Ever wanted to use your phone's NFC reader on Linux? Now you can — right from GNOME! I built a minimal NFC app using neard and D-Bus — no hacks, no proprietary drivers. Just run the daemon, tap a tag, and it works. 👉 https://gitlab.gnome.org/dh/gnfc/ 1/2 #nfc #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #Mobian #NixOS #postmarketOS

What works today: read & import vCards from NFC tags, and detect any tag read — great for verifying your hardware is actually enabled. It's early but real. Contributions and feedback very welcome — let's make Linux NFC happen! 🏷️ 2/2

@okias @z3ntu does this work with postmarketOS on Fairphone?

@darkdragon @z3ntu should work (depend on FP model, if nfc is implemented in-kernel) on any distribution.

@okias @darkdragon So in short: only Fairphone 3(+) so far, Fairphone 4, 5 and Gen. 6 do not have NFC support in the kernel yet. But there now being an end-user usable way of at least reading NFC tags, there may be some more motivation now (though it's still quite low as there's way more important features that need to be worked on) :)
