@jwildeboer The small form factor and design is definitely appealing.
You can also make your own music player by taking an old phone, install @postmarketOS on it, and play your music collection with one of the great linux apps such as Gapless. I've done exactly this with my oneplus6t
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (09/2026): Sovereign Stacks

WebKit might be coming to SailfishOS - https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/webkit-browser-for-sfos-safari-engine/27969/17?u=frankps
For now it is an experiment, but keyboard, copy and paste, zoom, ui integration is working. What missing is video/audio, sandboxing (Sailjail and engine) and hardware acceleration.
Today is my first time when I've managed easily connect to the Wifi via qr code.
https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.kde.qrca is a great app.
It's so cool to have working audio in FP5/PmOS
Great success of humanity

When you're working on a bug fix, new feature, or even a small cleanup — share it early.
The pool of developers is small. If you contributed support for a sensor on your phone, someone else might pick it up, test it, and enable it on theirs with almost no extra work.
Your change can become part of bigger whole infrastructure. 1/2

We just landed initial support for Chinese (via #pinyin) and Japanese (via #anthy / romaji) in #Phosh's on screen keyboard #stevia using #uim 🥳
As our current maintainers don't speak / write these languages we appreciate testing feedback and people joining development so we can improve things further in this important area.
Time flies 🚀: Exactly one year ago we had our association's founding meeting 🥳.
Looking forward to the next year of developing and promoting #Phosh and the #LinuxMobile ecosystem, working towards user friendly #DigitalFreedom and #DigitalIndependence (nowadays often called #DigitalSovereignity) for the devices we carry in our pockets very day 📱.
Our next booth will be at #CLT2026 in Chemnitz, meet us there.
Maybe its just anecdotal but it seems that in previous eras attempts at #opensource mobile, #linuxmobile etc were targeting low end devices, whereas now they seem to be targeting the latest "mainstream".
The most extreme low end effort was maybe the #firefoxos ZTE devices, cute little plasticky things.
The difference can be quite material (> 500 versus < 200 in some monetary units).
No idea what best strategy to reach mass adoption but maybe chasing the giant phone selfie crowd is not it? 🤣
Just added compass support to Charon, which was surprisingly easy thanks to iio-sensor-proxy.
Seit ich vorgestern mein GrapheneOS auf Android 16 gehoben hab, scrollt es manchmal viel zu schnell (reproduzierbar). Ob das eine Einstellung ist, die geändert wurde?
Ansonsten hat das Update nämlich auch sonst einige Werte geändert. Und sieht auch noch doof aus. Zeit für Linux...
@alsutton hello, too. Can't wait to have it as a daily driver. 😃 #postmarketos #fairphone #linuxmobile
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:

@PerryPeak ah yes I keep mixing that up and thinking pinephone have their own distro
This is my review of the FLX1 phone from @FuriLabs. I've been using this phone for about 3 years as a daily driver. I am very happy with it! My banking app works, which is great, Android apps work very well in general. Plenty of settings and updates are monthly. There are glitches: flickering of the screen that I can't stop unless I remove the battery, that happens when I press power button twice; and artifacts being left back when uninstalling Android apps.
Coulr is now working well on #linuxmobile (before latest version, it had a fixed non-resizable window).
Post written with Tuba in #postmarketos on my all new OP6t (and first linux phone) 😀️
The finale batch of Jolla C2 devices has landed in Tampere and is ready to be shipped to customers: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/update-on-jolla-c2-q4-25-production-batch/25420/35?u=frankps
If you want a #SailfishOS phone there is only a few preorders left for the upcoming community phone, J2: https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder
I've installed @postmarketOS with Phosh and systemd (!) back onto my OnePlus6T. Waydroid works surprisingly well too.
What's a good starting point for contributing to the linux on mobile experience? #linuxmobile
