#megapixels 2.1.0 was just merged into #postmarketos Edge, including a fix to make it work out-of-the-box again on the original #pinephone! Performance is not as good as it used as it relies on software rendering to be but it can take photos at least, and it's markedly more usable than the main […]

I personally believe the most logical, and long-term sustainable solution with the most control to the "Android becoming more closed" threat, is to fund and support @postmarketOS and alike initiatives.

a fully decentralised solution developed by the whole FOSS ecosystem together is infinitely […]

Of course the real question on everyone's mind is "does it run Xonotic?" and the answer is, quite well for a low end phone! For this —as opposed to handling GTK UI heh— the tier of the GPU matters more than the generation, fwiw.

He is getting postmarketOS comfortable on eink and cyberdeck devices, improving rockchip support, maintaining Alpine Linux packages and learning how to mainline linux patches. Regarding eink devices, he made a bunch […]

Phosh.mobi @ FOSDEM 2026
As you may know from our announcement, Phosh.mobi members were present at FOSDEM 2026. We had a great time in Brussels and with things in the rear-view mirror, let’s share some of our experiences from the event. ## Devroom As is tradition by now, we helped organize and run the FOSS on Mobile devroom, which took place on Saturday. And we’re happy to say that it was a great success! So much so, that the devroom was always packed with a queue of people outside itching to get in. This year, we partnered up with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) folks for a full day devroom and we split the programme in roughly three parts: * Topics interesting to AOSP * Topics interesting to Mainline Linux * Topics interesting to both All recordings have been made available now, so if you missed the live-stream or didn’t make it into the room, you can now rewatch them. Here are a number of recommendations: * Collabora Office Can Finally Run on Mobile Linux * Mainline kernel for Fairphones - 2026 update * Phosh: What’s new and where are we going? * Running mainline Linux on the Unisoc-based Jolla C2 * The Linux Phone App Ecosystem (2026) * UnifiedPush - Push notifications. Decentralized and Open Source * postmarketOS: Reliability in 2026 Thanks to FOSDEM, our co-organizers and all the volunteers helping out to once more make this a memorable experience. ## Booth Apart from devroom, we were also invited to the Linux on Mobile booth where you could find us throughout the weekend. We shared the booth with Sailfish OS and AsteroidOS (thanks for having us!). Next to us you could find Furi Labs, postmarketOS, F-Droid and /e/OS and the Free Android World forming a formidable phone focussed community. Our booth was packed with people and it was a great pleasure to talk about Phosh and Mainline Linux with everyone who came by. People seemed genuinely impressed by the variety of phones that are able to run Mainline Linux these days. The most common question was for recommendation which phones work best _right now_ as well as which phones look promising in the future.

Heads up for edge users: we briefly had a version of mkinitfs (2.8.0) in edge that didn't generate proper boot images for OP6/6T, FP5 and Pixel 3a, resulting in boot failures. This has been fixed in mkinitfs 2.9.0 and boot-deploy 0.23.0. (This is a good example why the hardware CI work is so […]

Another FOSDEM and hackathon are in the rear-view mirror, and it is hard to find words to describe how amazingly productive and fun the experience was! We met so many people at the postmarketOS stand, in the FOSS on Mobile devroom and at dinners in the evening. As always it is fun to put faces […]

I am very proud to say that I managed to #degoogle, install and run @postmarketos.org on a Pixel 3a 👌 And it works with #Phosh interface! Sure, still quite rough around the edges and not ready as a daily driver, but still impressive having a fully fledged Linux system running on mobile! #LinuxMobile

For hackathon movie night, we followed the theme of movies with UI names in them again. Previously: "For the Plasma" (2014) and "The Gnome-Mobile" (1967).

This time:
"COSMIC Journey" (1936 !!!)

We had a great FOSDEM yet again, thanks everybody for stopping by! It was fun hearing appreciation of our project by existing users, but also to explain our project to people that have never heard of us.
We can't wait to be back next year!

Our hackathon is starting now and we'll report about […]

Achievement unlocked: receive SMS on a #postmarketos mainline Linux phone! (last year's nugget had a carrier locked modem, this one doesn't so it just works)

Also the selfie camera works, thanks to a WIP driver by @z3ntu! (this moto has the same front camera as the Fairphone 3)
