A YouTuber attempts to use #postmarketos on their Pixel 3a: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePBSXi_nvdM
Looks like there are still lots of little problems. But considering the limited resources the project has, I hope they can get proper EU government funding. It might be our escape from the […]
New finance blog post is up, nerding out over the 2025 budget (plan vs. execution), and the budget for 2026.
The most exciting part is probably the q6voice rework and mainlining which will improve audio significantly for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile distributions on a large number of QC […]
The all-new "devel" blog is now live!
https://postmarketos.org/devel/
As postmarketOS developer, it can be hard to keep up with changes in workflows and tooling, and understanding why these changes were made. @newbyte had the idea to create a blog specifically for such developer-relevant […]
The mobile-config-firefox documentation has been split up into multiple pages (from mostly a single README.md file), was updated, and is now available at https://docs.postmarketos.org/mobile-config-firefox/ for comfortable reading. For example… with Firefox on your Linux Mobile phone! 😉

Anyways, if you're in Vancouver and would like to try it, please lmk. But now back to the Android emulation. My previous experiences with that were these:
1) Anbox (a long time ago)
2) Waydroid on #GNOME mobile and phosh via #postmarketOS
3) SailfishOS's Android emulation layer

What I used to love about testing Linux was that Windows was installed and you could install Linux alongside it. So you could try it out or switch over at any time.
I'd love to have something like that for my Android Fairphone and @postmarketOS or @e_mydata or @LineageOS .
Happy for any hint […]
Does anyone have an actual use-case for the "pmbootstrap apkindex_parse" subcommand? Asking because it was apparently broken for over a year and no one seemed to complain 😅
#pmbootstrap #postmarketOS
I can feel a reinstall of #PostmarketOS on #Fairphone5 coming....screen sometimes switches off and doesn't want to come back on. And I hear that others have audio. I want that too.
Not bad though for running since last August 👍
I just opened a merge request to #postmarketOS #pmbootstrap making some changes to the UX of the install subcommand, in particular prompting you about install disk issues much earlier and also informing about that without the --password argument you'll be prompted to manually enter it later […]
It's not much but if everyone would chip-in it would go a long way for @postmarketOS #postmarketOS 💪
(Also, would be brilliant if the @EUCommission #EU decided to properly fund it to have proper alternative to even so more closed #android )

So I now have two Qualcomm devices: a sdm670 (my previous phone, was starting to randomly reboot occasionally, which smells like impending hardware failure but otherwise in good condition to test things out) and a sc7280 (currently on official Android) in reasonable state to eventually run […]
Hey, I just checked on a whim and it looks like my current phone entered the #postmarketOS testing repos officially!
I tried to install a local build from unofficial source repos some 6 months ago but failed to get it booting to the UI, and a phone stuck on a vt with no keyboard is... not very […]
What is a cheap but still usable phone that I could buy second hand to try out #postmarketOS ?
We have updated our AI policy to explicitly forbid generative AI. This and more in our latest monthly blog post "postmarketOS in 2026-02: generic kernels" :zoop:

If you're interested in beginner-friendly tasks for contributing to #postmarketOS in #Python #pmbootstrap has some clean-ups that need to be done—in particular, migrating the remaining commands from the legacy frontend.py to the new "commands" module.
See […]
Finally have Wifi back on my #pinebookpro in #postmarketos after losing it sometime in November - what a glorious day!

I found that I still have Xiaomi Mi A1 which my wife used to have few years ago, and accidentaly YT recommended me again Hardware Haven video about #postmarketos where he installed it on this exact model.
I installed it today and it looks and feel quite nice for almost 10-year-old phone.

For this weekend of #postmarketOS #linuxmobile #mainlining I have put together what I had for the Moto G7 into a coherent pull request to @barni2000's msm8953 linux repo. No exciting pictures since nothing visually changed :) just that you will be able to install it too very soon!
For any #PostmarketOS users out there, is there some workflow method to ease adding packages to a base image made via `pmbootstrap` rather than manually typing in packages repeatedly re-running `pmbootstrap install`?
Wait, #Google did not include the new #Android 16 QPR2 Desktop Mode in the #AOSP ? And that is why it is not included in #LineageOS 23.2 ?
I don't know which swearwords to use in order to express my disappointment.
Well, one more reason to dislike Google and encourage people to #deGoogle their […]
#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 […]
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.

Glitched welcome to pmOS screen
Glitched green "enter passcode" screen
Welcome to #postmarketOS! xD
Just make sure to leave your UBWC at the door-
(`FD_MESA_DEBUG=noubwc` seems to be required at least on -next for a610 right now, will be fixed don't worry)
phew, @verdre and I just finally got Jolla Android appsupport up with Android 13 on #postmarketOS after a few too many late nights
still suuuuper broken but hopefully we'll soon get back to the state we were in with Android 11 last year. Maybe we'll […]
