FluxOS will now connect to nodes deterministically, reducing message volume and boosting accuracy. Notes: https://github.com/RunOnFlux/flux/pull/1051

This release enforces proper applications port availability and so nodes with wrongly configured firewall are expected to fall of the network. This release will be enforced in 2 weeks time. For a full set of changes visit https://github.com/RunOnFlux/flux/releases/

https://home.runonflux.io/ login with your ZelID, go to Apps --> Global Apps --> My Apps. Click on the dropdown arrow and compare your registration key with the one on your Presearch dashboard. You might realize that you copied the API key instead of your node registration key (I made that mistake myself). If that's the case, you can change your key: Global Apps --> My Apps --> Manage --> Update Specifications. Replace your registration key on the "Environment" field.

FluxOs v3.10.0 is out. Release notes: https://github.com/RunOnFlux/flux/releases/tag/v3.10.0

If that's the bar, then mobile Linux is simultaneously very fucking far, and dramatically closer than most people might think.

As far as messaging apps, they're all technically there - the best kind of there for the crowd that this would interest. Spinning up a Matrix server means maybe a days work for this crowd, which allows (and I currently use it for) Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, and more. Even better, due to constant improvements by Matrix, the server is only getting lighter and your options more varied with things like Construct [0].

Email is there - one only really needs to ensure geary is set to scale to the phone screen. As far as gMail, I'd question what the overlap is between "Privacy conscious enough to use a Pinephone" and "Uses gMail instead of anything IMAP".

That only leaves navigation and social media. For the former, I've used the mobile site in-browser on my Android phone that the Google Maps app was too heavy for. And for both on the Pinephone, especially the pro, Waydroid [1] is getting closer to closing the gap.

To be honest, I could see it being mainstream for geeks within two years. Though that's unlikely what you meant by mainstream - which I think we can agree is several more years away, if ever.

On its project GH roadmap, why then does it say:

It does - the point is that anyone can spin up their own Matrix server (or pick an existing one) and get involved; they don't have to use the fosdem.org one.

Separately, in terms of implementations: Dendrite is usable these days, albeit beta: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/10/08/dendrite-is-entering-beta, and meanwhile Synapse is stable. Conduit (https://conduit.rs) is making progress on federation (and works for simple use cases), and Construct (https://github.com/matrix-construct/construct) exists too.
