#postmarketOS is now shipping #systemd built from unpatched upstream source code, thanks to all the amazing folks involved with adding #musl libc support ๐
Do you like graphic design, are not a coder, and want to contribute to #postmarketOS ?
We're missing a rad slideshow to inform and entertain folks while they wait for our OS installer app to finish, and we could use your help creating graphics/images for one! Otherwise this just looks... sad and boring ๐
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:
@npub188an...xt96 and I will be running a #postmarketOS table in a few days at #fossy2025 in Portland, OR.
Come on by if you wanna chat about running real Linux on phones, any of the stuff we're working on these days, or just wanna say hi ๐

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
๐
1) IIUC kvm works under linux on this, unlike on my existing qcom laptop that can't reach el2 without losing remoteprocs ๐ซ
omg I totally forgot to announce this when I merged it but...
#postmarketOS has a new installer for laptops and tablets! ๐
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 ๐ฅ
