I wrote a short series about running Sailfish OS on the Xperia 10 III. I'm summarizing my experience using it as my primary device over the last few months. This is the first article, published today. (Sorry, the whole text is in Czech only.)

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (08/2026): Touch Your Wrist

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-08-2026/

#LinuxMobile #LinuxOnMobile #AsteroidOS #UbuntuTouch #SailfishOS #Mobian #postmarketOS #Mobian #FuriOS #Phosh

@Pavel Machek has rebased his #libcamera AutoFocus experimental branch above mainline v0.7.0 tag during @okias organized 6th #MobileLinux Hackday yesterday (thanks to #SUSE for hosting), and I have built it on my #oneplus6 #Qualcomm #sdm845 phone running my build of 6.19.0-rc4-next-20260106-sdm845-gdc7b19cffd9e kernel and #mobian. Then I have tested it with Pavel’s mcam and, probably the first time ever, with Gnome/Phosh snapshot application with a complete pipewire-libcamera stack. The simple SW AF prototype has been enabled by the addition of - Af: line into /usr/share/libcamera/ipa/simple/uncalibrated.yam. On the occasion, I had the chance to test the result to document an actual event: when the president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, spoke at the #Ukraine Support meeting in #Prague Old Town Square today. The autofocus algorithm is quite unstable, periodically seeking a sharp image while the view is blurred in between. Same for the uncalibrated colors. But that could/should be solved in the longer perspective, see FOSDEM talk1 and talk2. But in general, the day when we can run at least older devices under real user control is yet closer. It depends now on @EUCommission whether the future is like 1984 or not for new devices. If it insists on Chat Control, which requires eliminating user control over what software runs on the device and supports rhetoric of sideloading for user control and even own builds of application installing, then the governments and corporations controlled botnet would be abused by mighty ones to control society as a whole. Back to today’s photos and the demonstration of goodwill to help the attacked neighborhood country to survive the imperial war. The original 1080p resolution photo with far focus is there and the short distance shot to the paper there. Both were taken by an IMX519 camera connected to MIPI C-phy.

@fun @postmarketOS I am daily using #postmarketOS on a OnePlus 6 phone, writing this post with it, in fact. So many functions work perfectly or near perfectly: wifi, gps, bluetooth, listening/watching audio/video, web browsing,sms/mms...
Camera functioning has come a long way in recent months. In short, I use it for nearly everything I would use a phone for, except for...phone calling..., which is still flaky, but I feel confident that the amazing and generous geniuses working on this project will overcome these challenges.

I am not very technical, but I am able to help out in small ways by testing functions and apps and reporting issues, and contributing to the wiki and the chats with whatever knowledge I have gained.

It's so great that this alternative to the Android/Apple duopoly is coming to fruition!

Ok, so i didn't have much time the past year to work on BitRitter, but recently at least i got the initial code working for translations.
I will try to set it up in the next weeks, so we can use the Weblate instance from @Codeberg .

Another thing i was working on in the rare free time was editing entries and saving them to the vault. I got bitten by framework specific stuff, so that will not be solved soon.

I'm really enjoying daily driving #MobileLinux I'm finding so much joy in having my favorite applications in my pocket. I really like @phosh and Stevia (Phosh keyboard) is possibly the best mobile keyboard I've used.
