Finally got round to writing my blog post about daily driving #PostmarketOS on a OnePlus 6 https://clubb.cymru/2025/07/05/ditching-android/
#MobileLinux or is it #LinuxMobile
Thanks so much to everybody who has made this possible!

Let's be honest: They are kinda shitty, but I dig the mood.
Thanks to everyone who made the OnePlus 6 camera driver happen.

Note also the various GNU-like #MobileLinux variants -- see @linmob and things like @phosh #pureos #mobian #postmarketos
It would be great if Signal could become more friendly to those and not assume that everyone must use Andriod or iOS. Andriod or iOS are things of the past, we need to move away from those towards alternatives that put the user's freedom and privacy front and center.

I did a thing. while working on native NFC capabilities, i ended up writing a test program which reads all the info from EMV cards (such as Visa/Master/Amex) and dumps it to try and learn the payload.
the info shown in the #GTK interface is fairly basic mostly as demo, but it dumps a lot more to the shell:

it may be possible to use this for malicious purposes with the right skill set, so please use it responsibly =)
It is so cool!
I am by no means an expert in those things but I got a linux OS running on a new smartphone.
This is a Fairphone 6 running PostmarketOS with Phosh and I love it.
Thank you @postmarketOS @phosh for all the great work.
This post was sent from the fairphone with @Tuba 
A really great software for the fediverse even on a small mobile screen.

@devrtz thanks for that. It is a major milestone to achieve must-have features for daily drivers. Gracias! #mobilelinux
Posting this from PinePhone running postmarketOS 25.06 with Phosh.
It's unbelievable how smooth of an experience this release is!
I know PP is very underpowered but I just love this hacky little phone and it's just so great to see it keep getting updates that make the experience better and better.
You can now support #Phosh, the desktop for #MobileLinux with donations, because there is a formal organization:
postmarketOS 25.06 brings systemd to the mobile Linux distribution, as well as updates to three user interfaces: GNOME 48, KDE Plasma Mobiule 6.35, and Phosh 0.47.0, a new wallpaper, and other changes. https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/06/22/v25.06-release/ #postmarketOS #MobileLinux #LinuxSmartphones
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/
This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!

Is there a good writeup / overview on how cameras on mainline #mobilelinux work and where you can tweak things?
I'm asking because the back camera on my #pixel3a flashes and the picture sometimes freezes and I would like to look into fixing this. I just have no Idea how cameras work on linux and I'm unsure where to start.
@furilabs have you considered moving away from Github (owned by Microsoft)?
For someone like me who is looking for independence from "Big Tech", seeing that you are on Github is a really bad sign, and it makes me reluctant to contribute.
Look at others, like Gnome, Purism, postmarketOS, Mobian, and so on, they all use something else. I think they know that Github is bad for them, both in practice and in principle.
This interview with the Liberux team about the work-in-progress NEXX phone with an RK3588S processor and Linux-based software goes into pricing, hardware, software, accessories, and much more. https://linmob.net/liberux-nexx-an-interview-with-liberux/ #LinuxSmartphones #MobileLinux #LiberuxNexx #Liberux
The CEO of #Purism, the company behind the only smartphone made in the U.S.—says the Trump T1 device actually matches the specifications of a Wingtech phone made in China.
Well... new instance, new introduction.
Hi, I'm hexaheximal. I'm a software developer by day... and... uhh... also by night.
I use desktop #Linux as well as #MobileLinux (more specifically #PostMarketOS) quite extensively, and enjoy doing so.
Occasionally I try making things other than software projects as well, but not as frequently. I also have a blog at https://hexaheximal.com/blog, although I don't use it often.
KRetro is now an official (wip) KDE app!! If you like retro games and have wanted a native Qt/Kirigami Libretro frontend for Plasma (and Plasma Mobile), this is it!
It's not released yet (name is still subject to change too), and there is still a lot to do, but please do come and test/contribute: https://invent.kde.org/games/kretro
(Also special thanks for @carl for his help!)
