@nitrokey Hey NitroKey, as a #postmarketOS dev this honestly gets me a bit worried. I've seen several companies jumping on the "Linux on mobile" bandwagon without realizing what makes the PinePhone and Librem 5 so great: mainline Linux kernel support.

Please make sure that if you make a Linux-based phone, it'll either ship with mainline support or has at least work going to it to make that happen in the future!

Just some screenshots of Shattered-pixel-Dungeon a fun little Roguelike RPG running on the #Pinephone

I showed this one before but I realized there is a .jar version in the LinMobGames repo now so you can use it on more then just Mobian. I just love this game it's not specially complicated but a ton of fun and I even played it before I had a Pinephone! :D

Big thanks to @ShatteredPixel (Twitter) for the amazing work!

Valve just dropped the bomb. A cheap portable console like computer with Linux on it (and it's arch btw). It's called the #SteamDeck.

2021 confirmed year of the Linux portable gaming console.

To anyone interested in the #Pinephone, or even the #Librem5 and #Linux #smartphones in general, we owe a huge debt of gratitude imo to #Megi.

He's not employed to do this, but donates hundreds of his own personal hours helping to get the hardware working, increase battery life (over and over) and generally make a huge amount of the smartphone progress we've seen, happen.

I'm personally extremely grateful and encourage everyone to donate at the bottom of his page here:

We are proud that mobian developer kop316 has now gone for a real fork of the unmaintained mmsd and will be trying to get it into Debian. Also @purism will be using his code on the Librem5. It goes both ways! This will hopefully become the basis for The Next Generation of mmsd:

i've booted mainline linux on this (ls1028a) but still working on the display pipeline, which is kinda nuts (mali dp->cadence mhdp (imx8 flavored)) and gpu (GC7000UL). so far:
- monitor/edid detected on DP and have mali dp fb0, but stays black
- etnaviv binds but MMU faults

on a positive note: lots of peripherals work and the cortex-a72s feel snappy

If you want to have a cool #retroarch setup on postmarketOS edge like lazzardo, check out the new wiki page he wrote:
wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Ret

Most devices, like his BQ Aquaris X5, or the #pinephone and #librem5 need a touch input scaling patch. So he created one, upstreamed it to RetroArch and applied in Alpine 🎉
