While this a good development, I share your concern and we should not stop,or even slow, developing any fully free as in freedom OS. I tried PostmarketOS on an old Oneplus 6T recently and I estimate we have one or two more phone replacement cycles until I think it'll be ready for me to switch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] punkibas@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) I have a 6T and was thinking about getting postmarketos on it, what didn't work for you? Which "desktop" did you choose for it? there's like 5 options for that and I really have no idea what to do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] njordomir@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago I used KDE because that's what I use on desktop. I hear some of the others are further along. Flashing was easy. I could not set up my SMB shares in dolphin and if it wont talk to my NAS, it's not terribly useful to me. I will play around some more with it sooner or later. I believe I used Android- tools on Linux to send the partitions via fastboot commands. It was a 2 gen old phone for me (had the OP9 after it) so I wasn't worried about anything going wrong. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you get stuck and have a specific question. I will try to help. permalink fedilink source parent
