I'm looking to de-Google my Xiaomi Redmi A5 and I'm not sure which route to take.
Has anyone successfully de-Googled a Xiaomi Redmi A5? If so, which OS did you use and what was your experience like? @postmarketOS @mobian @linmob @ubuntu@a.gup.pe @ubuntu@ubuntu.social @omgubuntu

At #defcon #defcon33 come check out the #postmarketos table in the OSCommunity space, we got a random asus laptop and a pinephone pro, as well as stickers, makercoins and a Ranny there!

I'm gonna be hacking on #postmarketOS this morning at the Insomnia Coffee in downtown Hillsboro (near #pdx) on Main St. All are welcome to join if you wanna talk about Linux phones, distros, or whatever

Are any people here coming to #WHY2025 and want to hack on Linux Mobile/postmarketOS?

I've made a Matrix chatroom to organize a bit https://matrix.to/#/#why2025-linux-mobile:z3ntu.xyz

Pytanie do naszej fedi spoleczności:
Co macie zainstalowane na swoich sprzętach? Z czego korzystacie na codzień?

Może zacznę od siebie:
Pecet: #CachyOS, laptop: #Arch
Przeglądarka: #Firefox + uBlock, uMatrix, betterfox
Rpi: #LibreELEC + kilka dockerów
Telefon: #GrapheneOS, przeglądarka #ironfox
Telefon_2: #PostmarketOS z #Phosh
Router: #OpenWRT z #Luci + bloker reklam
Odkurzacz: #Valetudo

Ciekaw jestem waszych wyborów. Może podpatrzę coś ciekawego?
A może sami macie jakieś pytania do mojej konfiguracji?

Come visit @anjan and me at the #postmarketOS table at @FOSSY today through Sunday, it'll be fun

Hello #Fediverse !

This is < polycule > - a geeky and efficient [matrix] client for power users.

We finally made it to the Fediverse. We focus on a geeky and accessible user interface written in Flutter aiming to target Linux mobile and Android.

If you're curious on past toots, check out @braid's toots on #PolyculeClient !

@matrix

Who wants to see #GNOME running on an #immutable install of #postmarketOS?

This is just one of the few things we'll be showing off at the pmOS table at #FOSSY, starting tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

Duck Facts on your homescreen? It's more likely than you'd think!

@anjan and I will be running a #postmarketOS table in a few days at #fossy2025 in Portland, OR.

Come on by if you wanna chat about running real Linux on phones, any of the stuff we're working on these days, or just wanna say hi

Huge news! I solved the issue with audio crackling in Waydroid by replacing Pulseaudio with Pipewire! Why Pulseaudio is still being default at this point is beyond me!

$ doas apk add postmarketos-base-ui-audio-pipewire

Had some fun today getting systemd-sysupdate wired up for updating A/B slots in an immutable #postmarketOS install

I tried to capture a demo of it working, with `mkosi vm` to boot the image:

https://asciinema.org/a/vWVuZQQVC9kXGkxGpGCn8rNwp

The updates are currently local, the final design will have updates fetched over https and verified.

PS: This is my first asciinema thing and I'm not sure if I'm holding it correctly... so if anyone has tips on how to make this suck less in the future...

Has anyone experience with #postmarketos on the #fairphone5? I am think to preorder the #fairphone6 from #iode and use the 5 for installation postmarketos

For fun I wanted to try coming up with my idea for a postmarketOS mascot.
(this is totally unofficial btw! I hope folks from @postmarketOS dont mind.)

I made the initial sketch in Krita, but then decided to finally give Inkscape a try, took me whole weekend but it's here!

Robot bnuuy.

Also shout out to @RannyBergamotte who came up with the cute little stick arm version of pmOS logo, I had to include it!

Today I reached a pretty cool milestone in my work to build an immutable #postmarketOS: the first configurable bootup with an encrypted user data partition and read-only /usr (for A/B updates)

Still lots more work to do though, but please enjoy this janky recording of me trying it out in a VM

Thanks to @nlnet for sponsoring this work :D

8-Core ARM Pocket Computer Runs NixOS - What has 8 ARM cores, 8 GB of RAM, fits in a pocket, and runs NixOS? It’s no pi-cl... - https://hackaday.com/2025/07/17/8-core-arm-pocket-computer-runs-nixos/ #mobile-nixos #postmarketos #phonehacks #linuxphone #oneplus6

This feels super awkward to ask, but I'm trying to crowdfund a used M2 MacBook for #postmarketOS development. My current ARM laptop can't safely run VMs (have to choose between virtualization or battery monitoring ). Daily-driving new hardware has helped me improve other ports (e.g. ThinkPad X13s), so this would help me work more efficiently and advance the M-series port in pmOS!
