  Boot partitions have been increased to 512MiB by default in pre-built images, and will be created so by the upcoming pmbootstrap 3.11 version. "For quite a while now, 256MiB has served us very well, but we've been starting to see issues with larger kernel packages like linux-postmarketos-stable or linux-next, which occupy around 150MiB on /boot on aarch64 systems due to the large number of device tree blobs shipped with the kernels." Thanks to @aelin@donotsta.re for making the ch...

  New edge blog post: UIs can soon explicitly declare support for service managers "By limiting the configurations a UI can be installed into to what the maintainer actually supports, postmarketOS can provide more consistent quality and make debugging any issues that do arise easier." Thanks to @justsoup@mstdn.social, @fossdd@chaos.social, @aelin@donotsta.re, @newbyte@mastodon.nu and @ollieparanoid@fosstodon.org for implementing this! https://postmarketos.org/edge/2026/07/10/explicit...

  We are excited to announce that bluebunny is now a trusted contributor in postmarketOS! He is a maintainer of the xiaomi-pipa and samsung-exynos7 devices and has been helping to get patches merged faster in pmaports by reviewing them 🥳 📜 TC page: https://postmarketos.org/team/#bluebunny

  "pmbootstrap will now perform strict builds of packages by default, which was previously opt-in behavior enabled either by invoking it with the --strict flag or by setting pmb:strict in the APKBUILD for a package. The change for this was merged to pmbootstrap's main branch today and will be shipping in the next minor release, probably 3.11.0." Thanks to @aelin for implementing this and writing the devel blog post! https://postmarketos.org/devel/2026/06/01/pmbootstrap-...

  🧪 The test phase for postmarketOS v26.06 starts next week (moved back by one week as preparing the repo and images need some more time). If you want to, you too can take part in the testing effort by simply adding yourself to the testing team wiki page and joining the testing chat! https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Testing_Team https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Matrix_and_IRC #postmarketos #linuxmobile

  We are able to follow up last year's success of financing important audio improvements in postmarketOS and the wider Linux Mobile ecosystem with another project this year, this time tackling q6voice(d).

  Heads up for edge users: We've switched to Plymouth for displaying the boot splash! This allows screen rotation to work, and to toggle between splash and boot logs by pressing ESC on devices with a keyboard, or the power button 🔌 on phones and tablets.

  🎙️ This year we did the 3rd post-FOSDEM hackathon in a row. We figured it was about time to sit in front of a mic and share our impressions of one of those! Thanks to all the amazing people who made this hackathon possible, we were not only very productive but in a great mood as well! 😄 Special thanks for editing this episode to @tgm ✂️ https://cast.postmarketos.org/episode/48-Hackathon-2026/ #postmarketos

  Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding: One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions. As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it: https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/06/17/volte-project-qmi-sniffing-with-fr...

  After the next stable release of postmarketOS (v26.06) we have decided that unmaintained devices (those where the device package doesn't have a maintainer= line in their APKBUILD) will be archived, this means the packages will no longer be built and included in our binary repository. If you want to make sure an unmaintained device continues to be supported, you can take over maintainership yourself so that we can reach you if there's a problem rebuilding the device or kernel pac...

  🎙️ Whoever placed a bunch of big tables and benches at the ULB parkinglot rocks, having those allowed us to record a podcast featuring fifteen (!) people sharing their experiences on FOSDEM Sunday.

  New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made. :blobcatthink: > Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos. It also means developers can reproduce the exact state of a...

  New finance blog post is up, nerding out over the 2025 budget (plan vs. execution), and the budget for 2026. The most exciting part is probably the q6voice rework and mainlining which will improve audio significantly for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile distributions on a large number of QC devices. A huge thanks to everybody who is supporting postmarketOS financially to make this possible! 😍 https://postmarketos.org/blog/2026/03/11/pmOS-budget-and-financial-update/ #postmarketos #linuxm...

  The mobile-config-firefox documentation has been split up into multiple pages (from mostly a single README.md file), was updated, and is now available at https://docs.postmarketos.org/mobile-config-firefox/ for comfortable reading. For example… with Firefox on your Linux Mobile phone! 😉 The ✏️ icon will get you directly to the markdown file in the git repository.

  The all-new "devel" blog is now live! https://postmarketos.org/devel/ As postmarketOS developer, it can be hard to keep up with changes in workflows and tooling, and understanding why these changes were made. @newbyte had the idea to create a blog specifically for such developer-relevant changes and wrote the first blog post for it, about the basically unused pmbootstrap subcommands "lint" and "aportupgrade" being removed. Thanks for that a...
