Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (25/2026): Alpen Avocado and a flip phone by Commodore

2026-06-22T23:12:38+00:00

postmarketOS v26.06 "Alpen Avocado" is out, and Commodore is back with a flip phone running Sailfish OS — at a price. Linux 7.1 released; Ubuntu Touch OTA 2.0 Beta adds Nothing Phone (1) and notch support; KDE Plasma 6.7 ships, with Plasma Mobile improvements; postmarketOS duranium images gain a Waydroid sysext and Bazaar for Flatpak installs, and more!</p> </span>

A Personal Note</summary>

This week's Weekly Update is a day late, because I spent Sunday evening at the hospital with my wife for a check-up. All is well — I'm not a father yet, but this may well be the last Weekly Update where that's still true ;-)</p>

I hope to keep the updates going without major hiccups, but some streamlining is in order: I'm dropping the video collection script</a>, as it pulls in too many irrelevant videos — everything from fishing videos (thanks to the "Sailfish" in "Sailfish OS") to all sorts of AI slop. To put a number on it: the raw file I started with for this update had 139 video links.</p>

So if you find or create relevant video content that was published during the week but didn't make it into the Weekly Update, please add it (along with any other relevant content) to the pad</a> :-) Also, linmob.net is open for relevant guest posts. Thanks in advance!</p> </details>

matt: "This is a challenge to everyone who says that generative AI is unethical, that it's an indictment of the software industry, etc. What are we going to do about the fact that at least one group, blind people, is now effectively using LLM-based coding agents to vibe-code solutions to accessibility problems? Maybe that is</em> an indictment of how the software industry neglects accessibility and the needs of blind people. And of the complexity of "real programming". What will we do about it?"</a></li>

So I am actually able to boot into #ubuntutouch running inside a VM with tracing via serial. That helped to validate that the new code actually does the same as downstream. The approach is not perfect though. The UART is very slow, the VM runs only with a single CPU core.</a></li> sd: "So I’ve been quiet for a bit about my progress running #ubuntutouch on the Google Pixel 9a. The reason is that I mostly enjoy experimenting with new stuff, so after I got call audio working, I wasn’t too keen to work on polishing the details. Instead, I wanted to see if I can use the LLM subscription from work to run (close to) mainline on it, since that’s something genuinely new.

I know it's an unpopular opinion on the Fediverse, but I do think LLMs are inevitable, and the reality is that you can expect less organically grown code as time goes on.

RCS is defined by GSMA specifications, but the implementation used by most MNOs is from Google and it only works with Android and, more recently, IOS. But none of the FOSS projects or open mobile devices is able to use RCS messaging so far because of the way it is implemented.

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!!"</a></li> emersion: "So apparently Flathub applies stricter rules for new submissions than for existing apps.
