If you're using an external dock with touchscreen: Due to the wlroots update we need to update the touch mappings to make touch on the external output still work. There will soon be a phosh-mobile-settings bugfix release to make this simple for known docks: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings/-/merge_requests/63

pmbootstrap 2.0.0 is here:
https://git.sr.ht/~postmarketos/pmbootstrap/refs/2.0.0
After bumping the minor version 53 (!) times in 1.x.y, we have some
breaking changes justifying a major version bump.
Highlights of this release are generating fstab and crypttab, support for the mtkclient flasher and better locale selection in "pmbootstrap init".
For users it should still feel the same overall. Enjoy this release, and thanks so much to everybody who contributed to it! ❤️

I guess I should use this text box to post self-promotion items.
I just sent a (long-awaited) update for Tow-Boot

The reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
@Blort Hey Blort, as much as I wanted to put the 6/6T into the article (It was, actually. I just removed it later) I decided to remove it as it didn't meet the requirements.
"As a consumer, you will expect all of the phones reported features to work, this includes the cameras, GPS, NFC, fingerprint sensor, and for the phone software to run smoothly."
I will edit the article once this is the case.
I just published a new article about Linux phones for consumers, check it out!

Daily driving the OnePlus 6 with Ubuntu Touch! Just upgraded to 20.04, i've found that the battery life is slightly better and im really liking the new transparency effects.
As for the daily driver stuff, I don't have any issues other than the fact that the fingerprint sensor is not functional.
Otherwise it's a pretty good experience.
@calebccff I don't really see why people want to see Gnome mobile. It's still in early development!
Phosh is way more feature complete and functional.

@jmlich tried nemo again today, it's a bit difference than I remember it. Still seems like it's very much in early development.
@jmlich ill give a try, and might write up an article for it. I havent tried it for ages! Looks really promising since I last saw it a year ago.
@jmlich will do!
