To the awesome #N900 users of 2021: the pmOS port needs a new maintainer, reach out if interested.
Repeated tasks:
* update the kernel (build, verify, pmaports MR)
* test new releases
* fix bugs/make improvements
If we don't find a maintainer, we'll drop it from the next release. It's a hard decision for such a beloved device, but if it is barely used, we better focus our limited time/energy elsewhere. If dropped, it goes back to "testing" and can still be used in pmOS edge with pmbootstrap.
@postmarketOS I still have my N900 and it is still running the last update that Nokia gave us. I didn't even know there was something else we could put on it to make it useful again!!!
@Phaserune yes, in fact there are multiple distros. postmarketOS if you want i3wm, xfce, etc. use Maemo Leste (https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900) if you want an update to the original UI. And @danct12 might have an arch port
@postmarketOS @Phaserune I made the Arch port for fun, no plan to release it.
As mentioned, Maemo Leste and postmarketOS are the two best option IMO.
