There's less than 10 days left on the @Liberux crowdfunding campaign! Now more than ever, we need open, Linux-first smartphones 📱 designed by a team of passionate open-source lovers :copyleft:
Options start at 790€ (and they also accept small donations), so let's make it happen together: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/liberux-nexx--3 ❤️
Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with it, but I would be very interested in any experiences with the #Fydetab Duo too.
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/
This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!
#FuriLabsFLX1 #PureOS #Librem5 #LiberuxNexx #PinePhone #Phosh #LinuxMobile #LinuxOnMobile
postmarketOS v25.06 - "the one with systemd" is out now!
* Camera for OP6/6T and others 📸
* #GNOME 48 + 48.mobile.0
* #PlasmaMobile 6.3.5
* #Phosh 0.47.0 with Stevia now installed by default
* #Sxmo 1.17.1 (again, but this time with a systemd preview too!)
* os-installer images

Thanks to all the amazing people who contributed to this release! :blobcatheart:
Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for funding most of the infrastructure and maintenance work that went into this release as well as a lot of the systemd related work.

Native apps on #LinuxMobile are getting better at a good pace. But we need better devices that run mainline kernels and have been designed from the beginning to respect users' freedom (as far as feasible).
So yes, I am backing the #LiberuxNexx crowdfunding campaign!
As of now, there are just 12 days left but only 6% of their campaign goal have been reached. I hope more people will make up their minds (and purses):
@furilabs have you considered moving away from Github (owned by Microsoft)?
For someone like me who is looking for independence from "Big Tech", seeing that you are on Github is a really bad sign, and it makes me reluctant to contribute.
Look at others, like Gnome, Purism, postmarketOS, Mobian, and so on, they all use something else. I think they know that Github is bad for them, both in practice and in principle.

@TheDragon @nbourdais Sounds like #SailfishOS could fit this, indeed. You probably don't need the Android app support, so the free SailfishOS community edition would suffice. And you could use one of the many community ports, enlarging your available device range. I remember SFOS being quite snappy even on the slow #Pinehone 1. SailfishOS is very much #LinuxMobile. The UI is proprietary though. There's #nemoMobile as alternative, but I have never tried it.
Most of #Phosh's short tutorial and demo videos are now also available on #peertube at https://peertube.debian.social/c/phosh/videos . Some of them are already a bit dated and thus look a bit old fashioned (but can still be useful)

Dang it's a lot of money, but what a sweet device it will be, and as Libre of your freedom as possible! Read more from the creators here https://linmob.net/liberux-nexx-an-interview-with-liberux/
A real linux system, upto 32GiB of RAM, 512GiB of storage, sdcard, 5G, 2x USB-c 3.1 ports (!), DP alt-mode on at least 1 of the USB ports, HW kill switches (BT/WiFI, cellular, and camera/mic). If you thought about something you would like in an ideal phone it's probably here!

I had some questions, and @Liberux answered!

Another day out with #phosh and the #OP6
- Woke up with #gnomeClocks ⏰
- Looked up the address of the 🍟 via #Firefox and its mobile config
- picked my way via #puremap's offline map feature
- Send #SMS via #Chatty
- Replied a toot via #tuba
- Listened to 🎵 via #gapless
- Looked up the appointment time on #phosh's lockscreen 📆 plugin backed by #eds
- Checked 💗 pulse via a simple pacer up using #phosh's lancher plugin for the short 🚶
No console needed.
Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding:
One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions.
As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it:
https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/06/17/volte-project-qmi-sniffing-with-frida/
The binary for SimpleX Chat Terminal (version v6.3.6.0) I compiled on my #librem5 (aarch64) on Mobian can be shared.
I'm looking a place to share it.
It took me 4 hours to do it correctly.
We can try it to exchange with it if you want
Just give it the +X permission.
If you have any problem or question, just answer to this toot
More infos in the official documentation:
https://simplex.chat/docs/cli.html
@postmarketOS @plasmamobile @NGIZero and of-course, this work will benefit @phosh or any other #LinuxMobile project using modem manager! 🙌
On va voir si on peut compiler SimpleX sur #librem5 et donc #LinuxMobile
Dang! #MauiKit just keeps looking nicer and nicer! Can't wait to be able to use an entire #Maui based OS on a #MobileLinux phone, such as my #PinePhonePro (or maybe #FuriLabs #FLX1 or #LiberuxNEXX )
