The more I read about Google's proposed(?) changes to Android, the more I feel I need to invest time in @postmarketOS, to see what I would need to do to use it as my main mobile device.
Given how I use my phone, I suspect that this could be a bit of a challenge (or at least require quite a lot of compromises on my part, through no fault of the pmOS team), but perhaps a fun one(?)...
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! ❤️

#Qualcomm #Snapdragon X elite go brrrrr
got the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 booting. it's vvvv nice !
just needs some extra modules added to the initramfs and (bluergh) firmware you have to yoink from Windows if you want battery % and GPU.

Linux mobile people, you can make decent screen recordings with Kooha. So share some videos, and let's demonstrate how amazing Linux smartphones are! Settings that work best for me on OnePlus 6t are mp4 + 30fps. #postmarketos #gnomemobile #mobilelinux
#postmarketOS now boots on Barnes & Noble Nook Color!

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.
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.

Duck Facts on your homescreen? It's more likely than you'd think! 
${execp shuf -n 1 $HOME/duck-facts.txt | fold -s -w30 | sed -e 's/^/${alignc}/g'}$
Does anyone in the US want to donate (or sell to me for cheap) an Apple M1 or M2 macbook so I can:
- Improve the #postmarketOS port for this device
- Use it to speed up my pmOS development[1] because using qemu/kvm to test is soooo helpful for the work I do
😁
Edit: I set up a ko-fi thing if anyone wants to help get one for me. No pressure tho 😛

1) IIUC kvm works under linux on this, unlike on my existing qcom laptop that can't reach el2 without losing remoteprocs 🫠
