it crashes, the GUI disappears for a few seconds, then it comes back, unlocked successfully. It only does this after boot, if I lock the screen back, everything is normal, no crash, and the wallpaper is what I set. Not the end of the world for me, but it's a bit weird, might annoy some.)

  21. EU needs to make a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. You don't need Play Integrity. If someone is capable to install or use alternative OS, they sure know what to install or not install, it is on their responsibility. Using non-root but bootloader unlocked device (otherwise can't use alternative OS) does not make my device less secure. On the contrary, it is using an up to date OS with the latest security patches. Do we really want all mobile devices have to be Google Certified? No. #mobile #integrity #bootloader #unlocked #nonsense #Europe

  22. Hello everyone after a long time! Hope you're all doing great, I've missed this community :)

    My internet is finally back to a relatively stable state, which means I can jump back into my old passion projects!

    I recently saw that a native ARM64 beta port of the Steam client was released, and I knew it was the perfect time to test it on my Linux phone.

    I'm currently running #postmarketOS with #PlasmaMobile on my PocoPhone F1. Since pmOS is based on Alpine, it uses musl libc, which doesn't support running these binaries natively. To bypass this, I set up an Ubuntu 24.04 #Distrobox container and installed the ARM64 Steam client along with box64 and box86. The process wasn't as straightforward as some guides suggest (like the one below); I had to do some extra tweaking. I'll definitely write a detailed blog post or a postmarketOS wiki entry about it soon!

    🔗 interfacinglinux.com/community

    I managed to boot Steam into Big Picture mode and went straight to setting up Proton.

    Note: The Proton 11 ARM64 mentioned in the link didn't work for me, so I used Proton Experimental instead.

    I paired my PS4 controller via Bluetooth, and it worked flawlessly out of the box! For the gaming test, I downloaded Crab Game (kept it lightweight due to my strict data limits).

    Against all odds, it actually launched! Running via Proton Experimental + Box64/86 inside Distrobox on my phone, I managed to get a relatively playable 20-30 FPS. Linux mobile gaming is getting wild! 🐧🎮

  23. Reading a bit on #PostmarketOS, #PlasmaMobile, #Halium etc.

    There are lots of pieces in that puzzle, and I'm not likely to spring for the PinePhone hardware. But PlasmaM may be a viable option for a side project – I could pick away at it to vent frustrations with Android. I even see one of my old phones mentioned - the MotoG6 on which some have had some porting success.

    (GrapheneOS sounds nice, but it's all Google Pixel hardware :frownyFace )

  24. Прошила OnePlus 6 на #postmarketOS с #PlasmaMobile, а значит, у меня будет чем заняться на выходных!

  26. Het smartphonelandschap wordt gecontroleerd door twee grote Amerikaanse technologiebedrijven: Google en Apple. Hoe mooi zou het zijn als er een Linux-distributie voor de telefoon is dat niet gecontroleerd wordt door een commercieel bedrijf, dat gebruikers geen propriëtaire en online diensten opdringt en je privacy wel respecteert?

    Op de NLUUG voorjaarsconferentie van 7 mei 2026 zal Bart Ribbers #PostmarketOS introduceren en laten zien hoe ver dit FOSS initiatief voor de smartphone ondertussen gekomen is.

    With tech companies investing heavily in building out the infrastructure for AI systems that you may or may not have asked for, prices for certain PC components have shot through the roof as manufacturers struggle to keep up with demand. GPUs were the first casualty, and now RAM and SSDs are seeing major price hikes as well.
