#postmarketos — Public Fediverse posts

There is an upcoming conference in Dec in #London that would be great if we could get a talk about #GTK on android. It's a neat little 2 day conference.

https://sessionize.com/droidcon-london-2026/

CfP is open! Anybody interested in putting in a talk?

#PostmarketOS: #expressatt: 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

https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/9490

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

No way! RPi Zero W (the 32 bit one?)

This is beyond fantastic! I really wanted something small and capable of using old/spare hardware. Currently, I have an old OnePlus5T running #GoToSocial (Postgres + Split domain) on #postmarketos

I feel modern software development neglects / underestimates older hardware. I mean even #pihole with a large blocklist running on #DietPi makes the RPi0 sluggish.

If LittleFedi can work on #postmarketos , a LOT of phone hardware can be revalorised!

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!

🔗 https://interfacinglinux.com/community/sbcsoftware/native-steam-client-for-arm-linux/

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! 🐧🎮

I'm super-excited that the #LinuxOnMobile stand will be returning to #FOSDEM in 2026!

Last year we had an amazing experience meeting fellow enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

This year we plan to have even more phones, devices and distros for you to play with.

We're not the only FOSS/mobile stand and with any luck we'll be close together like last year.

Dear Fediverse,

Do you have a podcast you would be happy having archived?

I've been working on a mad project combining #cyberdecks #homelab mini racks and #recycling old tech. I'm in the process of writing it all up so hopefully will publish soon.
It means I've got a portable low power pseudo-server cluster which would work well as an archive - I recently read that podcasts are at risk of disappearing and while #internetarchive does a wonderful job I thought it would be fun to have another archive.

Let me know if you are interested! I only want to host podcasts if given permission

#archive #solarpunk #solarpanels #postmarketos #podcast

This #ptyxis terminal looks pretty sweet. I installed it on my #PostmarketOS box, but it was kind of heavy for such a low-power machine. It also didn't seem to come with a fraction of the colour schemes I would want to use and I don't have time to roll them by hand.

But the #podman integration was pretty sweet!

@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 got dualboot of #postmarketOS and #AsteroidOS working on my Fossil Gen 6 (hoki)!

#lk2nd is installed to boot partition and #postmarketOS is flashed to userdata partition.
#AsteroidOS kernel is installed to recovery and rootfs flashed to the system partition.

That way I am flexible to re-flash eather system without getting trouble with the other one!

Is anyone out there using Xiaomi Mi 9T with postmarketOS?

What’s the experience like? What works and what doesn’t?
Especially curious about calls, battery, camera, and audio.

Which of these two smartphones should I buy to run postmarketOS?
#postmarketos #mobilelinux #phosh #gnomeonmobile

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

@esoteric_programmer nice! I unfortunately missed that era, as my family had "only" a Nokia 1100 at home, but I read about them later. I wish #Symbian and its kind were still a thing (well, maybe #postmarketOS and #Mobian are the modern equivalents?)

There's a matrix client for #KaiOS called chooj, developed by @farooqkz

Just discovered a cool feature on my GNOME mobile phone—if you tap the clock/date in the top bar, it opens quick access to the calendar, weather, and world clocks (just like the desktop version!). Really handy! 👍

Die IT-highlights des Wochenendes bisher:

1. #pinetime ist bestellt, großartige #smartwatch mit offener hard-/software. Funktioniert mit #ios #android und #linux kann sogar mein #postmarketos telefon damit steuern.

2. ein paar neue #shelly glühbirnen bestellt. Solides Produkt. Kein #Cloudzwang!

3. Vorrat an 10Gb-fähigen Netzwerkkabeln aufgestockt.

Ich bestelle grundsätzlich lieber bei #reichelt als bei #amazon, auch wenns billiger wäre.

@peja How exactly is #Gnome mobile different from #Phosh? It looks very similar.

#Librem5 battery life on
#postmarketOS (5.9.16-librem5.2), day 5:

Today I used it for all my social media again. I disconnected from the charger at 8:40 am, and the phone had shut down when I tried to use it after doing something the Librem 5 can't (taking a nap) at 4:50 pm. I used #Cawbird, #Tootle and #Giara, and #Nheko and also Firefox. The modem was on for the entire time, WiFi in the morning and after 2 pm.

#Librem5 battery life on
#postmarketOS (5.9.16-librem5.2), day 4:

Today I used it for all my social media. I disconnected from the charger at 8:28 am, battery lasted until 4:46 pm (3%) when I plugged it in. I used #Cawbird, #Tootle and #Giara. Also I used #Nheko a bit during lunch break and checked my email in #Geary. The modem was on for the entire time, WiFi only from 1pm forward.
