Weekly Update (15/2022): Frameworks, Components and a place that tracks PinePhone Pro software status
Another calm week, where improvement happens by many tiny steps, done one at a time.
-
Weekly Update (14/2022): Maui Shell Alpha, Mobian goes Tow-Boot, Suspend on the Librem 5 and AVMultiPhone is back!
Another calm week, where I spent most of my free time on LinuxPhoneApps has gone by. Here's what happened:
-
Weekly Update (13/2022): SailfishOS 4.4, phoc 0.13.1, JumpDrive but implemented in Go and lots of PinePhone Pro videos!
Also, LinuxPhoneApps.org is finally live and lists over 360 apps!
-
Weekly Update (12/2022): GNOME 42, Phosh 0.17.0, Phoc 0.13.0, Mepo 0.4 and Capyloon on Linux Phones!
A new PinePhone Modem Firmware release, updates on Nemo Mobile and GNUnet Messenger progress, Calls on the Poco F1, and a bunch of gaming centric PinePhone videos! And do try Capyloon on your Mobian-running Librem 5 or PinePhone Pro!
-
Weekly Update (11/2022): A RISC-V handheld, Fedora on the PinePhone Pro, Precursor shipping and new releases of SailfishOS, libhandy and libadwaita
Eight days of news, and still not a lot that's super Linux on Mobile specific. At least there's been another Ubuntu Touch Q&A, another postmarketOS Service Pack, and it looks like that really need to find the time to have a look at Capyloon.

Weekly Update (10/2022): Squeekboard gets a new look, Nheko 0.9.2, Dirty Pipes and Tow-Boot being released for PinePhone and PinePhone Pro
There's some good news and some bad news. Dirty Pipe is not a fun vulnerability, and our GNU/Linux Phones have new enough kernels to be vulnerable. At least that new Spectre variant does not affect Cortex A53 phones - having in-order cores only is not always disadvantageous.

Weekly Update (9/2022): Crickets, Tumbleweeds, Cameras and the Backstory on Sxmo
Really, not much happened. But that does not mean that we don't have a nice collection of blog posts, podcasts and videos this weeks. Highlights include a post about the Librem 5 camera, which explains how it can be used and how it got to where it is, a nice guide for writing QML apps with Python, and a video tutorial that explains moving GPG private keys securely, so that you can use your key on your PinePhone.
