postmarketOS is a preconfigured version of [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] for mobile devices that offers a choice of several desktop environments including Plasma Mobile and Phosh.  

Rather than downloading a demo image, postmarketOS [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide recommends the use of their script], pmbootstrap, that can tailor build your SD card for you.

[http://images.postmarketos.org/pinephone/ Demo images can be found here.]

demo/147147 (for demo images only - when building an image with pmbootstrap you set your own user-id and password.

{{Hint|The Phosh lock screen requires your password, but only presents a numeric keyboard. So you should use only numbers in your password.}}

See [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone) postmarketOS dedicated PinePhone wiki page]

If you install Firefox browser (or are using a demo image that already has it installed) then [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Firefox these hints] in the pmOS wiki are recommended.

An unofficial Debian build for ARM64 running with the [https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Software_Reference/Environments/Phosh.html Phosh user interface] (developed by Purism, Phosh uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol) Wayland] instead of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg]). The base system is pure Debian, with only the GUI applications and a few others (ModemManager, Wifi chip firmware) being built from modified sources (as well as the kernel and u-boot, of course). Current version is Debian Bullseye.

mobian/1234

See [https://gitlab.com/a-wai/debos-pinephone/-/blob/master/README.md the project's README file] for most up to date status.

Check [https://gitlab.com/a-wai/debos-pinephone/-/issues bug tracker] for known issues. Questions? Ask on our [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9016 thread].

It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker.] As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask.

Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab.]

Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer and including a closed source UI.

Instructions:

# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code>

# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).

May 4th 2020: The SFOS image is now the latest 3.3.0.16 release.
