#MobileLinux
Well... new instance, new introduction.
Hi, I'm hexaheximal. I'm a software developer by day... and... uhh... also by night.
I use desktop #Linux as well as #MobileLinux (more specifically #PostMarketOS) quite extensively, and enjoy doing so.
Occasionally I try making things other than software projects as well, but not as frequently. I also have a blog at https://hexaheximal.com/blog, although I don't use it often.
@tagesschau Offene Hardwaretreiber wären wohl das Wichtigste. Ich hoffe da wächst das Bewusstsein noch ein wenig in Zukunft. Nicht einsehbarer Code auf Netzwerkfähigen Geräten ist m. M. nach per se ein Sicherheitsrisiko für Europa... #FOSS #MobileLinux
KRetro is now an official (wip) KDE app!! If you like retro games and have wanted a native Qt/Kirigami Libretro frontend for Plasma (and Plasma Mobile), this is it!
It's not released yet (name is still subject to change too), and there is still a lot to do, but please do come and test/contribute: https://invent.kde.org/games/kretro
(Also special thanks for @carl for his help!)
Progress report:
#unmeta: 100%
#akkoma, #threema, #signal are way better
#unmicrosoft: 100% everything I have control over, but work forces Windows on me
#nobara, #fedora, #mint and various distros on my test laptop
#ungoogle: 75%, still have some email adresses that are used as login everywhere, switching is hard work.
For Android I have #grapheneos and #calyxos on my daily drivers, but testing #mobilelinux like #sailfish and #ubuntutouch.
#Waterfox and #Iceraven for browsers.
And for the rest of the services I love my #nextcloud.
Also, #peertube and #nebula.
Honestly, #google is the hardest to get rid of, but maybe the one that really shouldn't have all that data about me. 🤔

I really shouldn't be astonished, but I am 😵.
This is, of course, utter abuse of user data, but what's even worse is that Google allows this.
#Conversations was taken off Google Play, and forced to remove its contacts linking feature for #privacy reasons, despite the fact that no contact data was ever uploaded to any servers, yet #Citymapper is allowed to share highly sensitive precise location data with third parties for the sake of #profit?!
🤬 Goodbye Citymapper!!
Thankfully we're not exactly short of #opensource alternatives: I love how #Öffi displays the timetables, but we also have #Transportr and KDE's #KTrip (which not only works on Android but also on #mobilelinux).

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 )
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (24/2025): Not just Q&A sessions

"(… We desperately need #mobileLinux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))"
Not in the sense of having millions of proprietary apps, not in the sense of running on 80 % of all #smartphones, not yet in the sense of being easy to use for non-geeks.
But if you are #Linux-savvy and OK with buying one of the very few compatible smartphones, e.g. #Mobian or #PostmarketOS are pretty usable now.
@Kurt more reason to look for @postmarketOS , @droidian and others #MobileLinux ?
Megapixels 2.0, properly compiled, and Highscore work correctly by specifying the environment variable related to the MESA GL version as follows:
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2
Following my request one and a half months ago: https://mstdn.social/@theDarky/114415107294340361
By adding the following line to my #Mobian configuration:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main
And by installing the experimental versions of the mesa Vulkan package:
sudo apt -t experimental install mesa-vulkan-drivers

Help make it happen for Liberux NEXX (linux phone) on @indiegogo https://igg.me/p/3287968/twtr/2527157 #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #linuxphones
Updated @furilabs #FLX1 review is now up! https://blog.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1 Let me know what you guys think and if it covered everything you guys would be interested in. Added in some more battery numbers and simplified some charts. Looking forward to the future progress on the FLX1 and its sister device!
liberux has updated nexx phone options. still pricey, and this is crowdfunding, more or less risky. don't go for, if low on cash.
i'm in, in 1300 euro option.

I don't know if it's just me who thinks this way, but when I use a smartphone I what I really want is just a portable computer with a touchscreen that I can connect to wireless (wifi and/or cellular) networks from.
At it's core, that's really why I like postmarketOS. I want something that just works like a normal linux computer, and postmarketOS does exactly that.
@mimosacymru.bsky.social and what happens to those of us not on android or iphone...?
