I've been working on this for a very long time, and I've constantly been adding new things I learn from time to time. I never really talked about it too much since I made it mostly for my own consumption but I think it might be useful for others as well.
It's a reference with tips and tricks on how I setup my #archlinux install as well as common problems one may encounter along the way. Feel free to let me know what you think, as well as contribute your own tips!

Our 6-yr-old Fairphone 2 is being upgraded to Android 10. That’s 7 years of software support! An industry first for an Android device! 🙌 Together with the open source community we built the operating system. Proving it is possible to put sustainability at the heart of tech. 🌿
going off the grid for a week, here's hoping sxmo 1.6 will be available on arch when I get back! (thanks Aren for working on that btw)

my first blog post is probably getting delayed until the release of sxmo 1.6 on danctnix arch arm. i'm going to re-flash a fresh install, my current setup is so bloated due to all the stuff i've tested lol

What is the best Linux mobile desktop environment? Boost for larger sample size.

Seems like I just got hit by the @PINE64 #PinePhonePro. As well as a keyboard case and a USB-C dock.

The seventy-first edition of my weekly collection of news about #LinuxPhones (@PINE64 #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro, @purism #Librem5 and such), #LinBits, is out!

Hello from Toot, the CLI mastodon client, on the #pinephone! I'm going for a command-line based approach, as I've found that text based interfaces are far less buggy that GUIs on the pinephone. I've been quiet while setting up my phone, but a blog post about my setup is coming soon-ish. I'm still working out a few things, but I've been daily driving Arch Arm with SXMO since the day I got it and I've been really happy so far. So here's to Pine64, DanctNIX, SXMO, LinMob, and so many others!

Centralised messenger Signal has just announced that they are making part of their server software closed source. They claim it is to fight spam, but by using closed source they make it impossible for outsiders to verify the truth. This is worrying.
We really, really need a fully open, decentralised alternative to Signal.
There are several alternatives being developed, please support them:
➡️ @snikket_im
➡️ @xmpp
➡️ @matrix
➡️ @delta
➡️ @briar
➡️ @Jami
well, it seems that yesterday was a false alarm, as I just got and email that my #pinephone is getting here today, as it didn't show up yesterday
my #pinephone has left the dhl facility and in on the way to me. it'll be in my hands in a matter of hours!

Finally writing that "PinePhone setup" post.
hamnix.gitlab.io is moving along nicely! it's all just testing and placeholders for now, but as soon as my pinephone gets here i'll post!
also i'm working on moving hamnix.gitlab.io/hamnix-blog to just hamnix.gitlab.io, I just don't yet know how to get just a GL group url to work :)

Halloween Tips from EFF:
-Wear something reflective for pedestrian safety.
-Don't eat unwrapped candy.
-Be mindful of what conversations you have within 40 feet of a Ring doorbell
just ditched #github for #gitlab, and now i'm setting up a CI pipeline to make a GitLab Pages website! I plan on blogging about the #pinephone (coming in the next few days, as dhl tracking says it's already in my city) from the perspective of someone very new to gnu/linux. I'll be posting all about #sxmo, (or maybe #swmo someday,) my experience learning shell scripting, and getting into all things suckless!
