LINux on MOBile

Hi! This is the main Fediverse account of a blog about LINux on MOBile devices – linmob.net. It's has been restarted in 2020 because of the PinePhone and continues to report the news on Mobian, postmarketOS, Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch and the hardware these alternative operating systems run on.

Used to be https://identi.ca/linmob. Also on bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/linmob.net.

I tried RK3568 MIPI DSI patches from @a3f for #barebox and I got a display out on my #pinetab2 :)

Barebox with MIPI DSI support on PineTab 2

The screen is rotated by 90 degrees as this is the display's original orientation.

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or a #postmarketos developer how many phones they have

I'm contributing to a new application from @azibom called Assistant, which is aimed to become part of the GNOME Circle community. Here is the icon I designed for now.

@gnomeapps

The green icon of the Assistant application is shown in the App Icon Preview application. The screenshot has been enhanced using the Gradia application.

Sweet! Using some NIR shader magic, I can also sample 128-bit formats. Under the hood, I'm sampling two separate 64-bit values and combining them within the shader.

128bit format sampling works

Psst. you!

Yes, you.

libinput 1.29rc1 is out. Don't tell anyone.

The list of (secret!) goodies is: better scroll wheel heuristics, new tablet eraser button configuration and an internal plugin pipeline (no public plugins yet though).

I was not getting mobile data while at #DebConf25 (Brest, France) on #Librem5. My home network is vi India. Another provider airtel worked, and the same Vi sim worked on an android phone as well as pinephone pro running mobian. On #FLX1 also vi failed but airtel worked.
I manged to get it working after installing a patched ModemManager that uses ppp instead of qmi for data connection. Thanks to @dos for maintaining these patches source.puri.sm/sebastian.krzys
