I'm super happy to share, that the #Fairphone (Gen. 6) was just announced, and we've been able to already publish a lot of code for it!

* #postmarketOS support is submitted
* 59(!) patches were sent to bring up upstream #Linux on the SM7635 SoC and enable the device.
* The stock Android source code is public on code.fairphone.com

This has been a lot of work over the last couple of months so it's awesome to finally be able to share it!

We are planning to update apk-tools to 3.0 in edge repository on July 1, 2025.

We are keeping the apk 2 index and package formats for now, so everything *should* just work, but scripts parsing the output of apk may need to be adjusted.

#AlpineLinux

Making music with code in real time, fancy rsync, an open source real time strategy engine, advanced print debugging, EU-based DNS resolvers, and European government departments moving away from Microsoft and they might stick with Linux and FOSS this time.

thanks everyone who helped make the new #postmarketOS release! they just get better and better every time.

i continue to be more and more hopeful that we will deliver on our mission to build a production ready OS, made by and for the community that continue to contribute (whether through code, reports, debugging, or donations).

we are not stopping with systemd... next up will be factory reset support, update rollbacks, EFI on qualcomm phones, immutability, and huge tooling improvements

embedded edition is also on my mind, we need better ways to build and maintain embedded systems and we absolutely have the raw ingredients
