Introduction

Computer veteran with long experience in installation, management and troubleshooting. Quite new in the Linux ecosystem, but quickly catching up.

I also possess some front-end web-design skills and I worked on several small projects in the past.

I never bought or used an Apple product due to their philosophy of locking down the user outside its own property. Therefore, I would like to maintain my intelligence.

All technology should be modular, upgradeable, repairable, recyclable. I will not spend my money on anything not respecting these values, therefore:

  • my main phone is a Fairphone 6 (despite being oversized) and I am on my way to make it a daily driver with postmarketOS. Likely the immutable version.
  • my main computer is a Framework 13 mainboard installed in a Cooler Master case with all 4 expansion ports being USB Type-C and, is attached to the back of my monitor.

Installation script

My personal PostmarketOS installation script. This will install PostmarketOS on both slots. I like a clean install, so Android is purged as much as possible.

fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability flashing unlock
fastboot flash --slot=all boot *boot* flash userdata *root*
fastboot erase dtbo_a erase dtbo_b erase super reboot

Application list

This is an opinionated list of apps every device should have. The script is using flatpak as is distro and device agnostic, and is the gold standard in app distribution on Linux.
