pabloyoyoista<p>After talking to a few <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a> community members, I'm now setup weekly office hours 🎉 <a href="https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Office_hours" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Off</span><span class="invisible">ice_hours</span></a> Come show up if you want to talk about feelings or non-technical aspects of the project!</p>
ellySomeone just saw me debugging the touchscreen driver on the train and got so curious that she decided to ask what I'm doing... is this the hidden <a class="hashtag" href="https://donotsta.re/tag/postmarketos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#postmarketos</a> agenda? :blobcat3c:
🏳️‍🌈🎃🇧🇷Luana🇧🇷🎃🏳️‍🌈<p>Is there a way of grabbing that supported features wiki sheet of postmarketOS devices in some structured way (json or something)?</p><p>I kinda want to make an automatic ranking of best devices, since rn you just have to open devices on the testing page (many of which have better support than community) one by one.</p><p><a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a></p>
Adam Honse<p>Kinda want to try this setup on an actual Steam Deck next. SteamOS is nice but I haven't tried running alternative OSes on my Deck besides a very early <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a> build. I'd prefer to go with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> in this case though because of how well gaming is already covered by Arch (AUR, gamescope-session-steam-git, mesa-tkg-git, Steam itself, etc).</p><p>SteamOS being immutable is nice for its intended purpose, but it kinda sucks for a general purpose PC especially for low level development purposes.</p>

Alex<p>It's pretty crazy, but you can successfully run Gemini CLI on Nokia <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/N900" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>N900</span></a> running <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/postmarketos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketos</span></a>. Sure, you'd better run it on top of bash, otherwise Gemini is getting very confused with results, but it's working and it can actually do things!</p>
