Theoratically you can install the OS to the sdcard and “live boot” the kernel with (afaik) pmbootstrap flasher boot. But you’ll always need a PC to boot it and can’t use a pre-built image.

Afaik they were supposed to do a movie still but that sadly never happened.

I agree with you, just leaving that galaxy behind was a very disappointing ending.

Oh no, they cancelled it? I was still hoping for a season 😢

It looks native and is made to be Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen friendly. Enough reason for me 🤷 I do not personally like RetroArch’s UI in non-console settings.

There should be a button on the sources page to do so if it isn’t already enabled.

Make sure you have https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/discover-backend-flatpak installed. It should be there by default but perhaps something went wrong.

That’s not supported. We did support it in the past but deemed it too much of a hack and a maintenance nightmare. Software needs to explictely support it, and not much does. Instead we rather mainline devices.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. Plasma’s Discover allows installing and updating exactly the same apps as GNOME’s Software Center do. There is no “segmentation” there?

And that “standard packaging format that works on all Mobile Linux platforms” is basically Flatpak, and we support it. Not sure why Ubuntu Touch doesn’t, but that’s their problem, even SailfishOS supports it nowadays.

Sadly no. Tbh although I loved the device, it’s sadly dead in the water. No one is working on it and there is no mainline support to speak off. The display doesn’t even work.

They’re all searching for “solutions” but nobody is creating them. Funny how most of the people complaining about systemd aren’t actually system devs themselves and thus have no clue what they’re talking about.

Nobody (not even GNOME) is actively wanting to force systemd and keep out alternatives, there just aren’t any proper alternatives offering the same kind of functionality and quality.

By far most planes in that screenshot are over land. You’re right, when you have to cross an ocean to get somewhere there isn’t really any alternative, but for all those over land they could’ve constructed and rode high speed railways instead. Countries like China and Japan show they can be proper alternatives, and there is no reason to use anything else for those distances.

Eh, it’s a SUV. It doesn’t excuse this but you shouldn’t have bought that box of death on wheels in the first place.

What is your reasoning for not just using capital letters where grammar requires it? I agree with OP, it makes it very annoying to read the way it is now.

You really need to give us more details than this, “bootimg_analyze fails” tells us exactly nothing. Also the best place for porting support would be our porting channel on Matrix, #porting:postmarketos.org, there are more people there knowledgeable about this.

The distros aren’t the problem, the DE’s are. Otherwise yeah agreed 😉

Ok but you’re talking about Cinnamon. Cinnamon’s Wayland support is experimental sure, but that doesn’t mean Wayland itself is. I mentioned KDE Plasma and GNOME because they are the ones using Wayland for the longest now and have the best support for it and there it works better than X11.

Yup, that’s the exact same problem I had. And I heard more stories of people having this problem. It’s bad…

I had the same display failure, but 4 times in about 9 months. It made me pretty done with the whole thing. I only got the laptop back from the repair centre 2 or so weeks ago but I have no faith the issue is properly fixed now. Let’s see how it turns out, if it happens again I’m going to throw this thing out of the window.

Wayland hasn’t been experimental for a while. Both KDE Plasma and GNOME have defaulted to Wayland for a while now indicating it’s ready to be used. And in fact, scaling works better on Wayland than on X11 but I suppose ymmv.

I have the AMD edition and overall the laptop is nice but since I received the laptop about 9 months ago the screen broke 4 times. I only got it back 2 or so weeks ago from the repaircenter so I have only been able to actually use it for a few weeks. So my experience is pretty terrible so far. I honestly have no faith the screen is durably fixed this time but let’s see, I’m pretty done with it.
