the device list is here, I think most of them in the community list are pretty well supported.
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Main
the device i use is in the testing section, but it works to an extent.
if you have old android phones around you should check if they’re at all supported by pmos
if this is a sata drive “SATA link power management” might work?
ik tomshardware reviews of SSDs have information on power consumption
are you planning to daily drive Linux mobile?
maybe he’s worried about people implementing a premature protocol?
postmarketos apparently runs well on the pixel 3a, I don’t think the others are that well supported (or supported at all)
one thing to consider is that some cheap SSDs don’t have power management, so they’ll consume way more power than others at idle.
For a server setup that’s always running you should consider if the slightly lower cost is worth the cost of electricity
is this issues with encode/decode? it was finicky to set up on my nvidia setup as well, and getting Firefox to work with it was another nightmare
organic maps ftw!
nah, it’s better for information integrity to reply in the language you understand imo, comments translated using translator services are very obvious anyway and some people are multilingual
I think Ubuntu has a lot of influence in industry
I think the biggest thing about itunes is that it can be used to write music to iphones and do OS restores, I couldn’t get the usb functionality to work with wine so I just use it in a vm personally
the deGPLification of the Linux ecosystem ffs
there should be a keepass+syncthing package available for normal people to use, i put keepass and syncthing on all my devices and that means I don’t have to host a server while always having my password vault synced
make it as easy for yourself to reinstall as possible
yeah because half of them are 1234
ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn’t have a thinklight
thinkpad wins
i just run normal stuff like immich and a dns server and use it as a headless server, though I do have a backup terminal on the touchscreen in case I need it (fbkeyboard).
I don’t think it has any real benefits except the touchscreen, very low power consumption and the built-in battery, I just use it because it’s free and interesting.
I guess compared to other devices like the rpi it has pretty good performance and resources, though one big drawback is that I have to use wifi for networking.
It’s just the use I found for my old phone that was sitting in the cupboard doing nothing.
i use my old postmarketos phone as a server for a bunch of stuff on my local network because it can run docker and is really power efficient
i mean it is called “post market os”, and yeah hardware driver support isn’t that good unless you get a community supported device. my one doesn’t have camera, cellular, gps, etc.
Luckily my phone is pretty well supported out of the testing section though, so it has wifi and (partially broken) 3d acceleration
Mine is a budget phone so the performance is not optimal, but it’s still fun to play around with.
I don’t think the phones being old matter that much though, I haven’t had too much performance issues (except my browser that doesn’t have 3d acceleration working)
