For fun I wanted to try coming up with my idea for a postmarketOS mascot.
(this is totally unofficial btw! I hope folks from @postmarketOS dont mind.)

I made the initial sketch in Krita, but then decided to finally give Inkscape a try, took me whole weekend but it's here!

Robot bnuuy.

Also shout out to @RannyBergamotte who came up with the cute little stick arm version of pmOS logo, I had to include it!

The (poor...) way #Linux handles Out Of Memory situations, and the lack of sophisticated application lifecycle management in FOSS toolkits, can make life on #LinuxMobile not so much fun. When memory fills up too much, devices lag and random stuff breaks.

@fakeshell from @furilabs ported #lmkd from Android to "pure" Linux and improved it in many ways. It consumes much less resources than #earlyoom and took my #FLX1 to over 5 days uptime for the first time!

Hey @Tutanota I'm playing with #mobileLinux
First of all big thanks for #flathub email app

Currently I can't sign in. Here is an error on screenshot, but I have an internet connection for sure.
Any ideas how to debug?

#til that #LiberuxNexx failed their campaign. The lack of a working prototype and the high cost held me back, though if I'd have known IndieGoGo refunded if campaigns aren't met I might have still gone in for the dream. Luckily they aren't giving up and are looking to get a functional prototype before trying again.

Uh, I just took a call on my postmarketOS OnePlus 6 and it just worked?!

Got a #OnePlus6T from eBay to check out the current state of #postmarketOS on one of the best supported devices. It turned on twice just fine but is now completely dead. Had been lying in the seller's storage for two years (at least that's whats written on a sticker) and it looks like the battery has now died. Seems to be a common problem with these aging devices.

Any suggestions for a different, less ancient device with a similar level of #mobilelinux support while I try to revive this one?

Finally got round to writing my blog post about daily driving #PostmarketOS on a OnePlus 6 https://clubb.cymru/2025/07/05/ditching-android/

#MobileLinux or is it #LinuxMobile

Thanks so much to everybody who has made this possible!

I only took one more picture today as my little vacation with my friends is coming to an end. We had a great time.

Using a Linux phone was surprisingly boring. I mean that in the most positive way. Using a phone should be boring, because it should just work.

It wasn't perfect. All images look vintage, I had to rotate them all manually, and there was no way to select multiple files for sending. It crashed a few times, too.

I'm happy overall.

Here are some more pictures I took today on my OnePlus 6T running #postmarketOS :)
Yes, these were taken in 2025.

It is so cool!
I am by no means an expert in those things but I got a linux OS running on a new smartphone.
This is a Fairphone 6 running PostmarketOS with Phosh and I love it.
Thank you @postmarketOS @phosh for all the great work.

This post was sent from the fairphone with @Tuba
A really great software for the fediverse even on a small mobile screen.
