🎶You first extract GCC from the sources directory🎶

From the responses I've seen, it looks like this is the way to go. I have a couple old phones to choose from so I'll just jump in and give it a try!

Can confirm. Oranges do taste like oranges.

That sounds amazing. In my high school I was the only one who signed up for Latin so they put me in Spanish instead...

I have a pixel 6a - it looks like there's been some work done already and it seems to be supported, but lots of work to be done. Let's see what I can do with it!

Great, C it is for a starting point

Sounds good - I have a couple devices lying around so l'll try jumping in and see where it goes!

Thank you - OS dev is new to me. I don't have any real competency in any language yet, so I'll make that a priority. I'll use postmarketOS as my main point of reference, so I'll take a look through their docs as a starting point.

 

Originally posted on linux@lemmy.ml, reaching out here as well. According to my, albeit cursory, research, it looks like Postmarketos is the leader for linux-based mobile OSes.

I'd like to do what I can to help with the broadening of device support for Postmarketos to make Linux a more viable option for mobile devices. Where do I start? I don't have much of a dev background, but have used Linux for a couple decades and am willing to learn new skills. Is there a handbook somewhere I can read through to learn the "basics"? Where can I see the type of projects that are being worked on/get up to speed? Any help is appreciated!

Great - I'll head over there too.

 

Hi all! I'd like to get into development for linux-based OSes for mobile phones but don't know where to start. I mainly want to support the broadening of supported devices for something like Postmarketos. Where do I start? Are there any handbooks out there that can guide me in the right direction? What's the most promising project to start contributing to?

Brave New World is on the list too. When I was in high school it was mandatory reading...
