If @pabloyoyoista looks so happy, it's because he's demoing GNOME OS on a laptop, and GNOME on a phone thanks to @postmarketOS

The future looks bright when the future looks free ๐Ÿฅณ

@gnome @

A man is smiling widely, while hunching on a laptop and a phone both running GNOME.

On the desk where the devices stand, there's a page saying "Friend of GNOME" and a pile of GNOME t-shirts.

last year we "enjoyed" The Gnome Mobile

continuing the tradition of hackathon movie night with "for the plasma" in honor of @kde

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

@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.

== 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..."

@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.
