Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (12/2026): Immutable Ambitions

This past week: postmarketOS introduces Duranium immutable variant, PureOS Crimson beta and Sailfish OS 5.0.0.77 early access released, a Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Amazfish 2.9.0 and more! Enjoy!

LINux on MOBile
Fun fact: This Weekly Update was mostly composed on the #PinePhonePro (with keyboard accessory) running @postmarketOS edge with #Sxmo:
#shotonlibrem5
@linmob I won’t lie, I kind of want this setup in my life for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I just blew all my money on a Steam Deck OLED, but this looks awesome.
. @linmob Thanks to this, I now know that the #PinephonePro on #pmOS has a working camera app with Snapshot! Thank you! I'm not prepared to use flatpack, so it's great that it is packaged regularly now. Only drawback is that only the front camera works, but that's better than no camera.
@yoshi Back camera works too, but only right after reboot before suspend has been entered once ;-)
@linmob Ah, great! But a really weird bug, that practically makes it useless for daily use...
