@Dimension@fosstodon.org, you seem not to follow the development very closely. If you want to stay tuned I'd suggest you follow @linmob@fosstodon.org who assembles regularly a nice overview over what happens inside the mobile eco system.
The battery life became a lot better. I'm using a Librem5 since early 2022. I charge it during night and use it during day. In case I could be running out of power I keep a second battery around.
The development of #PureOS #Crimson got stuck somewhat lately, but it's already deployed on the #Librem11 and it already works somewhat on the Librem5.
If you look for hardware less open, secure and privacy respecting with improved battery runtime you should look at the #postmarketOS pages for a device.
The #Pinephone of my son regularly gets updates from postmarketOS.
Look at #LinuxPhoneApps https://linuxphoneapps.org/ to find native software. I lost track following all the latest additions.
Just to mention it:
Updated a Sony Z3c running #CarbonROM and upgraded a tablet running #LineageOS. Thanks for all the people who build these systems!
It took me about two hours to
- get the backup on the Sony working in twrp with a sdcard
- do full system backups
- update CarbonROM manually, because the reboot into recovery doesn't work
- getting a stable usb connection to the tablet by rotating ports, cables and orientations of the plugs
- install a newer version of recovery.img on the tablet
- needed to recap how this is done in Linux using heimdall
- install the newer LineageOS via
adb sideload
Looking back at the process I prefer much upgrading my #Librem5 and I need to get back to the idea of getting a #Librem11 to get rid of the dependency on the LineageOS tablet.
