Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (13/2026): Spring Cleaning

This past week: A PINE64 Community Update with (no actual?) news on a PinePhone 2, Phosh 0.54 release candidate tagged at Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2026, postmarketOS announces archival of unmaintained devices after v26.06, first batch of Jolla Phone preorders ready to be completed, and way more. Collected in a city known for a famous tragedy. Enjoy!

[FOSDEM] Call for Participation: FOSS on Mobile devroom @ FOSDEM 2026

I'm super-excited that the #LinuxOnMobile stand will be returning to #FOSDEM in 2026!

Last year we had an amazing experience meeting fellow enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

This year we plan to have even more phones, devices and distros for you to play with.

We're not the only FOSS/mobile stand and with any luck we'll be close together like last year.

Excited to announce that the FOSS on Mobile devroom returns for #fosdem 2026! 🥳

Communities from multiple Linux Mobile projects come together there and hold talks about what was achieved, what challenges lie ahead, how we can collaborate to solve them, as well as random interesting things happening when replacing Google's Android on our phones.

If you have been doing cool stuff in this ecosystem, we want to hear from you - consider submitting a talk!

"Will 2026 be the year of the Mainline Linux Smartphone?"

Slides of my talk from this year's FOSS on Mobile workshop at FroSCON are online and linked here:

https://programm.froscon.org/2025/events/3434.html

Originally, the talk was targeted at LinuxMobile developers. Yet I was very pleased that so many other people showed up. As it turned out, most of them don't use LinuxMobile on their daily driver smartphone today - and this is exactly what we need to change!
