Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (16/2025): Counting Easter Eggs
Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

You can now get three kinds of #PureOS subscription from @purism!
Each of them:
- Helps maintaining releases and bug fixes
- Helps pushing code to other projects
Free and Open Source Software (#FOSS) developers also need an #income!
Consider subscribing if you want to advance #Linux #privacy friendly computing or if you are using #MobileLinux.
#GNUHealth Hospital Management 4.4 installation instructions for #PureOS ready. As a bonus, you can run #MyGNUhealth. Nice to see both side-by-side

We hope to see you all there! We'll show of some devices running all our awesome software and will gladly answer all your questions and show you all the new cool stuff that happened since last year!
As this came up multiple times: phosh 0.20.0 currently requires GTK animations to be on:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations true
So if you (or your distro) turned it off please enable it before updating as otherwise you won't be able to use the overview.
I know animations are on by default in #pureos and #debian so nothing to do there.

Thank you Unbox Therapy https://youtu.be/hVcJgCvFuWo for featuring our Librem 13 Laptop https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-13/ and thoroughly demoing the hardware kill switches.
