Exciting to see! Positively surprised Alpine is modular enough to make this feasible/maintainable.
Curious to see what the part about SystemD and musl at the end meant.Our current understanding having spoken to systemd developers is that we should be able to find a path that brings us much closer to upstream, if not entirely.
The only way the systemd developers will allow musl support upstream is if musl supports the glibc-isms that systemd uses.
They have been extremely clear that they will not carry patches for other libcs.
Next step is drivers that allow switching on/off components of the phone through systemd to save battery. Proper drivers are the only major missing piece for Linux phone OS right now.
When Linux phone comes with lasting battery and fast waydroid I’ll switch.
And firmware updates haha
Well that’s harder
What firmware do you mean?
The firmware of the device components, that needs to be signed by the manifacturer and often has critical bugs.
I see, but which components do you mean specifically?
Modem, wifi/bluetooth chip, many more possibly.
In case of the modem I know it doesn’t need to be signed. In fact, there exists an open source firmware for it.
Cool! Thanks for the info
Makes sense
