The recording of talk about the missing 20% in Mobile Linux is live! Check it out now! https://video.fosdem.org/2025/h2214/fosdem-2025-4836-kernel-support-for-mobile-linux-the-missing-20-.av1.webm

If you're looking for subtitles, I hope to write them in the next weeks and have the video public on my YouTube channel with them soon!

@edward I'll check it out. Thanks!

hope you all had an awesome , we sure did!

All our leaflets gone, many people stopped by to show off their phones or play with ours, and a lot of "wow i really need to get this on my device"

we had some amazing talks too at the FOSS on Mobile devroom, and some outreach by @anjan presenting pmbootstrap in the embedded devroom.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped run the stand and (hopefully) not lose their voices in the process :D

Safe travels and see you next year

Seems @postmarketOS is now successful enough for some people to think it was the first community-run GNU-like/Linux distro for phones.

Let me remind you that SHR would turn 17yo this year, and it wasn't even the first one. I bet some contributors are younger than that ๐Ÿ˜„

SHR DOWNLOADS

Header: ABOUT SHR
(navigation shows two more links: FILE LISTING and DOWNLOAD)

SHR is a GNU/Linux based operating system for smartphones and similar mobile devices. It integrates various Free and Open Source Software projects into a versatile platform - flexible enough to run on a vast selection of mobile hardware such as the Openmoko Neo Freerunner, Nokia N900, Palm Pre and variants, T-Mobile G1, HTC HD2, iPhone 3Gs and more.

A growing amount of available applications offers SHR users with everything expected on a smartphone. But also numerous classical programs well known from other Linux distros can be made available easily.

Two buttons: "Find out more on our homepage" and "Download SHR image for your device" Screenshot of a wiki-like webpage:

== General Rules ==

SHR should theoretically be able to run in most devices which have a Linux kernel and are supported in OpenEmbedded.

SHR support for features of a specific device may vary depending on the kernel status and FSO support for that machine, and available machine resources.

== Officially supported devices ==

The following phones currently have images regularly built for them:

- Openmoko GTA02 (shr-core)
- Goldelico GTA04 (shr-core)
- Nokia N900 (shr-core)
- Samsung Nexus S(shr-core)

== Unmaintained Devices ==

The following devices have run under SHR but are not maintained anymore:

*(please note that some devices lack lots of features)*

- Palm Pre, Pre Plus, Pre 2 (shr-core)
- exoPC Slate
- HTC Artemis (P3300)
- HTC Desire
- HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1)
- HTC HD2 (htc leo)
- iPhone3G
- Nexus One
- Openmoko Neo 1973 (om-gta01)
- Geeksphone One, Highscreen Zeus A photo of an Openmoko Neo Freerunner, displaying SHR logo and text "Please wait, booting..."

For the first time ever, I met actual people using and , in the flesh! At .

@weirdtreething hey, I have a r36s and I was planning on making a port for it. Good thing I saw this! ๐Ÿฅน I would much rather use pmOS than some random image from the internet. Is there a merge request for the r36s port? I can't seem to find anything about the r36s on pmOS wiki.

@Luigi311 for sxmo, we have a python script to convert from vcf to the sxmo contacts format https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/sxmo-userscripts/tree/master/item/scripts/vcf2tsv.py

@pabloyoyoista @postmarketOS I look forward to working with you!

I just booked my flight for #fossdem2025: https://fosdem.org/2025/

@pocketvj Neat idea! However, I want to keep peanutbutter simple which is why it doesnt use pam. Moreover, I would just turn my phone off in these cases. postmarketOS' full disk encryption is great!

Peanutbutter 0.4 is out. The lock screen now has a clock and icons!

It should be available on alpine edge soon.

Also, I was happy to see posters of groups organizing against Trump in Seattle. Liberals are incapable of actually defending marginalized people. The future looks bleak regardless of where you live. Please get organized with a local leftist group that speaks to you.
