I have been testing several Linux flavours on my Google Nexus 5 for a while, and have condensed my general thoughts on it in this article, where I also tried to compare it with the more popular "true Linux" smartphones on the market.

Adventures of porting postmarketOS to the Librem 5

"I’ve been longing to drop the shackles of Android ever since I made the decision to stop using my Nokia N900. Nokia had given up on Linux phones, and it was clear that there would be no further security patches for my favorite smartphone of all time. "

I found a GTK #weechat relay client that runs ok on #postmarketOS with #Phosh after fixing some performance issues with it. My dream of using IRC (and matrix via weechat plugin.. grumble grumble..) how I want to on a mobile device running Linux is one step closer!

Definitely needs some libhandy love though, any good starting points for porting GTK apps to libhandy?
