Alright, it's time to finally start using this account.

For those that are unaware, we moved from Fosstodon to TH.S on April 26, 2025 and we haven't posted anything on this account since then.. until now.

A quick introduction, we're the maintainer of an Arch-based distribution for #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro and #PineTab2 and our latest release (at the time of this toot) was in December last year (it's been that long, huh)

This account will be used to post updates and news about that distribution.

Thanks treehouse.systems team for letting us in. 😎

The Wi-Fi driver on the #PineTab2 appears to be much more stable now. Kernel 6.15.2 coming soon. Stay tuned!

@alexeymin Hi, sorry for the late reply.

The PineStore has stopped producing the PineBook Pro since around the beginning of the year. I'm not certain if that goes for individual replacement components as well. I'll ask in the morning.

@duncan_bayne they haven't been on sale for many years. We don't run the PineStore website, but I'll let them know.

decided to write a guide on how to mainline the rest of the patches for the pinephone pro: https://forum.mainlining.org/t/upstream-pinephone-pro-patches/138

no programming experience required (well maybe just a tad)! just a willingness to learn. also you need the pinephone pro to be able to mainline :P

Upstream Pinephone Pro Patches!

This is a noob-friendly guide on how to mainline patches to mainline linux for the pinephone pro (short form: ppp). This should help you get your first patch into the Linux kernel! Any questions? Ask away! What does “mainlining” mean exactly? An Android or Linux device usually has some drivers to make peripherals (eg. touchscreen, battery, etc.) work. The problem is that these devices usually run an outdated Linux kernel. That means you are constantly rebasing and testing changes on top of main...

Upgraded all of my working arm64 #postmarketOS devices to the latest #phosh #systemd edge! Also wrote a small script to do all my preferred app installs and some configurations (my custom squeekboard layout, autostart TouchpadEmulator, set default scaling to 200%) to make reinstalling less painful.

Been working on a #Kirby watchface for the Pine64 Pinetime, and I gotta say, I'm pretty proud of the unstable mess I've made considering I don't know anything about C++.

I know, many have been asking for this and even more out there didn’t even dare to ask.

But finally, the wait is over:

You can now use your #PinephonePro running #FreeBSD to do all your #Borland C++ #OS2 development while waiting for 1997 to arrive.

Nemomobile in May 2025

In the past month, several improvements have been made across the Nemo ecosystem to accommodate recent changes in the Kremium API. A number of core applications were updated, the lock screen experience was significantly enhanced, and support for UI scaling was improved. […]

@blogs looks nice, does the image also works with the venerable pinephone beta edition?

@Albirew @blogs It's pretty much about trying and debugging things yourself. In general, I'm happy when a new image boots on my PinePhone.

@blogs ive been following this project for a bit... why do you stick to manjaro vs pmos or danctnix? Genuinely curious as someone that cannot contribute (ie pls don't take as an attack, just curious).

@qkalligula @blogs We want to leave the maintenance of basic parts of the OS to someone else — we don’t want to recompile Qt, autotools, the kernel, and many other packages ourselves. There’s also OBS for rebuilding packages on top of openSUSE.
We don’t have a strong preference, but using a different distro would require someone to do the extra work.
