If you're interested in a semi-beginner friendly contribution opportunity in #postmarketOS, we currently have an issue with using Podman/Distrobox in the Console terminal emulator. @craftyguy already investigated it and found a probable root cause, so either just verifying his hypothesis or sending an actual fix upstream would be helpful!

See https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/work_items/4469 for more information.

I don't think I remember the last time I wrote code... Maybe like 2 or 3 weeks ago? And that is sinking like 20+ hours a week on #postmarketOS

It's quite crazy how governance and coordinating with people takes so much time 😅 The results are totally worth it though!

Since switching to #postmarketOS, one of the things I missed most from Android is this curious keyboard app "Unexpected Keyboard," which lets you access most symbols with a swipe. Importantly for Linux, it has Ctrl, Tab, Escape, and arrows!

I found a repo called "Unfettered Keyboard" (by @flamingradian), which is a faithful port of the base features from my favorite keyboard! I switched to #PlasmaMobile a couple days back and am so thrilled to be able to use this keyboard on it!!

Last night I opened a draft merge request to open up #postmarketOS #pmbootstrap's flashing interface to more use-cases by adding a new "flash" subcommand that takes a path to any arbitrary file and the name of the partition to flash. It works like the existing flashing subcommands, i.e. no need to install and set up any flashing tools on your host—especially useful if your OS does not provide easy access to up-to-date device flashing tools.

Yesterday I fixed the Fairphone 5 audio on my Archlinux system, just for myself (afaik I'm the only user of my FP5 stuff).

Within that day, @wrenix submitted a pmOS patch and 3 separate people already approved it (with Luca not even being one of them).

@FestplattenSchnitzel even ported the fix to the FP4 and tested it.

PostmarketOS might not be able to win me over from Arch with their software, but the community they managed to build is impressive.
