A few folks have asked me why I decided nearly 2 years ago to leave a great job to work on pmOS full-time for little pay, etc, so I wrote some words about my experience and perspective on the whole matter: It was a scary decision, but I still feel like I made the right choice. I hope me sharing this is useful for folks in a similar position :D
Does anyone in the US want to donate (or sell to me for cheap) an Apple M1 or M2 macbook so I can: - Improve the #postmarketOS port for this device - Use it to speed up my pmOS development[1] because using qemu/kvm to test is soooo helpful for the work I do ๐Ÿ˜ 1) IIUC kvm works under linux on this, unlike on my existing qcom laptop that can't reach el2 without losing remoteprocs ๐Ÿซ 
omg I totally forgot to announce this when I merged it but... #postmarketOS has a new installer for laptops and tablets! ๐ŸŽ‰ You can find images at postmarketos.org/download. Currently only pre-built images exist for Lenovo X13s and Generic x86_64, but it's easy to enable building images for other devices if there's enough interest! It uses os-installer[1] on GNOME desktop, and is intended to be booted from USB disk to install pmOS onto local storage ๐Ÿ”ฅ 1. image
