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.

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.
