@postmarketOS Actually, which project could be considered the first one? 🤔 Let's ignore PDAs as their history is longer.

The earliest one I'm personally aware of is @LaF0rge's OpenEZX from 2005, targeting Motorola's Linux phones.

@pabloyoyoista @postmarketOS I myself have started at 16yo - and holy cow, this stuff is now older than I was back then 😅

@eloy @postmarketOS I'll be actually doing something like that next week at the local ILFS Day meetup 😁

@deedend @postmarketOS @anjan I'm not aware of anything still maintained that would run on GTA02, but it you want to play with archeology then SHR 2012.07 images are actually preserved by the Wayback Machine: web.archive.org/web/2021041704

@ptrc @postmarketOS It's just because you'll either get "but Android is Linux" or "but Alpine isn't GNU" smartasses if you don't tiptoe enough with your words there 😂

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 😄

@marmarta Yeah... Last year I wanted to get behind the Linux Mobile stand to help, lasted about 3 minutes and noped hard 😂 I did plenty of expo booths in my life, but that one was wild. Some FOSDEM buildings seem friendlier for stands, but in some you just end up with this crowded street market energy.

Flow –the animated sensation of the year– was created in Blender! Francesco had a chat with director Gints Zilbalodis to discuss his experience working on the film. The interview covers topics such as learning Blender, working with a team (actually multiple small teams), using add-ons, and single-handedly lighting and rendering the film. Enjoy: blender.org/user-stories/makin #b3d

Really had an amazing day at #FOSDEM today. The #LinuxOnMobile stand was absolutely *heaving* all day (as were our neighbouring @postmarketOS and @calyxos stands) even after all the other stands had left.

So much interest in #AsteroidOS, #SailfishOS, #Mobian and @linmob So great to see so many new and familiar faces.

My only regret is that I didn't get to go to any talks. I'll have to set aside two weekends to watch all the videos!

If you're at #FOSDEM and interested in running #Linux on your phone or watch (you should be!) then swing by the #LinuxOnMobile stand on Saturday or Sunday in building K, stand K1-C-6! We'll have #AsteroidOS, #Mobian, #SailfishOS, the @jolla Mind2 and more to test out and try. @linmob will be there with stickers and insight. Plus @postmarketOS and @calyxos are right next door!

Getting ready for the #fosdem #LinuxOnMobile devroom. Matrix chat room #2025-mobile:fosdem.org
#ShotOnLibrem5

I remember when the first Open Movie Project was coming along almost 20 years ago - and today I just came back from the cinema having watched a movie that I only incidentally learned was completely made in Blender 🐈‍⬛

"Flow" was so intense though, I wasn't prepared for that 😭

Wanna know what's new in #phosh? @devrtz will give a short overview in the FOSS on Mobile devroom at #FOSDEM this weekend: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event

The devroom has a bunch of interesting talks on #LinuxMobile (and other #foss OSes): fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track

@dalias @jpm @tithonium @foone With NetworkManager you can just give it a "shared" profile and it runs a DHCP server and sets up appropriate routing automatically. Then you can access the device without checking its IP over mDNS.

@foone That's been the default mode of USB comms for all my phones and tablet-like devices for the past two decades or so

@szulikszarecki @m0bi Generalnie to mocno zależy od konkretnego sprzętu i tego, jak dojrzałe jest wsparcie. Zresztą, energooszczędność energooszczędności nierówna. PinePhone wytrzyma na baterii kilka dni leżąc bezczynnie, ale będziesz szybko musiał go podłączyć po tym jak weźmiesz go do ręki. Librem 5 wytrzyma dobre kilka godzin zabawy, ale dłużej niż jakieś 20 godzin zarejestrowany w sieci nie poleży.
Osobiście to ja na L5 używam Waydroida gdy muszę i daję radę ;)
