@alice @fossdd oh yeah, sorry if this was not a good reply. I more indeed wanted to point out to the surprise of "on desktop". Since indeed, we use it "on desktop :D" It totally does not match your criteria, sorry if it came out as a distracting comment instead.

@alice @fossdd with all the irony in these words, multiple other maintainers and I daily drive it in our dev laptops, and it's really, really stable, more than other distros I've used, not to say phones on pmOS itself xD

With performance improvements in #GNOME over the last 2 years, as of GNOME 48 I can say we are mostly on par with "lightweight" desktop environments in terms of responsiveness, on any Intel / AMD hardware from the last 15 years (if you use an nVidia GPU: get a real GPU, you masochist).

I see no real advantage for "light" DEs on #Linux for today's old hardware.

Below: mom's #ThinkPad X220 (from 2012), & dad's AMD desktop (from 2009).

My own PC has an AMD GPU from 2013 + CPU chipset from 2009.

I talked to someone at Nature about how I manage my ADHD and autism.

This article is great. Some excellent tips in here from others, too.

Hey you. Do you like low level programming? would you like to contribute to a large and well established project? Because I'm always looking to help new contributors getting started on GDB! It uses C++, but you may also end up needing to remove abstraction layers, so there's tons of things not-C++ to think about, if you want to.

I know that contributing to the GNU Debugger may sound like it's something that would be incredibly hard, or that you need ungodly amounts of knowledge to improve, because that's literally how I felt before sending my first patch, but the truth is, the project was developed by people (humans and otherwise), so silly bugs will abound, and simple oversights will need correcting. There is stuff for every level of programmer to do, from "I've worked on the kernel for 20 years" to "this is my 1st year in college and I'm not scared of large projects"

And here's the kicker, I want more contributors to the GDB project. So, if you are interested in this at all, you can hit me up and I will do my best to help you get setup to contribute (from compiling locally, to setting up git-send-email, running tests) and then help you understand the bugs, the code, and how to make a good commit message (to GDB's standards anyway). I've literally done code-walks with other mentees in the past, I eager to share as much of my experience as you would like to have! and I do my best to be ADHD/autistic friendly, since I'm AuDHD myself and would have really loved a mentor that did that for me in the past...

So... yeah, don't be afraid to reach out!

U-Boot now runs on the Pixel 3a! Even the integrated eMMC works :D

CFP for #FrOSCon: ✅

In Spain you never quite know whether you're on a plane or a train. Security and baggage checks, pre-boarding checks, giant departure halls.
At least they're mostly quite fast and so far relatively punctual. And the wifi is free!

on my way to the airport,, Lisbon is such an awesome city, very pretty and small enough that you don't feel totally lost

some pics (two not actually taken in lisbon xd) including when @z3ntu and I made it to the west most point in mainland europe along with another friend

zbus recently passed 20 million unique downloads on crates.io. 🎉 With downloads peaking consistently on weekdays (reaching to 70K on some days) and dropping drastically on the weekends, it's very obvious that most of this use is commercial.

So if you or your company relies on zbus, please consider sponsoring my work. 🙏 Resharing of this message would also help.

@camelCaseNick Indeed my wording was not the best, when my main intention was to get feedback on how to improve postmarketOS from the vendor side. In the process I also broke one of the golden rules: praise collaboration and not competition with other Linux Mobile folks, since we all share the same goal. Thank you very much for pointing this out, and surely worth an apology to @dos, @agx, and @awai, sorry for the way of writing, surely not the best way to put it.

@dawndrums

Bonus, here it is running GNOME on Alpine (which is actually usable!)

omg meson introspect is the best thing ever happend

Today I'm giving a presentation about #postmarketOS at the #NLLGG (Dutch LUG). I did one in 2019 when our project was just 2 years old, it's about time for an update!

@pabloyoyoista @cas @mobian @dawndrums @postmarketOS Regarding Purism, IMHO their "mistake" is that they forked Debian entirely, rebuilding every single package on their own infrastructure (and patching some of those in the process). That's a lot of work for such a small team, hence the lag...

OTOH Mobian only provides overlays on top of Debian stable & testing, and we have no trouble keeping up ;) IOW, it's more the *how* that counts, rather than the base distro itself.

Meet Divine, a GNU/Linux Phone powered by Rockchip’s RK3588S. Divine D. will be our first variant, completely open for development, testing and debugging. It will bring interesting features on-board, from local AI to multi-standard connectivity. We also develop DawnOS, a mobian-based distribution tailored for our hardware, including custom Kernel and device tree.
