@linmob ok and there's an option for other desktops, like #KDE_plasma_mobile, or #Gnome_mobile_shell, or #SXMO, too?
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (11/2025): #Libadwaita 1.7 and news from #Sxmo
If you always wanted to run a tiling window manager on your smartphone, give Sxmo a try.
They just added a nice getting started guide to nicely illustrate how gestures are used to open the menu, bring up and close the keyboard, switch between workspaces and more:

Great work @pocketvj and Sxmo team!
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (09, 10/2025): Too much to put in a title
Exploring ways to improve my #sxmo use cases https://floss.social/@dimitrisk/112864085895621222 I tried the #textualize demo on my #LinuxMobile device. It seems quite interesting.
Is there any RSS reader, Podcasts or Web radio textualize application?
@rolandlo @NekoCWD @postmarketOS Looks like #phosh (which uses phoc as compositor). Should also work on #sxmo (using sway).
Just a reminder about the meetup in Christchurch, New Zealand on February 26.
The topic is Linux Mobile and I (Dan) will bring 4 devices:
#OnePlus6
- OS: #postmarketOS | Environment: #plasmamobile
#PinephonePro
- OS: postmarketOS | Environment: #gnomemobile
- OS on SD card: #Mobian | Environment: #phosh
#Pinephone (braveheart + upgraded motherboard)
- OS: #Archlinux | Environment: #sxmo
Pinephone (braveheart)
- OS/Environment: #UbuntuTouch
1/2
@linmob @tuxdevices @jubei This reminds me, I recently came across an #sxmo review video by 'Bitter Epic Technology' that starts with a funny sketch about such a #linuxpay technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-xrjGqhHok
@benjaminedwardwebb #postmarketOS #gnomemobile is my fave. #sxmo is a bit experimental but nice if ya dont need cloud contacts or calendars.
I recently purchased a PinePhone Pro (partly because my pixel 4a's battery life has been severely impacted by the recent update).
Anyone have any advice on what software to install? Any guides to share beyond the PinePhone wiki? I've never used a mobile Linux device. I'm hoping to get NixOS and sxmo working on it at some point ...
My #sxmo talk at #fosdem2025 last week is now available on-line: https://video.fosdem.org/2025/h2214/fosdem-2025-5926-sxmo-a-mobile-ui-for-hackers.av1.webm
For the first time ever, I met actual people using #sxmo and #postmarketos, in the flesh! At #fosdem2025 .
Fifth talk in #FOSSonMobile at #fosdem2025:

@T_X Also the bet i made 5y ago is won: how disappointing it seemed at first, it is the power of the communities, the cleverness of the free/libre software developpers and users, and the personal work on tweaking and tinkering that made it over time get way better: more performance, adequation to my own needs, battery life even!
I composed an environment based on the free/libre modem "distro" https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pinephone_modem_sdk, #postmarketOS edge, #sxmo and mostly TUI tools: #tut #aerc #gomuks #links -g
@mossyfoot @mapache try installing linux on an old android phone... #postmarketos might be a good start, and use #sxmo for the ui if you want to do extra tinkering. Bonus points if you can get audio to work reliably with phone calls
Figured out subscribing to subscribe to rss feeds in #offpunk. Gonna use this to get news. Also adding a #sxmo hook on the #pinephonepro to automatically sync offpunk the second a network connection goes up.
I was quite pleased with my worldtime menu for sxmo_gshock so I extracted it as a standalone script for #sxmo

It just launches a clock for the selected timezone, but its quite handy to be able to pick it from the map thanks to #mepo
