Spent the morning getting caught up on all things #LinuxPhone as I thought I'd heard exciting things were on the way. They aren't. Everything is still awful and it doesn't look like it's getting any better in 2026 :-(

"Software" comes pre-installed. It lets you install native Linux apps.

This is where you would look first for any app, or app type, that you want or need.

I visited the FuriLabs booth at FOSDEM 2026.

...

I showed them my FuriLabs FLX1s phone 🙂

...

I actually caused an issue with my FLX1s. @fakeshell on the @furilabs team fixed it!

Thank you @fakeshell !!

Awesome!

Loops may be available for and usable on the FLX1s Linux phone soon.

(The FLX1s is a non-Android (Linux) phone that can run some Android apps.)

If you really want to try a #LinuxPhone this is probably the best you are going to get at present... but the ecosystem isn't there yet...

NexPhone is a phone you can use as a desktop PC with Android, Linux, and Windows 11 support Smartphones are basically tiny computers small enough to fit in your pocket. But most ship with Android, iOS, or other operating systems designed for devices with small touchscreen displays rather than full-fledged desktop environments. But there have been multiple efforts over the years to create smartphones (and smartphone operating systems) that you could use as a desktop PC. None have been wildly successful, but the makers of the…

This still reads like #StrongSell #Palantir and #Oracle, sell #nVidia since it is also now going to be banned by every country that bans Palantir (eventually everyone).

#Apple and #Google still have end users but #Huawei & #LinuxPhone will take em over sooner or later.

It seems to take a while for the FLX1s Linux phone to notice it has been plugged into a charging cable.

I tried getting FreeTube working on the FLX1s Linux phone, but couldn't. At least, not so far.

It installs, but — it doesn't open.

I was able to install the Tusky Mastodon Android client, using F-Droid, on the FLX1s Linux phone.

The FLX1s is NOT an Android phone, but can run some Android apps.

In fact, this post was using Tusky on the FLX1s Linux phone.

I turned on my new FLX1s Linux phone.

My FLX1s (FLX1 slim) Linux Phone arrived 🙂

I pre-ordered it almost 1 year ago — on February 17th, 2025.

Divine D. open source smartphone inches closer to launch, gains microSD Express, micro HDMI, and LoRa support Earlier this year a Tunisian group called DawnDrums SARL revealed their initial plans to build a Linux-friendly smartphone called the Divine D. with a 5.5 inch AMOLED display, a Rockchip RK3588S processor, and an open source design. Now the team says it's updated the mainboard with a Rev 1.1 design that brings a number of significant changes, including a bunch of features you're unlikely to find on any other smartphone.

Next to @murena as daily driver, I am running @ubports on a Fairphone 5. It's not 100% there yet, but surely promessing!

Hopefully more people will get involved into linux on the smartphone!
