Nice to meet you! I'm interested in Linux, FOSS, and FOSH, but I'm interested in other topics as well :D

Boosts != endorsements. Opinions own. I treat Mastodon like an RSS feed.

Working on mainlining Linux on the Samsung Expressatt, Pinephone Pro, and the Surface RT.

  • Linux traffic has grown 22.4% in PH this year

  • a little funny to see someone say the same exact thing as me, but conclude the opposite thing

    that 1% gain translates to a lot of people. app devs will hopefully target linux now as there are finally a sizable amt of people on the platform. its breaking the chicken and egg cycle

    no need to worry about the software fragmentation. it gives OEMs a choice on how they would like to sell a system. we dont want to be like android now do we. i see it as a plus

  • yup it is very active. u can follow the account here: @postmarketOS

    as for why the devices seem old: it takes a lot of work trying to get the old android kernel working with the mainline kernel. its much harder than lineageos as we dont reuse the old android kernel and a lot of work needs to be done on both the kernel and userspace

    basically one person is doing an entire engineering departments work

    if ud like the newest phone, u can get a fairphone 5

  • @toastal Yeah, I wanna be able to support them too. I still have the Pinephone Pro just sitting there because of the abysmal battery life

    Waydroid has most apps covered. Would you perhaps know of any that aren’t? Drains battery extremely fast though. You can always dual booting into Android (Not sure how that works) at least on the OnePlus 6

    A bit unfortunate that devices have varying levels of functionality, but it’s still amazing what people have done so far

  • @Sarcasmo220 Yeah, I'm a bit surprised people aren't recommending it and other Linux distros, especially when there are few rough edges left. Any rough edges that truly bother you, and you can switch back to LineageOS while keeping an eye on Linux for when it's solved

    Andrew Tanenbaum stated that for every 1,000 lines of properly written C code, there is a bug. AOSP is ~500 GB! I don't trust other ROMs besides LineageOS because how do developers of other ROMs audit this?

  • @hector If you want to tinker with both Linux and Android for your phone, look at this list: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

    There are some devices that can dual boot Android and Linux (the one I know of is OnePlus 6)

    Since mainline Linux works on the OnePlus 6, I think there were some efforts to get the latest Android running on it. Ask in the postmarketOS Matrix chat to make sure though

    Also surprised people recommending GrapheneOS: https://youtu.be/4To-F6W1NT0

  • If only this picture had the next paragraph...

    "There are some who gloomily expect a society run by a small elected elite, presiding over a mindless multitude kept happy by drugs and circuses, much as in Huxley's Brave New World. But most futurists believe that work will still be the only way to gain responsibility and power."
