Ok, so the day has come. On the context of getting "/usr merge" on alpine, I am going to try update the FHS.
9 years after it was updated, big parts of it are out-of-sync with the current Linux distro conventions.
We (@postmarketOS) already pinged the @linuxfoundation about it in February, and their suggestion was to get somebody interested to do the work. So let's start that process now! Since the FHS mailing list seems defunc (I subscribed and sent an email in February that never got added to the archive), please send me an email at pabloyoyoista@postmarketos.org so we can get a list of people to start discussing the process

Pixel 3 up and running (again again again), huge props to @drakulix for getting things rebased and fixing all the regressions and weird new issues.
Outreachy is getting squeezed financially from reduced funding related to diversity programs and reduced funding for open source orgs. Can you help us spread the word about how important the program is and help us connect to folks who might contribute funding?

A few days ago someone opened a GTK PR for Android support. That is awesome!
Since December 2023 postmarketOS has been collecting donations transparently through Open Collective. Here's an update on where we are standing financially.
Huge thanks to everybody who is making this possible! ❤️

This is the Unfettered Keyboard, my newly released on-screen keyboard (re-)written in #Rust for #linuxmobile. It takes heavy inspiration from the Unexpected Keyboard for Android (even using the same XML layout format) and lets you type at least 69 characters on the default layout without switching. Not shown is support for Ctrl+Shift keyboard shortcuts with the two levels of the keymap.

It's fair to say we had a fantastic time in Colorado (and Berlin!) for GUADEC 2024.
Off the back of the event, Martín Abente Lahaye has published a conference round-up, including some highlights from his time in Denver.
Thanks to the GNOME Foundation, volunteers, staff, and everyone else who made the event unforgettable.

1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.
I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck
