QuadRadicalHas anyone gotten The Alto Collection (Alto's Adventure / Alto's Odyssey) to run on Linux mobile / Linux arm64 outside of Waydroid?
MatGot a new device booting #postmarketOS with the help of @aelin, this was really fun!
Of course a lot is missing (like flashing the root partition) but hey it works!

postmarketOSWe are excited to announce that LaT3St is now a trusted contributor in postmarketOS!
He is a maintainer of the Google Nexus 10 (google-manta) device, maintains its U-Boot port, and daily drives the Oneplus 6T to catch issues early! 🥳

oemmesSollte es doch die Möglichkeit geben geile Hardware mit geiler Software zu benutzen?
Und damit etliche Altgeräte vor der Schrottkiste zu bewahren?
Und da es die Geräte nur noch gebraucht gibt, sind die sogar halbwegs bezahlbar...
Und von gebraucht gekaufter Hardware profitiert Apple nicht mal.
Ist das ein win-win-win-win???

Since forever #postmarketOS has had to rely on various hacky solutions in our custom shell-based initramfs to access the nested GPT which actually contains the root/boot partitions. It's necessary to do this since modifying the partition table on Android phones can very quickly lead to bricks.
However, thanks to this awesome patch by @craftyguy (and @bluca ) in the new Systemd v261 release we no longer need to deal with any of this!
The immutable #Duranium version of postmarketOS runs systemd in the initramfs and it now automatically sets up loop devices for nested partition tables with ZERO additional configuration! (well technically it has been shipping this patch for a little while already :D)
I think I'd cry if I knew how many hours we have collectively spent dealing with weird dumb bugs in the initramfs, so having all of this just be handled by systemd is so SO nice. The value of the event-driven declarative service model really can't be understated imho, especially when it comes to quirky things like loop devices.

DebacleNotfalls auf ein freies OS umsteigen, z.B. #Mobian oder #PostmarketOS. Geht leider nur mit ausgewählter Hardware 😞

I'm so happy so many people I like are going to be present. Really looking forward to meet all the amazing people in our community!
CalicosineI dislike Android and Samsung only makes it tolerable. At least the version I'm on. I don't know what I'm going to do when I decide to move to a new phone. Hopefully Linux on phones is far enough along for my needs and pmOS Duranium is stable enough by that point. Not going to get a newer iPhone because they're all gesture-based now and I prefer the surety of a button press.
