Gave my talk β€œCan you daily-drive postmarketOS?” today at #postmarketOSAndAlpineLinuxConference2026. Thanks everyone for the support; it was a blast!

It’s my first conference talk, so I’m happy it came together hehe

Many thanks to all the organizers of the conf, who made all this possible, and to everyone who attended and spoke, who made it unforgettable.

Congrats on the new name to @nura@treehouse.systems (go follow them!), and here’s to another amazing year.

I would like to write postmarketOS documentation on how to port U-Boot to new boards, focusing on mobile devices and their quirks. But, because I do not have personal experience with porting U-Boot, I need help.

Thus, does anybody have experience with porting U-Boot to a new board and would be willing to answer some questions about the process? Bonus points if U-Boot was ported without the board having good mainline Linux support.

Question: Do you have a todo-list app on your phone? Something for simple things like the shopping list - not for project management.

Boosts appreciated ;)

If you own a Motorola Moto G4 Play (motorola-harpia) and wish to see it back in postmarketOS, please consider testing gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/… .

I’ll get to testing it eventually, but I am a bit busy right now. I doubt it doesn’t work, as it was only archived for being unmaintained, but it still obviously needs testing.

The harpia is one of, if not the cheapest mainline device that is well-supported (you can get it for ~15 USD if you are lucky).

Has anyone made a child friendly device using #postmarketos ? Ie: no login process, only shows a limited number of curated apps, ideally can only go from showing app menu to one of the apps and back.

The #Phosh interface and experience looks more complicated than I was hoping for.

Coming at last? Hopefully.

Signal without requiring an iOS or Android smartphone would indeed be a much welcome development!

So you added a user account to your linux (mobile) for any reason? That account will never be used to login to #Linux?

Well, it will show up on your login screen unless you picked an uid from the range of system accounts.

On #Mobian and #postmarketOS the login screen is presented by the greeter run from greetd. For #Phosh the greeter is #Phrog. The user accounts to show on the login screen are requested from #AccountsServices.

One way to get rid of an user account on the login screen is to mark it as a system account: USER=<username>; echo -e β€˜[User]\nSystemAccount=true’ | sudo tee /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER; sudo chmod 600 /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER

#PostmarketOS allows to have multiple users. If automatic login is disabled on start a login screen is shown presented by #greetd typically running as the system user greetd.

greetd is logged in automatically to do its magic and systemd starts all the configured user services for that user.

#udiskie is integrated as such a service and mounts all removable media to /run/media/greetd - on my #Shift6mq the sdcard.

After logging in the greetd user session is logout out and the new session for the authenticated user is started. udiskie for the greetd session is stopped leaving the sdcard mounted to the path for greetd.

udiskie starts for the authenticated user, but does not mount the removable media, because it is already mounted for the former logged in greetd.

No music in #gapless 🀷

An easy way around this is to change the service file for udiskie to the new version from the example directory of udiskies repository by copying it to /etc/systemd/user/.

Once systemd picked up the changes udiskie will not be started for system users anymore and systemd will run udiskie-umount after stopping the service on user logout.

Now one UserA can logout and UserB can use the same sdcard if file permissions allow.

Is anyone coming to the #postmarketOS conference with a fairphone 6 that I could hack on for a few hours? I would like to try and debug this issue so we can get #duranium working on the fp6, but I don’t own one of these πŸ™ƒ

I would need to install pmOS on it, which means reflashing (so don’t volunteer if you rely on your device for anything πŸ˜…)

been really enjoying tinkering with #postmarketos recently, so it has inspired me to make this fun little design. can’t bring myself to finish the entire thing though O_o

what do you think?

Stylised vector drawing consisting of two panels, reminiscent of an IKEA furniture assembly manual.

First panel: On the left is a man is looking worried/confused, holding a smartphone in his hand. On the right, he is smiling, holding up an analogue phone to his head with his other hand (his pinky finger is sticking out). The analogue phone is connected to a globe with the postmarketOS logo on it, above it is a link to "https://wiki.postmarketos.org/".

Second panel: Exaggerated action pose of the now-joyous man jumping up. He is holding up his postmarketOS-enabled smartphone to the viewer. The smartphone has a smile on it.

We are thrilled to present this episode on @postmarketOS@treehouse.systems πŸ“±

We’ve taken the time to produce this in-depth interview as part of our series on #mobilelinux to tell the story behind #postmarketOS β€” how it works and its governance structure.

This project is especially close to our hearts, and this episode highlights the human and organizational aspects of the project.

A huge thank you to @RannyBergamotte@garudalinux.org and @ayakael@agora.ilot.io for joining us!

Thanks to Ranny for completely rewriting the English translation.

We hope you enjoy reading this interview πŸ“–!
