In an effort to promote the use of open and FOSS platforms rather than proprietary and locked down ones, as postmarketOS we created our own community on Lemmy!
Please join us in making it an awesome FOSS and federated alternative to our subreddit!

@zhou Input methods depend on the DE you're using. In the screenshot you're using Xfce which I wouldn't recommend on a phone. Most people try Plasma Mobile and Phosh, both of which come with their own input methods.
I'm sorry to say that I don't know if they support Chinese (Mandarin?) input, you'll have to try it for yourself.

@zhou Like you flashed TWRP in the first place. Do note that postmarketOS doesn't overwrite TWRP usually. If it did, something went terribly wrong

@murks Note that although the pmOS (note the capitalization) CE came with Phosh, we ship Plasma Mobile as well.

@linmob Huh, postmarketOS with Plasma Mobile _should_ work fine on the Librem 5 since we packaged Plasma 5.20.90. Could you join our Matrix channel and ask for Bhushan? He can probably help you out.

@sridhar Please let us know if you need help with anything!

Podcatcher #gpodder has a lot of potential on mobile, as shown by WIP patches from tpikonen. Thanks to @h3nn3s you can give it a try on #postmarketOS edge: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/gPodder

Pine64 made our name outdated, and we love it. Thank you @PINE64 for giving us this amazing opportunity to bring free software to the mobile space and provide a platform for all the different projects to work on together. Cheers, - premarketOS

@MaciejFicek You're asking a bot 😜

Note that we don't have plans for any new device, they are all contributed by users of those devices themselves. You can port the device yourself, have a look at https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device and join our Matrix, https://matrix.to/#/#porting:postmarketos.org!

@murks Ah sorry, I misunderstood. In that case it'll be a bit harder. I guess you can boot from JumpDrive, mount the system partition on your PC and edit the file manually, but then you need a SDcard again 😜
