Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (20/2025): A Linux Phone From Africa and #Phosh 0.47.0

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (20/2025): A Linux Phone From Africa and #Phosh 0.47.0
Just a FYI, #Lomiri (Unity 8) being merged in #postmarketOS is a massive achievement.
Essentially, this tightens the gap between pmOS and the near-Android Ubuntu Touch UI that lots of people liked. Thanks @justsoup!

#digitalemuendigkeit with #debian on smartphones, aka #mobian . I was suprised that over 20 people joined yesterdays meetup and some brought their #linuxphones with them. People played around with #phosh #kdeplasma #mobian #postmarketos #Fairphone5 ..
Also thanks @awai for the #pinephonepro rental. It was used to present the slides and was flashed with #mobian trixie. People could choose between #lomiri, #phosh and #kdeplasma in the login manager.
Since I am the newest Trusted Contributor with #postmarketOS I thought I would give a little introductory post.
Heyo! My name is Aster (they/them) and I do stuff with #Linux! I am hard at work getting immutability up and running on pmOS with the help of the amazing work being done to port #systemd.
You may know me for my work on #Lomiri on pmOS, my favorite #MobileLinux desktop environment!
I also dabble in #Rustlang and a bit of #Haskell.
Excited to work with all of y'all!

wow #lomiri (ubuntu touch) desktop got packaged by @OPNA2608 for #NixOS https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/99090#issuecomment-2056059130
Another #Lomiri on #postmarketOS image; as a treat.
For those wanting to give #Lomiri a try on #postmarketOS based on my last post, I wrote a quick shell script to set up the pmaports environment for you. All you have to do is run the shell script and then run `pmbootstrap init` and make sure to select "y" when prompted "Build outdated packages during 'pmbootstrap install'?".
