For those using Linux on mobile, an old used phone to put postmarketOS on and that has many working features? (like under 100€/150€)
I would really like to try it, especially to try GNOME Shell Mobile and several Libadwaita apps
I don't know if the list on postmarketOS Wiki is up to date (definitely yes)

I really cannot express how much sorrow and dread I'm feeling right now.
I'm digging this new #Flathub section promoting mobile apps!

The first postmarketOS edge images with systemd are now available, lots more are building as of writing!
See the updated edge blog post for more information:
https://postmarketos.org/edge/2025/01/09/systemd-soon/
Huge thanks to everybody who has been involved in making this possible!
We plan to merge systemd into postmarketOS edge tomorrow (Friday, 2025-01-10)
Please note that it will take some time until all systemd related packages and images are built, and that pmaports CI and building your own images may not behave as expected on this day.

fedi is such a place because you will meet someone who just posts “mraow meow im a silly kibty :3” and find out they are a core contributor to a programming language used by millions, or that they are a top security researcher in their field
Alpine Linux 3.21.1 has been released. This includes U-Boot tarballs for riscv64 and StarFive VisionFive2 boards.

not that i'd recommend it just yet (just a few more weeks!!!) but it is possible to switch your existing #postmarketOS openrc installation over to vastly superior #systemd
the future is now old man
I've just opened an MR to postmarketos-release-upgrade to script this, but it's not difficult to do by hand either.

Here's a demo (at 2x speed) of this in action
Transnational hacking and FOSS bonding in action! Family trip brought me across the Atlantic, but got a chance to meet @pan and bring a FairPhone for development. It's amazing when we can not only hack, but also meet and enjoy the human part of it :)
Are you curious about our new infrastructure and can't wait to see what's possible? Yes? Now, you get your hands on an early testing version. We have set up a first test instance of the FOSS Public Alert Server for you to play with under https://alerts.volkerkrause.eu. To use it, you can install a pre-release of #FOSSWarn https://github.com/nucleus-ffm/foss_warn/releases/tag/pre-1.0.0-alpha_0
(Be aware that this release is not yet ready for production and is for testing only)
Any questions? Find us on the #38c3

Ok, so as I’m closing to a highscore release, there’s a specific thing I want to know. How many people are still using gnome-games or (never released but I know a few distros packaged it anyway) pre-rewrite highscore?
The reason I’m wondering is - data migration. If there’s a lot of people still using the old app, I will have to have a simple way to migrate data from it. If not, I don’t need to bother ^^
I have a feeling that it’s not a lot of people, since gnome-games is EOLed on flathub and was dropped from everywhere since it was never ported away from tracker 2.x, but you never know, so asking anyway.
If you’re using it, please reply. Otherwise, please boost
if you're interested in actually overthrowing Big Android (rather than living off Googles scraps) be sure to come by the #LinuxMobile assembly this congress. There's a revolution brewing :3
