Blogged about running Linux on my phone, the user experience, and the ecosystem that comes with it. Extremely excited about this!

omg of course Mastodon picked the FluffyChat-greenified picture
I swear the phone can take nicer pictures! Here's my cat:

@allpurposemat o/ (hello from a Moto G7 with #postmarketos)
re: "I don't want to set my system default shell to fish as it's not POSIX-compliant" – there is no such thing as a *system* default shell really, what chsh sets is your *user* login shell which has always been fine to use a non posix one as! (the BSDs historically used (t)csh as the default login shell)
also pure black is not nearly as important as you think for amoled. dark gray saves almost as much power

@allpurposemat Huh, Plasma Mobile was broken for you? Do you have a bug report?

@valpackett hi! Interesting about the shell. I remember using chsh on Arch and having weird issues, so I never trusted it. fish docs also say to not set it as default. I've been digging and I think kgx has a hidden setting in dconf to change the shell, so I might just use that.

@valpackett wrt the black theme, my motivation isn't power usage (there are more significant savings to be had elsewhere, like the shell using 100% cpu), it's just the looks of the system. Especially when it's dark, I find OLED themes much easier on the eyes, and in general more pleasing to look at.

@bart it was yes! At the time (over a month ago) I was told there was a packaging issue, which I believe is now fixed... but I haven't tried it yet.
