Comment on Pocketblue – Fedora Atomic for mobile devices

Comments

I'm surprised anyone would launch a mobile GNU/Linux distro without support for the Pinephone.

Pocketblue IIUC has a A/B model and uses apps from flathub - that does not out work well with a 16GB eMMC, even 32GB is cramped.

That said, as mentioned in another thread here, work is being done to add PinePhone support.

To be fair while the Pinephone is quite common, it's SOC is so bad you only get opengl ES2.0 I would not blame anyone for ignoring it early on. You'd have to make sure the graphics stack works on it in particular.
