While you are right about the disadvantages of the #Halium approach, I would not dismiss it entirely. Because it's a way to get the beauty of the Linux user space to people who just don't have a #PinePhone, #Librem5, or #OnePlus and can't afford another phone. To have progress in the mobile UI, e.g. #Phosh, it's helpful to have as many devices and users as possible. Halium is not the goal, but a step away from Android, towards #Mobian or #PMOS!
Today, I attempted to do a release upgrade of #PostmarketOS on my #PinePhone. I started out with errors on two packages which prevented the upgrade from happening (and which weren't fixable with "apk fix").
Uninstalling those -- fortunately not critical -- and I got the upgrade script to run. Now I'm left with a console login on the phone screen, with no on-screen keyboard. I think a reinstall is in order.
I remain sadly unconvinced by the usability (at all) of PostmarketOS.
@oecher_olli Yeah, I believe that.
Honestly, my real hope is that there will someday be a really *good* two-in-one #Linux distro that runs on your phone when it's a phone but expands into a full DE when you plug into a monitor, and that that distro is #Gnome bc fuck yeah, I'm a Gnome fanboy.
#PinePhone says it'll do that, my a buddy of mine got one and pronounced it "not usable," and I believe him.
#pine64 support seem to be trolling me. I reported that wifi chip stopped working within ~15 minutes, and their response so far has been:
It is almost as if they just want me to go away and stop complaining.
