Before I bite the proverbial bullet. Is someone on the #fediverse using a #Fairphone 5 with #PostmarketOS edge on it ? Is it as good as the wiki suggests ? What are the gotchas apart from the documented ones on the wiki?
Please boost ❤️

When your other half tells you to just buy the #Fairphone 5 for your #LinuxMobile dream and you hesitate wondering if you should or not. Is it a trap? 🙄
Time flies 🚀: Exactly one year ago we had our association's founding meeting 🥳.
Looking forward to the next year of developing and promoting #Phosh and the #LinuxMobile ecosystem, working towards user friendly #DigitalFreedom and #DigitalIndependence (nowadays often called #DigitalSovereignity) for the devices we carry in our pockets very day 📱.
Our next booth will be at #CLT2026 in Chemnitz, meet us there.
Maybe its just anecdotal but it seems that in previous eras attempts at #opensource mobile, #linuxmobile etc were targeting low end devices, whereas now they seem to be targeting the latest "mainstream".
The most extreme low end effort was maybe the #firefoxos ZTE devices, cute little plasticky things.
The difference can be quite material (> 500 versus < 200 in some monetary units).
No idea what best strategy to reach mass adoption but maybe chasing the giant phone selfie crowd is not it? 🤣
Just added compass support to Charon, which was surprisingly easy thanks to iio-sensor-proxy.
Seit ich vorgestern mein GrapheneOS auf Android 16 gehoben hab, scrollt es manchmal viel zu schnell (reproduzierbar). Ob das eine Einstellung ist, die geändert wurde?
Ansonsten hat das Update nämlich auch sonst einige Werte geändert. Und sieht auch noch doof aus. Zeit für Linux...
@alsutton hello, too. Can't wait to have it as a daily driver. 😃 #postmarketos #fairphone #linuxmobile
We have updated our AI policy to explicitly forbid generative AI. This and more in our latest monthly blog post "postmarketOS in 2026-02: generic kernels" :zoop:

@PerryPeak ah yes I keep mixing that up and thinking pinephone have their own distro
This is my review of the FLX1 phone from @FuriLabs. I've been using this phone for about 3 years as a daily driver. I am very happy with it! My banking app works, which is great, Android apps work very well in general. Plenty of settings and updates are monthly. There are glitches: flickering of the screen that I can't stop unless I remove the battery, that happens when I press power button twice; and artifacts being left back when uninstalling Android apps.
Coulr is now working well on #linuxmobile (before latest version, it had a fixed non-resizable window).
Post written with Tuba in #postmarketos on my all new OP6t (and first linux phone) 😀️
The finale batch of Jolla C2 devices has landed in Tampere and is ready to be shipped to customers: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/update-on-jolla-c2-q4-25-production-batch/25420/35?u=frankps
If you want a #SailfishOS phone there is only a few preorders left for the upcoming community phone, J2: https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder
I've installed @postmarketOS with Phosh and systemd (!) back onto my OnePlus6T. Waydroid works surprisingly well too.
What's a good starting point for contributing to the linux on mobile experience? #linuxmobile
Just released a new version of Catacomb & Epitaph.
Catacomb's main changes are the automatic calculation of a device's scale and the ability to define deadzones for devices with rounded corners and camera cutouts.
Epitaph now allows full configuration of its modules based on device orientation, which should also help with devices that have cutouts.

Sweet! Just got myself a small external foldable Bluetooth keyboard for my Jolla C2 phone with support for the Nordic letters Æ, Ø and Å from Voxicon.
WOW - It works really well and is so handy when the computer is not with me…

Come on #LinuxMobile people, we're very close to the 10k mark for the new #SailfishOS #Jolla2 phone. Reaching that, @jolla will open source "The Other Half", the amazing changeable backplate with hardware accessories the #Jolla1 already had.
For this weekend of #postmarketOS #linuxmobile #mainlining I have put together what I had for the Moto G7 into a coherent pull request to @barni2000's msm8953 branch. No exciting pictures since nothing visually changed :) just that you will be able to install it too very soon!
