PostmarketOS is an amazing project that I wish I had the time to contribute to.
I'd love to resurrect my old Nexus 7 (2012) tablet with something more lightweight than the current monstrosity that Android has become. Right now the main thing holding me back from doing that is the lack of LVM support. Either Plasma Mobile or even SwayWM (when it gets gesture support) would be great for a lightweight open device for browsing the web and reading papers.

It is basically working after the installation, but all the use cases that are not straight forward (such as re-installing postmarketOS, what happens to the LVM partitions then?) need to be sorted out before this can be integrated into the master branch. https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/60 https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/60
- messe 8y agoIt'll be a few weeks before I officially have time as I'm currently interning doing maths/physics research. I choose my own hours but I'm rather terrible at time management, so it's best if I avoid side projects at the moment. That being said, there's a fair chance that I'll give installing that proof of concept a shot next time I'm stuck on a problem/procrastinating.
