OnePlus 6/6T Linux port now supports lag-free Android app integration thanks to WayDroid

My second #postmarketOS mainline port (Xiaomi Mi 5) is in. Still quite early due to limited SoC support, but most basic things should work. Enjoy 🎉

The Nvidia Tegra kernel tree is moving quite fast (e.g., we pushed some changes to Fujitsu M532 / Asus Transformers just in the last days), so even 1 GB models are getting relatively usable.

A nice chance to get that 9-year-old tablet out of its drawer once again, in case you own one.

Some Kobo e-readers can now run Linux, becoming inexpensive e-ink tablets

First experiments of using my now-Linux tablet as a second display for my workstation

My mainline #Linux porting on Xiaomi Mi5 (Snapdragon 820) is starting to get quite usable. Not complete or stable, but (some) GPU acceleration and most basic features are in.

Most parts of the kernel work are by @y_oudjana@twitter.com, mine is an overlay on top of that tree.

@NGIZero developer @jsparber is rewriting Fractal to support #GTK4 and end-to-end encryption

This take (https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11-defending-system-requirements/) is hilarious.

Instead of bringing the average mobile device lifespan to the same level as that of computers, we should "change PCs as often as we do with phones to support the business model of hardware manufacturers"?

A gentle reminder that Windows 11 is nothing more than a Windows 10 reskin: *real* minimum requirements are identical
