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

@elly
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) -
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 ?

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.

Liebes Fediverse.
Meine bisherige Instanz bei Anoxinon liegt leider im Koma. Daher einmal #neuhier
Ich interessiere mich für #kunst, #musik und #freiesoftware.
Ich mache lehrreiche Videos zu #linux und #selfhosting die ihr auf #peertube findet: https://tube.sp-codes.de/c/tuxwiz/videos
Meine Leidenschaft sind #linuxmobile Handys mit #postmarketos und ich nutze dort einen Tiling Windowmanaget namens #sway mit #sxmo.
Wer hier nur noch #bahnhof versteht, dem empfehle ich meine #podcast Folge bei #gnulinux_ch : https://gnulinux.ch/ciw089-podcast
Ich würde mich über #austausch mit euch sehr freuen und bin auf euch gespannt. Gerne auch #retoot für mehr Reichweite.

@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.
-
@alexziemianski @thelinuxEXP second this. #Lomiri is supported by #postmarketOS too, and new UIs can be added just by installing postmarketos-ui-* packages
-
Good news: Your #Purism #Librem5 will soon be able to turn into a ship when running #postmarketOS with systemd: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/8972

So I now have two #Qualcomm devices: a #sdm670 (my previous phone, was starting to randomly reboot occasionally, which smells like impending hardware failure but otherwise in good condition to test things out) and a #sc7280 (currently on official Android) in reasonable state to eventually run #postmarketOS.

🎉 systemd Lands Experimental Support For musl libc - Phoronix
「 Systemd today finally merged support for building against and using the musl libc library. This is a win for Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Alpine Linux, and others that use musl by default as their standard C library or offer it as an option. 」

@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...

CW: mobile-config-firefox, happiness, alpine
@linmob This was unexpected for me, ancient Debian Bullseye-based #PureOS Byzantium getting the latest #FirefoxESR long before comparatively bleeding-edge Alpine-based #postmarketOS. I've been checking it's packaging status in #Alpine 3.22 every few days!

@triskelion @purism I appreciate what GrapheneOS and other projects are doing. I wish gOS good luck in:
- getting early access to future #AOSP sources as development is no longer public.
- fixing the myriad of #Google shenanigans with the OS and Chromium.
- getting mental health help for the main developer - he deserves all the help he can get.Unlike gOS, #Linuxphone development is not riding on decades of Google funded development of the OS. Progress is therefore slower but it is improving gradually.
Besides #PureOS, there is also #Mobian and #postmarketOS - I especially look forward to the latter's future #ImmutableOS version which would have security benefits as well.

Any one out there owning a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e (Wifi edition) and willing to help porting PostmarketOS to this device?
I got the downstream LineagOS device specific kernel booting on my device.
Currently no display working but ssh over usb is working.Next step would be to get the mainline kernel booting on the device. This should not be to difficult for someone with experience, as the soc (sdm670) has already mainline support.

Lilbits: Pixel 8a could cost more than the Pixel 7a, and Surface Pro 10 could have an OLED display
Details about the Google Pixel 8a have been leaking for months, but launch day could be coming soon, as WinFuture has found product listings at some retail websites… including some references to the price tag, which indicate that Google’s next mid-range phone will be pricier than its last.
