xiaomi-davinci & xiaomi-surya now use u-boot and are merged into a generic qcom-sm7150 port:> […] U-Boot comes with an EFI implementation that lets us boot the Linux kernel with systemd-boot and have U-Boot pick the correct devicetree blob instead of appending it to the kernel.> This means that as long as a device is supported by the SM7150 Linux kernel fork and U-Boot, it can boot postmarketOS with no changes needed in postmarketOS!Well done @adrianyyy! 🎉 https://postmarketos.org/edge/2025/03/09/sm7150-generic-migration/

To users of the postmarketOS Matrix and IRC channels:Looks like Matrix is shutting down the IRC bridge to OFTC that we are currently using soon. We are considering whether to selfhost / possibly use an alternative public bridge instance / maaaybe it is not worth keeping a bridge around at all (meaning that we would move to matrix only) :blobthinkingeyes: Is it important to you that we keep a Matrix <> IRC bridge around?#postmarketos

Update regarding the Matrix / OFTC IRC bridge for postmarketOS channels (+ related like Sxmo): We will keep a bridge around. We have set up a selfhosted bridge and are waiting on OFTC to increase our connection limit before we can start using it, which will probably happen any day now.

As our community grows, we are increasing the focus we put on planning and organizing the work we do. Therefore we have been thinking hard about priorities for this year.Read all about it on our blog:https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/03/30/pmOS-year-priorities/

🗨 As the Matrix.org bridge to the OFTC IRC network will likely stop working soon, we are now self-hosting our own bridge for postmarketOS related channels. The chats should continue to work the same as before, but let us know if you run into unexpected issues.If you are a well known community member who runs one or more channels related to postmarketOS (e.g. for mainlining a specific SoC) and would like to use our bridge too, then let us know!https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/03/31/matrix-bridge-migration/

In our previous blog post 2025 Priorities: Reliability, Audio, Cameras and More, we asked "is there anything that you find terribly important that we have missed here?". And indeed, there was one thing that people would have liked us to focus more on, which is a better keyboard experience.This was unbelievably great timing, because we are actually integrating a new keyboard with great new features!https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/04/01/in-search-for-a-better-keyboard/

Heads up: "On certain devices (Adreno-based GPUs, e.g. OnePlus 6) Flatpaks apps using GTK4 might fail to start with a currently unknown reason.As a temporary workaround, you can start flatpak apps with GSK_RENDERER=ngl as environment variable."pmaports issue:https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/3655edge blog post (same text):https://postmarketos.org/edge/2025/04/13/gtk4-flatpak-apps-fail-to-start/

Heads up on recent mesa upgrades in postmarketOS edge:* Due to changes in the drivers for the Mali GPUs in Mediatek SoCs like MT8183, the recent update to Mesa 25 causes graphical display issues on Mediatek SoCs. A workaround is in preparation: https://postmarketos.org/edge/2025/05/05/Graphical-issue-with-Mesa-25-on-Mediatek-SoCs/* The qcom/adreno bug that caused GTK4 apps to fail to start with the new GTK4 rendering backend has been fixed in the latest patch release! Related workaround will be removed once it is in flatpak: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/6472
