Today's #Linux playtime: Exploring #PostmarketOS #Duranium on a Pixel 3a. Lots of rough edges, no sound, and no Bluetooth, but it boots and runs games. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

@fabian_schluep @postmarketOS have not tried #Duranium and would love to hear about your experiences! I am running edge phosh on FP5
fabian_schluepMar 20
Finally got myself a Fairphone5 for testing @postmarketOS. Any advice on how to proceed? First intalling the "normal" version or directly aim for #Duranium? And if it's the latter, how is it done? Any hints apreciated.

New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made.

Last week the Rebble team made accusations that […]
