  • because it’s a tiny system to get up and running, it’s especially invaluable for systems like mobile phones because the disk space varies a lot and some of them are really restrictive in that regard (i don’t know how mobian does it).

    the thing is, this was supposed get everything simpler than openrc. the way i percieve it, that’s not the case.

    i’m not using plasmo or gnome/phosh, i use sxmo, so it won’t affect me that much, but i think this effort might be fruitless at the end. i really really hope i’m wrong, because i love pmos (and sxmo).






  • if you’re looking for an original distro, you should try void. it’s super lightweight. i used to keep away from gentoo because it was a source only distro, i would otherwise go fulltime on it, but now that it also has binary compatibility you should check that out, too.

    as for wm, i love wayfire as a floating wm, and sway as a tiling wm.






  • i have an idol3 from 2016 and even that has all the phone capabilities (except the camera) and it’s not listed as a community grade. you would be surprised at how many phones are working fully. and with sxmo/swmo every phone ever has a chance to be a daily driver.

    i remember a time when the thing blocking linux migration was audio calling on msn messenger. it got solved but nobody cared. these things take time to go over the tipping point. hardly anybody used android when it first came out, symbian was all the hype.

    if you are willing and have a spare phone you should try postmarketos now.
