@newbyte @chfkch oh I see myself as number 1. and I can with 100% accuracy that at least 50% is a lie.

I don't even consider writing another blog about it. I think the first one suffice.

@newbyte @chfkch when this got out? The pmOS people told they will release it, but I never saw the link.

@chfkch I already wrote one blog about it, so I didn't want to repeat it. Myself I consider most of people working on pmOS very much good people, but that's not what is this post about.

#postmarketOS #MobileLinux #LinuxMobile

The rest of the day is dedicated to hands-on work, discussions, and collaboration on areas like kernel mainlining, bootloaders ( #uboot ), packaging for mobile distributions, and preparation for upcoming community events such as #FOSDEM2026 .

Těšíme se na všechny!

On Tuesday, January 13, 2025 there will be happening 5th Mobile Hackday in Prague.

The event focuses on Linux on mobile devices, kernel development, and practical hacking around mobile platforms.

The day will include short lightning talks on topics such as:
* sending Linux kernel patches using b4 #LinuxKernel
* what makes a high-quality commit (in the kernel and beyond) #QA
* a NixOS Mobile demo #NixOS

I managed to get the Pixel 3 and 3 XL in with very basic support (version 8 merged today). Thanks to everyone who contributed and for all the effort put into it! #Pixel3 #Pixel3XL #MobileLinux #LinuxMobile

The huge value of mainline based phones is the longevity and relatively low-cost of supporting the phone for many upcoming years. This cannot be reasonable done for Android based devices (at least not at voluteering scale, without having many full-time employees).

> If you don’t want to follow my route and burn your money to test everything what is available you can also choose to pre-order the FLX1s and support most polished and complete linux smartphone today.

While this is a lovely statement, I would prefer to not burn money on Android based phone as FLX1s.

Having mainline support for your hardware isn't easy nor cheap. It requires huge investment. I'll rather continue working on OnePlus 6/6T support until it can be daily driven by regular users.
