@linuxphones can this device be switched over to a Linux distro ? Would it function normally in that case ??

@linuxphones l was wondering about switching over to linux with my smart phone. Would it work equally well like Android ??

I'm not the developer of this app, I just spotted it and noticed nobody had done any post about it here.

It's clearly early days: You can't create posts or comments and the UX could use some work. But it has a lot of potential and now we can count LinuxMobile to the supported platforms.

This past week: Phosh 0.54.0 released, mobile-config-firefox 5.2.0 adds vertical tabs support (may become default in future), postmarketOS Duranium gains system extensions support, Ubuntu Touch Q&A and good news regarding VoLTE on Pixel 3a Halium 12 port, and more! Enjoy!

I hope tablets aren't offtopic :p

What would be a small tablet with the following?

• good mainline kernel support (don't really need camera or sensors)
• aarch64 architecture (if there's something with another architecture that works well for the other points let me know anyway)
• mobile data, preferrably 5G, would be fine with 4G if that is not yet a thing
• USB-C
• working suspend

I just want something to occasionally read blog posts and Piefed/Lemmy on.

It has to be small. I prefer 8" tablets. 12" tablets are really not for me. Perhaps I could grudgingly accept 9"...

I currently use a Dell Venue 8 Pro 5585, it's previously been a Windows tablet. It works well, although something crashes occasionally that makes it unable to display the batter percentage. Build quality is thin plastic and I always worry about it breaking, so I never carry it with me.

Distro support is not required, I want to port Mobian if I find a suitable device. I've previously done that for the Pixel 3a, so I know what I have to do.

This past week: A PINE64 Community Update with (no actual?) news on a PinePhone 2, Phosh 0.54 release candidate tagged at Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2026, postmarketOS announces archival of unmaintained devices after v26.06, first batch of Jolla Phone preorders ready to be completed, and way more. Collected in a city known for a famous tragedy. Enjoy!

This past week: postmarketOS introduces Duranium immutable variant, PureOS Crimson beta and Sailfish OS 5.0.0.77 early access released, a Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Amazfish 2.9.0 and more! Enjoy!

The first Linux tablet with hardware kill switches for nearly everything. Also very repairable/upgradable for a tablet.

Just remember a pledge on IndieGogo is not a preorder. I myself am going to wait to order until not only they demonstrate Linux working, but working well.

Shared as I thought other people may be fine with the compromises of funding it at its current state to get it to that desired state sooner.

I've got nothing more to say. I guess I'm just excited. Another quarter year until shipment, but I guess I will forget about it as I did before and then again be surprised 😅

With the recent announcement of Motorola partnering with GrapheneOS, I got curious about installing a custom rom like LineageOS or/e/OS on my Moto G Power (vegas) because I've been meaning to degoogle for a while now. As far as I can tell, Motorola has all the keys to be a primary development target: OEM supported boot unlocking, cheap devices, accessible hardware, etc. Why have their devices largely been ignored by custom ROM developers?

I thought this post was a great idea, so decided to copy it! This is my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS, some highlights are:

• Most apps installed via Obtainium, except for banking apps etc that have to come from Google Play
• Setter search bar
• Quik SMS app
• Pipepipe for watching Youtube
• Lawnchair launcher
• FairEmail email app
• Dailer, Contacts, Calendar from Fossify

A thankyou to the help I've received here.

Phone looks and feels great.

Wallpaper (I'm pretty sure) is by Jubilee / 8Pxl
