I should mention we’re adding new bug-fix patches, but as upstreaming continues, we expect the number of downstream-carried patches to drop significantly with each new -next tree tag.

#MobileLinux #Upstreaming #MainlineLinux #LinuxKernel #SDM845
The #upstreaming has begun with my private #FrostWire fork!
Up first: getting rid of the Helper Apps options on #Linux. This will simplify things more and drop some native code.
I have only one requirement for (new) ARM based SBCs: it must boot official Debian or Fedora (pre)releases and have at least some basic functionality!
I am not interested in some "alternative" distribution (e.g. armbian) with a bunch of patches and/or "custom kernels" that will never be upstreamed. Cool you made it work, but I can't use that for anything serious. This makes the selection very very small unfortunately 😞
#Jazda is making #upstreaming progress. It's now a supported board in #TockOS ! Very bare bones, but I'm working on adding drivers.
@DestinationLinux had a reasonably extended discussion in 133 about #Purism's #Librem5, starting a few seconds before the 1 hour mark. Much of it revolved around how other online conversations are less about the #Linux (the #GNOME, #Phosh, #upstreaming, etc. work) and more about the company.
But hey, they had other things on their agenda.
