What is LINMOB.net?
LINMOB.net is a blog on LINux on MOBile devices, that has been around for more than 10 years - on and off. Now, with new exciting products like the Pine64 PinePhone and Purisms Librem 5 scheduled to be shipped later this year, it has come back to report on all things GNU/Linux on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and smaller notebooks.
This site is currently hosted on Framagit.

Shortform
You can follow updates and shortform related content that is not worth a blog post on the Fediverse @linmob@fosstodon.org. We also have accounts on bluesky, Xitter @linmobblog and Nostr npub1llxd4l8zzc5dta4cnatk4r3tmt86pcvj4fcgkk8wfdlufjpwll4qyku4l3 that mostly announce new blog posts. All accounts are run and monitored by Peter.

How can I contribute?
Content
If you have an idea for an article or have actually written something, you are welcome to send it to me via email or submit it via Merge Request on framagit. We can't offer payment, but you'll be credited. We're going to get back to you as soon as we can.
If you want to submit a proper markdown post with all bells and whistles, you can use our post composer - it should make things easier.
It's also perfectly fine to submit a teaser for a relevant post you have published somewhere else, e.g., on your own blog!
I don't have time, but I have money
If you want to contribute money, please support the people that develop software for the PinePhone and other Platforms, e.g.
- UBports, who build Ubuntu Touch,
- Ondřej Jirman (Megi), who works on the PinePhone kernel,
- Mobian, a great Debian-based distribution,
- postmarketOS, the real Linux distribution for phones, that runs (well, boots) on more phones every day,
- Phosh/Guido Guenther, the developer of Peter's favorite Mobile Shell,
- Plasma Mobile, who build a great GUI for phones,
- Lune OS, who are keeping webOS alive, and
- individual app developers!
If we've missed a great project that has a donation link and should be added here in your opinion, please tell us about it!
