It's FOSS News · Sponsorships Seem to Be Coming to Arch Linux!A proposal looks to introduce a transparent sponsorship process to Arch Linux.

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.

Working through updating the #FLX1 review i wrote up a while ago and my god hopefully future phones I test both do and dont have similar battery life. I want to have full battery life numbers instead of just estimations so from 100% to the phone is off. Standby test without a sim and wifi on the entire time has been going 164 hours and still has another 16% to go. No deep sleep. Luckily the last battery test i need. Im also updating the review structure a bit to show more info.

Möchte man Apps auf sein #Linux Phone installieren habe ich bisher die Seite https://linuxphoneapps.org verwendet. Eine gut Ergänzung ist https://flathub.org/apps/collection/mobile/1

Ich finde es interessant das zu
#webOS Zeiten immer das Problem war, dass es nicht genügend Apps gibt. Das Problem gibt es bei Linux Phones gerade wirklich nicht. Da ist die Herausforderung das Thema Geräte.

LinuxPhoneApps.orgLinuxPhoneApps.orgAn App Directory for PinePhone, Librem 5 and other mainline Linux phones.

Looks like the #liberux #mobilelinux phone finally released their indiegogo. Looks pretty expensive for people to buy into a companies first product. The good thing about rk3588 base is atleast collabora is pushing the mainline development forward so if they go bust its not dead in the water. Its still too expensive though for a community to sprout from it like the pine devices. I wish them the best but it seems to expensive for me to purchase one with the risk of it not materializing.
