Going to try out Duranium on my old pixel 3. So glad I didn't sell that when I was offloading things. Immutable postmarketOS sounds like such a fun project to tinker with.

Today, I attempted to do a release upgrade of #PostmarketOS on my #PinePhone. I started out with errors on two packages which prevented the upgrade from happening (and which weren't fixable with "apk fix").
Uninstalling those -- fortunately not critical -- and I got the upgrade script to run. Now I'm left with a console login on the phone screen, with no on-screen keyboard. I think a reinstall is in order.
I remain sadly unconvinced by the usability (at all) of PostmarketOS.

Really nice job @fun tracking down **and** fixing a 20 year old bug in #openrc 🎉

and everyone involved:
THANKS FOR THE sdm845 KERNEL UPGRADE! 🎉

Finally I have managed to flash #postmarketOS onto my old Nexus 7 tablet, the only device I have that supports pmOS.
It took some attempts (...a lot of attempts) to get into APX mode and do the whole backup the bootloader and flash u-boot thing, and accidentally bricking the bootloader once during the process, before I could actually flash the pmOS image onto it.
So cool! ...Well, it doesn't have hardware acceleration, XFCE is not really intended for touchscreen devices, and in general it seems slow even when I'm connected via SSH.

зарядить планшет (Samsung Galaxy Tab A) на постмаркете - тот ещё квест
там надо как-то по-особому воткнуть кабель, чтобы он заряжался, вероятно, драйвер под это дело кривой, а ещё он не показывает, заряжается ли он, - надо сделать `cat /sys/class/power_supply/max170xx_battery/current_now` (я, конечно, эту команду добавила в .bashrc под оч коротким алиасом)
пыталась сегодня ночью заряжать его в режиме фастбута - вдруг там с драйвером лучше, он за ночь зарядился процентов на 15 :neocat_floof_googly_woozy_shocked:
@rf @stephanie может, у кого-то будут идеи, как с этим бороться?

My Sunday challenge: installing #Devuan in place of #OpenBSD on my laptop so I can install #postmarketOS on an old tablet, because for some reason I only have a blue USB port on that laptop (my SFF PC has a whole bunch of USB ports, but none are blue). Let's see how well restoring the backup will work once I reinstall OpenBSD.
I wonder how many years worth of work would it take to create a #NetBSD / #smolBSD based mobile distro after #postmarketOS has done more progress...

снова на #postmarketOS! (ну вот ничему меня жизнь не учит :neofox_laugh_sweat: )

On a mildly related note, I think the "why is my #PostmarketOS phone always clicking" question is either:
- my living room having poor reception and the alert for my phone reconnecting to the cellular network, OR
- the battery being as full as the prototype charging device driver for my specific phone wants to allow, and the phone cycling between charging and draining.

/e/OS works well on my newly acquired Fairphone 4 and I like it more than I thought so I am in no hurry to switch. Still, I would love to use proper #LinuxMobile eventually and even tho I have no clue what "Partially" exactly refers to on the #PostmarketOS wiki it doesn't look too bad. Dose anyone know details on how well if at all the camera, battery life, audio and most importantly phone calls work on the device rn and what's needed to complete the implementations?

Мне дали денег на новый телефон, но Android — это слишком скучно, поэтому я хочу себе #линуксофон на #postmarketOS.
Не хотелось бы покупать девайс у совсем уж незнакомых людей на Авито, так что сначала спрошу здесь, вдруг кто-то хочет свой продать. Бюджет — в пределах 15 килорублей.
Если есть советы по покупке, или вы хотите меня отговорить, то тоже пишите.

I guess it's impossible to remove Google from Android phones. I have disabled Google, but cannot delete it. And it re-enabled itself later. The only way out of this, I'm thinking, is an alternative operating system for the phone.

Apart from supported devices, what are the deciding factors to choose between @mobian and @postmarketOS ?
Building for Mobian is easy in docker (we use https://tangled.org/me.webbeef.org/beaver/blob/main/support/docker/Dockerfile.arm64), not sure if pmbootstrap is also usable in CI? Ideally we would create updatable images with cage (https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage) as the wayland compositor and Beaver as the user environment.

#pine64 support seem to be trolling me. I reported that wifi chip stopped working within ~15 minutes, and their response so far has been:
- Gaslight me and try to convince me there is no problem
- Try to convince me my phone wasn't charged enough for wifi+bt chip to work.
- Try to convince me that even though battery is charged, it doesn't have "enough voltage" just for this one chip while everything else works
It is almost as if they just want me to go away and stop complaining.

@brainblasted I have a branch with quickshell on alpine now. DMS needs some tweaks for min-width but it seems pretty promising. :) #postmarketos #niri
