That’s the intent, at least:

Are you intending to ship a (close to) mainline kernel, or a Board Support Package (BSP)/vendor kernel and make it work with a libhybris/Halium approach?

We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.

(I haven’t really used them a lot in the heat yet) Last enclosure was ASA, but AFAIK, black ABS is OK too because black pigment absorbs most of the light/UV, preventing plastic from degrading as fast

For offline navigation on Linux, have you looked at osmin? It was pretty decent on a PinePhone.

How do you handle power-off? Does Raspberry Pi just shut down? My thoughts were to use Alpine or some RAM-based OS that would not corrupt SD card or the hard drive.

I have been messing around with building an in-car navigation from e-waste for a while now. Right now, I settled on an old smartphone with OsmAnd and wrote my own app to view the reverse camera.

Organic Maps / CoMaps is not some corporate platform, you “migrating” to them does not gain them anything. If you have a constructive suggestion, open an issue or contact them.

I have not heard of USB-C wearing out yet. What devices are those? Have to be new enough to have USB-C.

Thanks for pointing this out. The list is made by a scraper (and I haven’t updated it in a few months), so it probably missed some models depending on the model code.

Thanks for reposting, I subscribed to this community too.

postmarketOS is fully Linux (based on Alpine Linux) Choose this for more technical projects or if you want your phone to be like Raspberry Pi++.

LineageOS is a clean Android. Choose this for Android experience.

That would be great and I might add a scraper for xdaforums, but even XDA has a lot of dead links for old devices now.

The bottom button was on LineageOS 14-15 (Android 7-8 equivalent… So rather old now)

.NET applications using .NET Core or later are intended to be cross-platform, so technically, Linux can run .NET apps. (The use-case I know is running .NET sites on Linux servers)

GrapheneOS has it on the very left (as shown above), which requires scrolling, modern Samsung and IIRC older LineageOS has it on the bottom, always visible.

I just installed Miniflux on my server as well.

Advantages (in my opinion) are: Package is in Debian repos (safe and no compilation needed), software is a static binary (thus does not require docker and only needs postgreSQL), documentation is good.

This tool looks fantastic, thank you!

And Snikket for super-easy setup and management

Synapse has seemingly improved since 2020. A word of warning though: if you join large rooms from your server, Synapse will eventually grow the DB to a huge size due to a “lookup” table state_groups_state, and will require manual cleanup. See https://www.sequentialread.com/matrix-synapse-out-of-disk-space-state_groups_state/

When I ran prosody a few years ago, I did so without docker.

I did try snikket in docker though, and it looks like it is still actively maintained.

IIRC the Windows version of Midori was the only browser that was light enough to watch Netflix on my ~2005 laptop.

Reminds me of a “minimalist text editor” that my coworker showed me circa 2015. It was an Electron app that consumed more RAM to display a empty file than Firefox with 5 active tabs.

Samsung Galaxy S5 checks all of these. I prefer it with Lineage 14 (Android 7), but ran it with Android 8, and it can support up to Android 10 or 11 IIRC, although later versions are somewhat slow.

Samsung Galaxy J7 (2015) might also fit the criteria, even though it’s not a “flagship”.

If you’re looking for alternate OS list for smartphones and tablets, I compiled a list.
