After all it's unlikely a need for users similar to how most Desktop users don't need #LTFS because even if they knew what #LTO #TapeDrive|s are they are even less likely to own one...

Okay, thx for correcting me.
Tho just because it is supported in the mainline #Linux #Kernel doesn't mean it's compiled into the one used for said #Android...
Cuz I've not seen any shipped vendor-ROM that does...
But then again I could be wrong here too...

You can thank the assholes that patented it for that.
Also unless you #root your android and build a custom #Kernel with #FUSE support you can't use ntfs-3g.

OS/1337 development:
Using the oldest still maintained #longterm #linux #Kernel did yield about 25% size reduction for it's binary...
The good news: I basically have a new size record with the same settings: 551kB for the Kernel and 402k for toybox - both targeting #i486 systems.
The bad news: I've got neither network nor USB support at all!
And I think Network support and having #dropbear as minimal #SSH client is kinda necessary for #OS1337 to work as a "#terminal" system at all.

@mattl @ernie @vwestlife The core problem is that drivers are pretty bulky and so far I only added a few NICs but that already blew stuff out of the water at ~ 1,6MB just for the #Kernel (bzImage)...

Measuring a programmer's efficiency or value with easy #metrics like #LinesOfCode (#IBM) or #Commits (#Huawei) doesn't work.
In fact the latter ones did that #LyingWithNumbers for #KPI so hard on the @linux / #Linux #Kernel that they were close to getting #banned from the #LKML and #git.
Instead they got called out that their "code cleanup" commits are not appreciated as code #readability is being a priority in #Linux!

(Just the clocks, pin control, and basic SOC drivers are added.) Hopefully this is enough to initialize the SOC so I can begin mainlining. :blobcatroll:

Not that I excuse any #Enshittification - espechally this kind where it has 0 merit or rationale...
It's not as if #Intel's #GPU can make YouTube load faster or run smoother - which is the excuse #Nvidia and #AMD pull on their #Bloatware #Drivers on Windows, which gladly don't exist in that capacity on Linux!

Shit like this should be banned by @EU_Commission and @bsi before @noybeu and others can sue #Intel...
Also this problem is #Windows - #exclusive and not possible on #Linux, and @torvalds or any other #Kernel #developer will be able to confirm...

4 followers · 104 posts · Server mstdn.socialI just wanted to get the word out about a cool new project @hexaheximal and I have been working on.
lowendlibre! 🎉🎉
It is a project focused on bringing the developing Mobile Linux ecosystem to devices under $100. The main distros we are going to focus on are #postmarketOS and #Mobian, but per-device support of other distros is also considered. If you are interested in supporting this project, we have a Matrix space at #lowendlibre:matrix.org.

KernelSU
KernelSU is a Kernel based root solution for Android devices. It features kernel-based su and root access management as well as a Module system based on overlayfs (similar to Magisk). KernelSU works whitelist-based: Only App that is granted root permission can access su, other apps cannot perceive su.
More Details: https://kernelsu.org/guide/what-is-kernelsu.html
