kcxt@claudius@darmstadt.social @opensourceit@friendica.world @thibaultamartin@mamot.fr @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems you're largely spot on that the "damage" is largely device specific support at least from a hardware enablement standpoint.
We have a very upstream-first community (it's something we take extremely seriously for the obvious reasons in this thread but also because it is just the right thing to do) and as a result upstream projects also increasingly consider mobile usecases, for example GNOME's libadwaita graphics toolkit treats mobile as a first-class citizen, and all GNOME core apps works great on a phone through convergence.
Despite this, we're still operating at a very small scale when it comes to working on things for our own sake and we are still a while away from being able to fully fund even core maintenance of the project.
That being said, 2025 has imo been a year of preparation for us, we have improved our governance with the aim of making it easier to grow the team and scale more horizontally, we also made a lot of progress towards automated testing which is gonna be huge!
With immutable pmOS also on the horizon I'm really excited for 2026 when it comes to reliability!

In the long term I think we'll grow to fill a niche and ideally be self-sustaining along with our community of contributors. We are always trying to bring users in and turn them into developers, return to when you could just tinker with your devices! Our next biggest hurdle is probably going to be figuring out how to collaborate with vendors and shipping pmOS out of the box.
There is also the growing inevitability of climate and economic collapse and an increasing necessity for longer lasting hardware, if there comes a time when Google/Android is no longer a viable option for the EU, I want postmarketOS to be there when that time comes
kcxtI'm proud to announce 6502.sh, because the world needs another 6502 emulator!
6502.sh is about 3k lines of busybox ash compatible shell script, it provides an emulated ACIA serial port and is capable of running BASIC
It has an integrated interactive debugger, with breakpoints, single stepping, and a myriad of other features
Check it out here: https://codeberg.org/calebccff/6502.sh
