This resulted in me booting it from an SD card with the latest Plasma \/ Manjaro image. This process worked really well – but the phone runs really slow from my cheap SD card. A short download, unzip (took ages again, extracting 1.1GB to 6+GB on an already slow SD card takes patience) and some After this I did a quick system update and this time it worked like a charm – nice!<\/p>\n\n\n Recalling why I wanted a Linux phone (and not an Android) – I got nostalgic about the convergence story. Tangent – I’ve run the N900, N9 and the first Sailfish phone – all as daily drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me put it like this: the whole convergence story sort of works, but doesn’t work. I’m not sure if the screen is too big, the phone is too old, or something else, but the whole thing just turns unstable.

Like properly. Going to the city dump multiple times. That sort of cleaning. In the process I encountered my old PinePhone that somehow got lost in the lack of free time back when I bought it (KDE still got some money out of it, so the purchase still made sense). … Continue reading Revisiting the PinePhone<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,11,6,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-100-days-to-offload","category-kde","category-linux","category-pinephone"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1462"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1462\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1463,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1462\/revisions\/1463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}dd<\/code> action, and the phone boots a fresh install from the internal eMMC again.
