The specifications do mention Android 14 and it does have an SoC capable of running Android. The only thing lacking is a display, which is implemented via VDI.

Plug OS is Android running on a separate device, not the device itself. You still need an app to access it through a virtual desktop.

Live USB is not really possible for mobile phones. As ARM devices generally do not adhere to BIOS/UEFI standards, running an OS requires more packaged firmware than what a regular x86 laptop/desktop requires.

In addition to the difficulty ARM brings to this equation, bootloaders are generally locked down on mobile devices. It may be impossible to unlock it depending on the device.

Can you run lsblk within the emergency shell? Sounds a bit like the HDD has taken theplacde of /dev/sdb, upon which there’s no second partition nor a root filesystem -> root device not found.

Fedora. There’s a video of him explaining why he uses Fedora instead of Debian.

Edit: Link to Fedora’s pages and a Youtube video on why Linus does not use Debian (or debian-based distros)

There is no direct way to forward calls with KDE Connect or any other app, but there might be a solution if you would mainly receive calls at home.

If you’re willing to learn and configure, you could setup a PBX server with a Pi or an old machine by installing Asterisk and setting up your phone as a trunk line for it via Bluetooth (I’ll find the instructions soon)

The idea of a “distro for EU public sector” is neat, but even the PoC has some flaws when considering technical sovereignty.

First of all, using Gitlab & Gitlab CI. Gitlab is an American company with most of its developers based in the US. Sure, you could host it by yourself but why would you do it considering Forgejo is lighter and mostly developed by developers based in the EU area?

The idea of basing it on Fedora is also somewhat confusing. Sure, it’s a good distro for derivatives, but it’s mostly developed by IBM developers. The tech sovereignty argument doesn’t hold well against Murphy’s law.

Ahh, baby steps.

Around fours years ago I was still using Arch and I somehow decided to try LFS on my main machine (bare metal unfortunately). Started compiling coreutils but as I forgot to specify the build directory to gmake, my /usr/bin directory was being emptied to make space for the coreutils compilation process. Bricked my whole installation.

Now I’m smarter than four years ago as I mainly use NixOS.

No love for Turris? They’ve basically just added an easier web management UI alongside lUCI and their devices are specifically designed to run OpenWRT. Also they’ve sent a fair amount of patches to upstream (search the OpenWRT git repos for authors with @nic.cz email addresses)

Affirmative, Codeberg is the “official” public Forgejo instance and the organization which contributes the most to Forgejo development.
