Delighted to get my monthly reminder that I'm contributing to the development of #postmarketos, one of the few bastions against the monopoly of mobile digital. My thanks to everybody who is supporting alternatives to google and apple. It's so important

This took me quite a bit of time, but I managed to boot postmarketOS on a currently unsupported devboard (commonly available for €25-30 where | live). Little bit proud, but it's not a proper port yet, I ripped the kernel and other parts of the pre-init […] [Original post on chaos.social]

If you're interested in a semi-beginner friendly contribution opportunity in #postmarketOS, we currently have an issue with using Podman/Distrobox in the Console terminal emulator. @craftyguy#postmarketosalready investigated it and found a probable root cause, so either just verifying his hypothesis or […]

Last night I opened a draft merge request to open up #postmarketos #pmbootstrap's flashing interface to more use-cases by adding a new "flash" subcommand that takes a path to any arbitrary file and the name of the partition to flash. It works like the existing flashing subcommands, i.e. no need […]

🎙️ This year we did the 3rd post-FOSDEM hackathon in a row. We figured it was about time to sit in front of a mic and share our impressions of one of those! Thanks to all the amazing people who made this hackathon possible, we were not only very productive but in a great mood as well! 😄 Special […]

I just published a tool I've been working on for ~3 years! In short, it provides a nice interface to interacting with Qualcomm register maps by allowing you to decode register address/value pairs or emit C code that can decode registers at runtime. Unfortunately this means it's only really […]

Tagged #postmarketos #pmbootstrap 3.10.1 as a small bugfix release, see https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/-/tags/3.10.1 for a full list of changes.

Very nice, #navidrome GTK4 music client Gelly on #postmarketos #oneplus6

Tagged #postmarketos #pmbootstrap 3.10.0 last night. Highlights include the install command prompting for user password and "pmOS is already installed on this medium" much earlier so you don't have to babysit it, run0 support if sudo and doas aren't installed, and UEFI boot by default for QEMU […]

:firefox: mobile-config-firefox 5.2.0 is out! The most exciting change is support for vertical tabs by @linmob. Give it a try and let us know what you think, we might make this the default in the future! Release […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

The #meshcore repeater management in #meshy completed. It took quite some tweaking to make it fit the screen of my #postmarketos phone.

Phew, finally another content update merged: https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/ (MR: https://framagit.org/linuxphoneapps/linuxphoneapps.frama.io/-/merge_requests/188)

I've been bugged by some of the #postmarketos #pmbootstrap subcommand names for a while, so I decided to finally write my thoughts down in an issue: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/-/work_items/2745 Any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome. Hearing others' […]

Heads up for edge users: Python 3.14 has been pushed to Alpine edge, consider waiting with updates a bit. Thanks to everybody who has worked on the Python 3.14 upgrade in Alpine! https://postmarketos.org/edge/2026/03/28/python-3-14/

Halftone (the dithering app) makes mobile linux photos look so good. This is like the early days of mobile apps again, except built to last and without any ads #postmarketos #shotonpmos

After the next stable release of postmarketOS (v26.06) we have decided that unmaintained devices (those where the device package doesn't have a maintainer= line in their APKBUILD) will be archived, this means the packages will no longer be built and included in our binary repository. If you […]

Looking for a cozy Sunday project? The fairly new #postmarketos documentation website docs.postmarketos.org has some low hanging fruit that might be interesting to some folks The guide for upgrading to new postmarketOS releases needs to be ported over from the wiki […]

Streaming music over mobile data and playing it on the stereo speakers \o/ Mic also works now… well the top mic at least xD #postmarketos

We're reverting back from doas to sudo, this time choosing sudo-rs as our implementation. Read our latest blog post for our reasoning. https://postmarketos.org/edge/2026/03/18/sudo-rs-instead-of-doas/

New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made. :blobcatthink: > Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No […]

Now we're cooking!! with 144Hz 🔥️ this will be the daily driving trial run device #postmarketos

Speech input is one of the missing features in #Phosh's stevia. I had looked at several possible solutions but didn't want to pull in a ton more dependencies into stevia itself. While looking for something completely different I stumbled onto #vosk-server which […] [Original post on ruhr.social]

just chatted with pablo correa gomez from @postmarketos.org re: f/oss nonprofit governance and structure, social issues, and the current tipping point in digital sovereignty. he mentioned his recent pmos finance update: postmarketos.org/blog/2026/03... ...always a delight. ❤️ #transparency

New finance blog post is up, nerding out over the 2025 budget (plan vs. execution), and the budget for 2026. The most exciting part is probably the q6voice rework and mainlining which will improve audio significantly for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile distributions on a large number of QC […]

When impressed with postmarketOS on my PinePhone. It's been running smoothly for the past 46 days.

The all-new "devel" blog is now live! https://postmarketos.org/devel/ As postmarketOS developer, it can be hard to keep up with changes in workflows and tooling, and understanding why these changes were made. @newbyte had the idea to create a blog specifically for such developer-relevant […]

Tip: if your phone doesn't have a notification LED, it is broken or not yet supported by the kernel you can use the camera flash 📸 : #peertube:https://peertube.debian.social/w/h6sSCuAZDfSQHuBJfaceCG #youtube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6IbIR2jw6-4 #linuxmobile #phosh #feedbackd

The mobile-config-firefox documentation has been split up into multiple pages (from mostly a single README.md file), was updated, and is now available at https://docs.postmarketos.org/mobile-config-firefox/ for comfortable reading. For example… with Firefox on your Linux Mobile phone! 😉 The ✏️ […]

Does anyone have an actual use-case for the "pmbootstrap apkindex_parse" subcommand? Asking because it was apparently broken for over a year and no one seemed to complain 😅 #pmbootstrap #postmarketos
