Perseverance pays off!
I have - after quite a lot of fiddling - got @postmarketOS booting on a OnePlus6, with full disk encryption enabled.
I am really excited to give this a try.

Rebooted after all packages were upgraded, and we are now at #postmarketOS 24.12 Plasma Edition on the #PinePhone! 
#pmOS #linux
Still not sure why the time shows incorrectly even after setting it correctly manually and then enabling the auto timezone sync once "America/New York" was selected. Ah well... 
Was thinking of getting a bigger #eMMC module for my #PinebookPro, but the one that was recommended was $50 for 256GiB which is a little... ridiculous.
I think I'm just going to wipe the 60GiB stock eMMC with #pmOS, fix up the loose screws, and get a 256GB microSDXC card for extra storage.

Eh, ok.
I think the FOSS Android builds deserve more credit than just being Android with a different theme. At the very least, "AOSP without Google crap plus some other niceties."
Unfortunately, there's not a lot else. I mean, yes, there's #pmOS and many other amazing projects, but given how much people live on their phones and depend on crummy things like their banking apps to work, there's not a lot of options.
It's a bad state of affairs.
If AOSP goes by the wayside, I guess I'll get a used iPhone and use it like a dumbphone. I know some folks that do that already.
I do love my FOSS Android phone, though. It's a pretty decent middle ground between privacy and "functionality."
P.S., ARM is a horrible platform. Just look at the progress of any project that tries to get a de-blobbed OS running on bare metal on any modern phone. They never make it particularly far. Even with blobs.

I have a OnePlus 6 here. It's in perfect condition but it's not been powered up for a while. I'll go charge it up and see. It might have an old #PMOS installed but should work ? I'll message you pics shortly to see if you want it or not.
I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:
- Get new rubber feet
- Get a bigger SSD
- Install #pmOS and finally have #FDE on the thing
- Put some proper locktite on the screws so it's not falling apart all the time
I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.
I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.
It's always best to try to #reuse! <3
Thinking of trying #postmarketOS on my #PinebookPro.
I didn't even know you could run it as a desktop OS.
Supposedly the installer supports #FullDiskEncryption, which is... "poggers," I think the kids say.
Love the new @postmarketOS website! It is cool to see a foss projects structure being laid out so clearly front and center (https://postmarketos.org/team/).

This #Pixel3a may be the first #postmarketOS powered device or even first #Phone EVER to build and run the #Kuroko #Python dialect!
#GitHub repo for Kuroko (made by the same guy who created ToaruOS and even he ported Kuroko to UEFI):

(Built on master branch directly from #pmOS which is cool!)
postmarketOS team hit me up if I should maintain this, it’s not in yours or Alpines repositories! /j
i am putting together a fortunes database for alpine tips. send me your favorites!
Alright, that's it! I've had enough! I'm flashing #postmarketOS for the LAST time!
Wait! What? But that would mean.....
