Due to personal health issues (nothing too critical, don't worry), Peter won't be able to publish a "Weekly #MobileLinux Update" post this weekend. The current plan is to have a combined post about two weeks on the 8th of March. Sorry about that! If you're impatient you can always use the […]

#Linux phone being all Linuxy.

i'm back from vacay and at MNT to catch up on lots of stuff! also started to process everything and one thing that pops into my mind is how we had 2 pocket reforms as our only computers (except android phones) and thinking about how to get them from "it mostly works" to a "delightful" shape […]

While #phosh handles centered notches and rounded corners out of the box (as long as there's device info in gmobile) we didn't handle notches on the right or left display corners at all yet.. A merge request from Eugene Lepshy to add support for the […] [Original post on ruhr.social]

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (08/2025): Cameras and Project Updates https://linmob.net/weekly-update-08-2025/ #LinuxMobile #Mobian #UbuntuTouch #SailfishOS #postmarketOS #libobscura #FuriLabsFLX1 #PinePhone #Librem5

Woohoo, #libobscura returned an image from the #librem5 ! ``` Buffer size: 823296, seq: 0, timestamp: 18178.362439 [s] Writing to frame.GRBG ``` Now I'm scared to look at the data. It's probably garbage. But the proof of concept is there: you can treat the Media Controller API as a database […]

it's a lazy thursday #cats #catsofmastodon #shotonlibrem5 #everyday #is #caturday

As there's often the question how to move the cursor when using phosh-osk-stub as OSK: Here's a short demo. If you *really* want cursor keys one can add add them as keys to the terminal layout's shortcut bar via gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.osk.Terminal […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (07/2025): Reviews and Improvements https://linmob.net/weekly-update-07-2025/ #FuriLabsFLX1 #PureOS #PinePhone #LIbrem5 #LinuxMobile #postmarketOS #UbuntuTouch #SailfishOS #liberuxNexx

77 commits later, and #libobscura has a scripting system good enough to initialize a #USB #Camera So it's back to the same functionality, except with extra complexity, lol. Next up: organize the commits (don't leave a mess if you want contributors) and make sure #librem5 works the same way.

Maartje got a 20 year old game working bohoo… No Maartje got a 20 year old windows game working on a non mainline ARM64 laptop 🥺 Finally got smooth rendering on high ground with Vulkan!

Many years ago I spent some time playing with running a graphical interface from chrooted Debian userspace on a jailbroken 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite. I posted a video that showed it and called it "Debian on Kindle Paperwhite". Some tech media had then […] [Original post on social.librem.one]

We can keep discussing about kernels, drivers and which are "true" Linux phones and which are not, or we can focus on getting as many people on the FOSS phone ecosystem and improving the rather sorry state of so many applications, and I would VERY much prefer the latter #LinuxMobile […]

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/

Another banger of an MR finally merged after years of work! Really looking forward to a smoother #GNOME experience on my laptop.

I say that almost every year. But I love the time the @fsfe website https://fsfe.org turns red for #ilovefs

❤️ Thank you to the @postmarketOS community, the contributors to @gnome + #Posh ( @agx ), the Plasma mobile contributors from @kde and others in the community who make the programs mobile friendly, and many others who are working for many years now on #GNU #Linux for mobile phones! I highly […]

Marcan steps away from Asahi. What a damn heartbreaking thing this is. Even if you think his approach to handling people sucks, he was willing to do some important work that nobody else was willing to touch, and his technical knowledge was unparalleled […]

Impressive to see that #AndroidAbstractionLayer now seems to support running #AntennaPod Android version on #Linux :D #mobileLinux #postmarketOS https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/merge_requests/141

No way, they finally merged it. Over five years of work.

We stand in solidarity with our friends at @Codeberg. No project should have to deal with this kind of abuse and we applaud their efforts to tackle it and protect their community. If you share our desire for truly free software and infrastructure that doesn't harvest your data, and have to the […]

Morality beats neutrality. Taking a neutral stance is taking the complicit stance, if not enabling. There is no such thing as true neutrality. You either choose to move forward, to benefit all, or stubbornly stand still, to benefit the status quo.

I always wanted a simple way to put the phone to silent mode when e.g. placing it on the table next to the 🛏️ . Since Biemster got NFC to work on the Oneplus 6/6T (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/blob/main/nxp_nci_i2c.py) we can leverage that […] [Original post on ruhr.social]

Here's a another review of the #FurilabsFLX1. In a way, it's also a review of #Phosh and #GnomeApps by @BrodieOnLinux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIQdthHMrK4&t=1333

#postmarketos #linuxmobile an annoying power management problem: VCM/Lens drivers typically just `pm_runtime_get` on `open()` and `pm_runtime_put` on `close()`… so these devices only get autosuspended when they aren't held open by anyone… and VERY HELPFULLY pipewire&wireplumber (via […]

First photo taken with and directly posted from the Moto E5 with #postmarketOS yay #linuxmobile (don't have a driver for the focus coil on this yet so the rear cam is blurry for now)

Guys, I can't believe it, open source VRChat is here. It's called @overte and it's actually fast. It supports hundreds of people in a single instance and the editor is actually built into the game. You can hang out with your friends and make worlds together […] [Original post on ma.fellr.net]
