PocketVJ aka magdesignwe just got this amazing #decentralized #reticulum #messenger application called #Columba.
If someone could port this to #pmos #linuxmobile we could communicate together without internet... this is freaking awesome...

I can finally work on it (managed to unlock my device's bootloader and currently the kernel is flashing)

OnePlus 6(T)
The cameras don't work properly but in other respects it's about as good as you can currently get for #PMOS
I tried out #mobian on my OnePlus 6T today, to see how it compared with #postmarketOS (and to see if its camera app works better). Appraisal: since both of them use Phosh, the differences are subtle. #mobian camera app is no better. Moving excessively wide windows around to see them properly works better in #pmos. Subjectively, I think #pmos is a bit better than #mobian, but it's not a big difference. While the photos are still unsatisfactory on both of those mobile Linuxes, I'm sticking mostly with #UBports #Ubuntutouch
Hippo ๐@shakil_tcs oh yes, Librephone! I didn't get why it's still Android-dependent though. I saw someone from #pmOS talking about that too 
The focus of #NGIMobifree also seems to be mainly Android and Android dependent things. Good things like #Fdroid, it's true, but still I wonder if there's space for non-Android things in the research and funds?

Not sure whether this counts as successful, but I find the UBports Forum gets a fair amount of traction from more- and less-tech savvy people alike, and I would value something like that for #pmos. Even if it's mainly people griping about this or that, at least everyone including devs can see what the users' priorities are, which seems like good Requirements Engineering

Since you asked for an opinion:
I've been using Ubuntu Touch for 10+ years now. It functions GREAT but ultimately rests on AOSP, Android blobs etc. So lately I've been trying out #postmarketOS on a phone. It is generally very impressive, but the cameras don't really work (yet?) bcs the stack for them has still not yet been fully reverse-engineered. On many other #pmos โphonesโ, calls and SMS don't work yet. So, significant additional work needs to be done to get to a true librephone it seems. It would be great if such work could be accelerated, but ยฃโฌ$ยฅโน and time, I guess.

Yeah you're right that's one of the reasons I use #UBports #UbuntuTouch as my daily driver. But I've been experimenting with #pmos on my old phone because I like the idea of getting mainline Linux working properly on a phone, and #pmos is so *nearly* there, yet so far away because hardly anyone wants a smartphone without working cameras
