Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
Android on the desktop works very well on Wayland with Waydroid and it even supports Google Play store. https://waydro.id/
Great running apps not available on Linux with a touchscreen PC. It only seems to run Android apps compiled for x86, but it is very fast.
There are practical use cases, and it is very usable. I haven’t tried it on WSL2, but it seems like a practical approach without reliance on Microsoft.
> What's the best alternative?
Waydroid runs Android apps on Linux and some people claim have gotten it to work on WSL.

Sxmo: Linux tiling window manager for phones
There's a piece of software called Waydroid[1] that allows you to run Android applications on GNU/Linux platforms - including the PinePhone. Sxmo, despite its name, can run Wayland instead of X and therefore supports Waydroid.
Personally, I haven't managed to get Waydroid to work, a task hindered due to some massive initial downloads which are required to set it up. However, I haven't tried particular hard, and there are videos online by those more successful than me[2].

Run Firefox on ChromeOS
> I run Fedora Linux after removing ChromeOS
Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM.
> (the only thing I'm missing is running Android apps)
I would recommend using Waydroid[1]. It runs fairly well in my use case, and runs LineageOS on top of it with the full LineageOS GUI.

migration to wayland from x11? for waydroid
i am using KDE Neon (user edition) on two machines (thinkpad laptops with intel). On mentioned machines i would like to try and use waydroid: https://waydro.id/ Waydroid required wayland as display server (it will probably not work on x11).

Hi OP, could this be what you're describing?
You should open an issue on GitHub then.

Just about every Windows/Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack
coreboot just initializes the hardware, the logo is something that the payload displays: https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads
The most typically used payload is u-boot: https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/
u-boot supports specifying splash screens via "splashfile", but it seems only bmp and maybe some raw image format are supported: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/2f0282922b2c458eea7f85...
In other words, no support for png, which this exploit uses :). That doesn't mean that coreboot/u-boot aren't written in C though which is a language known for its vulnerabilities.

Welcome Debian riscv64
Probably a better example than WiFi would be the on-chip SDRAM controller. It's always somebody's IP and there's a blob in the boot firmware that's just binary register settings. Like so:

How does ARM support for Linux work? Why do they use custom kernels, OS instead of mainline and the typical distros?
Upstream u-boot also supports quite a lot of boards: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/master/arch/arm/dts

PinePhone Pro was announced last week. AMA.
The RK3399 LPDDR4 training code is open-source (albeit rather impenetrable to read) - implementations exist in coreboot, u-boot, and levinboot, so closed source firmware isn't required. I'm afraid I don't know answers to the other questions.

InkBox OS 1.5 (custom open-source OS for eReaders) is out!
And yes it does: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/v2013.07
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot is the current git, but I'm unsure if the history goes back to 2013.

aarch64 won't let you use the gpio pins
I installed ALARM using the AArch64 installation according to the installation instruction on the ALARM website since that was pretty much what Manjaro used. However, if I put the Fan Shim on the pi 4, ALARM stays in U-Boot and doesn't proceed to the startup sequence. (Honestly, it would be nice to figure out how to establish GRUB so I can have a startup screen that gives me a couple of options when all hell breaks loose (knock on wood)).
