And hopefully I can save a few devices from getting trashed. :)

Made huge amounts of progress since I posted this! Should really post a follow-up at some point. :D

Do you get fined if you are unlucky to have no harvest and cannot bring anything back?

Only if you have a different use-case or if you are a fundamentalist. Most software is not inherently bad, it just might not be what you want.

The generation before mine used to give people things like oranges. Not expensive tablets that landed in the trash at most two years later.

You can have christmas and presents without it becoming absurd.

I always tell people: “Give me nothing, please. And if you insist, then please give me something I can eat and which only temporarily needs space or just give me money and I buy something I need anyway.”

And then I might buy food or cleaning equipment, the sort of things you need to buy all the time anyway.

Could be both that and burn out and/or depression. Talk to a professional, not the internet, about this.

Not having systemd was always the only reason I did not seriously consider using it, now I will have to re-consider.

Oof, hopefully you have photos at least.

Now… I’d love to read a How To.

Not yet. You can link it to a phone or register with signal-cli and link it to that.

Did you try Flare yet?

Cool! Well, it’s just a merge conflict. I don’t knoe how to combine the patches. Should be pretty easy for someone that does not need to google for every line of C.

I can give you notes* later on what to do to get to the conflict, then maybe you can resolve it and push the result to some repo? :)

*Just 3 or 4 commands, I think, including the Debian gbp command

Depaving the way to a bright future, love it.

Phosh, Gnome Shell for Mobile is still in develoment and not packaged for Debian yet. As far as I know, it is only packaged in postmarketOS.

You could join the Mobian Matrix room or the PostmarketOS room I have mentioned in another post on this thread (or whatever the right term is… Comment on a post? Sub-post?). I did not know anything about porting two weeks ago, but asking dumb questions helps learning.

Exactly my thought, but isn’t that breadboarding then?

Those are impossible to hard brick in my experience, you would need to break both bootloaders and recoveries. See if this helps:

Also, Pixel 3 has different hardware, but is supported by pmOS and I’ve spotted some commits in Mobian, so there might be people working on it there.

Same, my Pinephone does that within an hour maybe xD

Not exactly. But while UBPorts has a good looking user interface, they don’t have many UBPorts apps yet. A regular distribution can often be more useful, but as always it depends on the use-case.
