Small donations but I really like to be able to give something. This month, I gave a bit to:
- @gentoo
- @postmarketOS
- @kde
- #firefox
- @godotengine
- and #megi who does incredible work with #pine64 devices

@godotengine 's one-time donation is still a pain to find. Still have to go through https://godot.foundation/#donate - there's no easy way to reach it from https://godotengine.org/

Godot Foundation

The Godot Foundation strives to help the Godot Engine continue to break down barriers to video game development and make it possible for everyone to create high quality video games, regardless of who they are and where they are located.

Why isn‘t #megi upstreaming their #PinePhone #Linux #Kernel patches?
Most popular Linux distros for the Pinephone use the same custom version of the Linux kernel, developed by megi, but that developer has shut down their GitHUb account, making it more difficult to work with. At least one is considering dropping support for the original Pinephone and PineTab. https://blog.mobian.org/posts/2023/09/30/paperweight-dilemma/ #PinePhone #Linux #LinuxSmartphones #MobileLinux #megi

Megi's rk2aw tool can change the boot ROM bootloader load order on some devices with Rockchip processors to make it easier to boot first from an SD card. Works with the PinePhone Pro and other devices with RK3399, RK3588, and RK3566/68 chips. https://xnux.eu/rk2aw/

What’s the process to get another person’s kernel commits into the mainline kernel? Specifically looking at the #megi kernel. I know there was an effort a while back where a group formed to upstream that work, but I seem to have lost that

#ArchLinux / #danctnix now ships #Linux #megi 6.4 which has all #PinePhonePro patches for correct camera rotation and location (front/back - used for automatic mirroring in some apps and better camera naming).

This is a great step for having a good camera experience out of the box - the only thing still missing is #wireplumber being installed by default (see https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/issues/537)

After that, one can e.g. install #gnomesnaphot or @dino from #Flathub and it should just work.

2023–07–06: Sneak peek of rk2aw – what's comming up soon

Just came home and there are great news: the last patch needed for the #PinePhonePro to expose proper camera orientation (front/back) just got pulled into #megi #Linux 6.4. Together with previously landed patches (partly upstream, partly megi) for the right rotations (90/270 deg), users using #PipeWire and #libcamera will have a much better camera experience.

Meanwhile, there's a coup attempt in 🇷🇺 by Wagner. I'd say a good day for #LinuxMobile, 🇺🇦 and the world :)
