Just landed on Indiegogo: crowdfunding for a £1,100 per unit new Linux phone, the Liberux NEXX.

The specs are impressive, and it is the kind of thing I'd love to support, but wow that's a lot of money.

More than I'm willing to gamble, frankly, by a significant margin, but perhaps it might appeal to you!

Devices like the PinePhone and Librem 5 are slowly carving out space for open mobile computing. These are not sleek consumer devices built for mass market appeal. They are platforms built by and for developers, hackers, and those who demand control over their hardware. With full root access, modular apps, and support for desktop-grade Linux distros like postmarketOS, Mobian, and Arch ARM, they challenge the locked-down nature of traditional smartphones.

While performance and battery life still lag behind mainstream phones, the focus is on freedom: running your own code, replacing parts, and escaping corporate ecosystems. For privacy advocates and tinkerers alike, Linux phones represent a small but significant shift in how we think about mobile tech.

Librem 5 protip: listening to music on a cheap pair of tiny in-ear headphones in a noisy environment? Enable HD Bass to wake the bass guitarist up:

amixer -D hw:L5 sset 'HD Bass' on

Privacy is calling. Will you answer?

Ditch surveillance phones.

Try the Librem 5 + AweSIM — privacy-first smartphone + service.

Unlimited talk, text, & data
Built on PureOS (open-source Linux)
Your data ≠ their profit
No contracts, no ads, no spyware

Big carriers track your every move.

AweSIM shields your identity from Big Tech & foreign surveillance.

Just installed #PostmarketOS on a #OnePlus6 I bought for this purpose (writing this toot on it rn ). Been working great except for two things:
- Megapixels is missing some oneplus,enchilada.ini config file and I can't figure out where to get it from...
- Chatty won't start from the app menu. It starts fine from the command line, but that's not really practical
If anyone has any idea, help is welcome

So, when these Apple devices die (or rather, when the updates have slowed them down enough, and the battery has depleted to the point of not getting through the day - which should be next year or the year after, if the pattern holds)… my next devices will be some of the following, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of getting them to work… any recommendations?

Phone options:
- Pine Phone
- Fair Phone
- Murena
- Librem
- Pro 1x
- Volla Phone
- SageTea XFone

Watches:
- Any of these with AsteroidOS: https://wiki.asteroidos.org/index.php/Category:Watches
- PineTime
- ZSwatch:

Any suggestions or advice?

Er der nogen her som har erfaring med

hvilken #Linuxphone kan håndtere vores elskede

Det er tid at gå (tilbage) til #linux på #mobil - men de to apps er ligesom #cantDoWithout ...

tak!

I attached an #RTLSDR USB receiver to my @Furilabs #FLX1. It works as expected, in this screenshot receiving all of our neighbor's wireless weather stations.

(And the odd wireless tire pressure sensor, now I have to find that Toyota and tell its owner it's too low)

My #SailfishOS app #BitSailor (a native #BitWarden client) just git an update which speeds up most operations significantly if the experimental local api is enabled.

Mich rüde ja echt mal interessieren auf welcher handware / phone diese #postmakrtos am besten läuft!? Gibt es da irgendwo eine Art Übersicht? Ist es schon gut einsetzbar in der Praxis oder doch nur Spielerei? #linuxonmobile #linuxphone

Apparently the #Furilabs #FLX1 actually did have the hardware to drive an external display over USB-C and it's now being made usable. That changes the value proposition of the device a lot!
