I’ve got a mediatek WiFi router that runs openwrt pretty well, lol thats all I can think of though.
https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/linksys_ea7500_v2
It is advertised as AC1900, but the internal hardware is capable of AC2600 speeds and is able to operate at full 4×4:4 speeds with OpenWRT.
Assuming you like the features systemd provides, wouldn’t the community just keeping a non-verified fork of systemd be easier than swapping it out entirely?
I’m not a ROM developer but I had a Motorola phone and I could see why maybe it would have been ignored for custom ROMs, it had a few non-standard features that were great when using the phone, but I think a pain to support, it had a little touchpad in the bottom center that you could swipe your thumb on to do ‘gestures’ in android like back, recent apps, home, etc. I really liked it but its another weird feature you have to keep working when you’re supporting the phone after the manufacturer stopped providing updates.
From my initial research for my own Samsung watch, I think you’ll probably be required to use the Samsung app to connect your watch as Samsung uses a non-standard bluetooth encryption which requires their specific app to connect correctly. I tried many times with gadgetbridge to no luck.
Holy cow, icecast is still around? I remember that being a thing during the time of Winamp. Man, now I feel old.
-edit–
Although, I might be remembering shoutcast, not sure. I never had fast internet so I never really used any of the streaming services like icecast or shoutcast.
gnome mobile is quite good. I like it better than what ubuntu touch uses, Lomiri.
With postmarketos you can run gnome desktop or gnome mobile.
Ubuntu Touch is basically daily drivable because all the hardware just works due to using the devices own android kernel. It runs well on a fairphone 5. But I I like the app ecosystem and interface better in postmarketOS.
postmarketOS with gnome mobile as the desktop environment is very android like. Just need the hardware to run it on. Fairphone 5 is getting close, just need audio, camera and voLTE support.
And waydroid to fill the gap of linux apps until the linux ecosystem catches up, is basically daily drivable.
The only need I have that can’t be fulfilled right now is Bluetooth passthrough to waydroid. I use an insulin pump that is Bluetooth and my android phone app needs direct connection to the bluetooth adapter. Apparently this isn’t possible yet with waydroid.
Based on that thread, I might just use syncthing from termux from now on. The handling of this situation really does not inspire confidence…
I haven’t really kept up with the raspberry pi space, but was talking to someone years ago who was trying to use a raspberry pi outdoors with solar to do regular intervals of water testing for a polluted stream. He seemed to imply that the lack of power efficiency and issues around that were at the chip level. I thought like the chip itself didn’t have an efficient idle or sleep state so it just burned through battery doing nothing, but still active with all cores engaged, etc.
Not sure if thats still the case all these years later with the new chips or not, but it could be part of the problem, not sure.

Unfortunately I like the interface of gnome-mobile better, and the app ecosystem of postmarketOS better with flatpak support, but Ubuntu Touch has better hardware support than postmarketOS due to using the android vendor kernel, vs mainline.
Been meaning to fully switch to Debian for a while, but I’ve been making due modifying my apt sources to have the apt version of Firefox from the ppa and pin it above the snap version, but I guess at some point I’ll have to bite the bullet and do a reinstall.
Kinda crazy this had been 10 year old Ubuntu installs that I’ve kept going year after year from OS upgrades to hardware upgrades. My server Ubuntu install has transitioned from a Q6600 Intel core 2 duo, to a i7-4770, and would have survived another hardware upgrade I’m going to plan but that’ll probable be when i do my reinstall.
My personal laptop install has gone through 3 different laptops that I’ve just moved over from 1 drive to the next with gparted, from a dell vostro 3550, to a Dell latitude e7450, to a dell latitude 7490, again looking at an upgrade for the laptop too, I’ll probably reinstall with Debian.
If anyone has any new-ish AMD based laptop recommendations that are upgradeable (non-soldered ram, etc) and that don’t break the bank, I’d appreciate it! Apparently dell doesn’t sell any AMD laptops other than 1 outdated model from before 2020 I think.

nevermind, I see you just posted the link, you’re not the dev. Leaving this question up to see if anyone has good suggestions for this type of backup.
Hey there, does this just handle files/data, or can it backup apps too? Been looking for a reliable way to backup apps and data for the few times I need to do a phone wipe, would be nice to restore everything like it was and not have to go through the whole install process again for all my apps.
I haven’t tried extensively, but each tool I’ve tried in the past had issues and didn’t really work for 100% of my apps and data, whether its Titanium backup, or the seedvault built into LineageOS, or Neo backup, etc. I haven’t really had great success doing this.
I realized I’ve built up stress over batteries, charging and lifespan that I’ve built up over time since the days of removable batteries going away. Its very refreshing to have a swappable battery back.
Been messing around with a Oneplus 6T and a fairphone 5, both running postmarketOS. I wrote a charge limiting bash script that runs in cron, checks the battery capacity file and if its greater than 80, it writes 0 to the power_supply/current_max file and it stops charging. If its equal to 79, it trickle charges to maintain battery, and if its less than 79, it charges like normal.
It works on the Oneplus 6T, but the fairphone 5 seems to have a whole battery manager driver integrated, so my little script doesn’t work. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to trigger the udev rules and get it working for the fairphone 5, and then I realized… Why? Its a removable battery that I can buy a replacement for. Why am I bothering to limit battery charging like i’m used to with android phones to preserve battery lifespan and baby them so I don’t have to rip the screen off and possibly break it just to replace an aging battery…
Like I said, very refreshing to not have to think like this, for a device.
I’m not a big online gamer, so I don’t really have to mess much with anti cheat stuff. But I wonder if any of the games you want to work will work in a windows VM with a GPU passthrough. You get basically native performance that way, but I think some anti-cheat stuff will still throw a fit even when trying to hide the fact that its running in a VM, so it’s not guaranteed to work for 100% of games.
Ahh I see, you were asking about the software side of the audio, not the kernel hardware driver support.
Apparently the same audio components work on other devices just not fairphone 5 yet, and they are still investigating why, per here:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)/Audio
Everything seems to work with Ubuntu Touch, though I’ll have to try VoLTE. But sound, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, camera’s, etc all seem to work.
I just got a fairphone 5 to use, waiting on full camera support, GPS, and audio, but apparently VoLTE is coming, so hoping to daily drive it soon.
I hadn’t heard of waypipe so I decided to give this a try, been meaning to reply to this after I got it working, but I didn’t have as much time to test as I thought. I installed waypipe on 2 of my existing ubuntu machines and tested running Mozilla PPA version of firefox (so, not the snap version), watching stuff from YouTube and my jellyfin server, and it wasn’t fully smooth, it was a little slow and choppy. I also didn’t have audio, just video. Maybe you can get it working if you tune it for either hardware acceleration or compression, but I haven’t had much time to test that.
My thoughts would be, if thats a path you wanna go down and you don’t have the machines set up yet, run a ubuntu Live install on both machines from usb sticks,
sudo apt-get install waypipe
On each machine, make sure sshd is running on the “server” ubuntu machine, and test it out and see if it works for your use cases.
From the client machine, I had just run
waypipe ssh user@server program-name
