GNOME Shell running out of the box on postmarketOS 23.06

Kudos to pabloyoyoista; GNOME and postmarketOS contributor / liaison :postmarketos: ↔ :gnome:

He's made the GNOME experience as upstream as possible. We've discussed further improvements.

BTW, he's been looking for help https://blogs.gnome.org/pabloyoyoista/2023/03/05/gs-and-pmos-a-bumpy-road/

Help Needed, pls boost! :BoostOK:

I bricked my oneplus 6t (codename fajita) recently and have not yet been able to recover it. My current last resort seems to be using the MSMDownload Tool - but I don't have access to a windows machine (just linux & macos)

Does anyone have a link to good instructions how to unbrick my op6t without needing to install windows on my laptop?

I can boot into fastboot, but nothing else.

(and maybe ) users, how big is your apk cache? You can check the size using $ du -sh /var/cache/apk. Preferably this would be done on an installation you've been using for a while.

Thanks to nt8r for getting this fixed, the SDM845 devices have such long kernel cmdline that it literally broke dmesg, we love bootloader...

Nur mit App bedeutet nicht nur, daß es nicht ohne geht, sondern auch dann nicht, wenn man zwar ein Handy hat, es aber ein "dumb phone" ist oder ein mit , z.B. by @mobian oder by @postmarketOS.

"Friss Android/iOS oder stirb!" ist das Motto von . Freie, alternative Betriebssysteme werden nicht mitgedacht.

Warum nicht z.B. eine Kundenkarte? Zu ?

i feel like i get fairly regular messages from folks who are using @postmarketOS on their SDM845 device. If this is something you care about, please consider joining the testing team by adding your name here. We desperately need more validation before shipping kernel and device upgrades. Testing is fairly straightforward and usually safe - although you should take backups if you care about your data.

thanks.

Running a with a now , former phone. It's kinda cool to "upcycle" what would otherwise be an outdated, useless device.

Also I am glad to anounce my first contributions to aports. German travelers using the german railway might enjoy using diebahn. It is already available on the testing aport so it is available to edge. Thanks to the developer of flare for this application!
