@dosnostalgic Hey! Following your account made me want to get into 486 gaming. I had a friend in another city pick up a 486 IBM Ambra from 1992 for me. It’s exactly what I had growing up. I can’t wait to get my hands on it! I just need to find a CRT monitor that’s in good shape and I’m gonna Doom like it’s 1993. Keep up the great posts!
@linmob I noticed on YouTube that you had a Samsung Galaxy S II about 12 years ago. Did you ever try Replicant on it? I don't have a phone that can run Replicant, but I'm curious to know how it runs. https://www.replicant.us/
@craftyguy Great update. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.
I recently tried to install #pmOS on my Surface Go 1st gen. It has the potential to be a great x84_64 device for pmOS but flashing to the onboard eMMC is not as straight forward as I had hoped. I think I tried three different ways but I never got it to boot. That was over a month ago though, so I may try again given all the recent developments. In the long term, a USB installer for x86_64 devices would be 👍️.
Does anyone in the fediverse actually own a #Purism Liberty 🗽 phone? I’m curious… does the extra GB of RAM do much to improve the user experience? I’d love to get more RAM in my #Librem5 but that’s never going to happen so I want to hear from you! https://puri.sm/products/liberty-phone/
Certainly old news for some, but a pleasant surprise for me... #Purism has made reflashing #PureOS on the #Librem5 with LUKS encryption ridiculously easy. Just put the phone in flash mode and run these 4 commands in Terminal:
sudo apt install git python3-jenkins python3-tqdm uuu
git clone https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-flash-image.git
cd librem5-flash-image
sudo ./scripts/librem5-flash-image
Set the LUKS passphrase on first boot, change the user password, and you're off!
@droidian The pace of progress on the droidian project is incredible by #linuxmobile standards. What’s the secret? Is it a mix of lessons learned from UBports using Halium with vendor kernels, lessons from Mobian running mainline, and then just combining the two together? I’ll be testing droidian on my OP6 shortly and I’m very excited! Congrats on all the success!
