GrapheneOS statement on Mastodon: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114661914197695338

Calyx made an official statement on this development here: https://calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/android-16-plans/

Concerning stuff. Hopefully a workaround or solution is found at some point, but if not, I'm already thinking of how to manage without them.

I can't see myself going back to a standard Android phone, so I suppose worse case scenario, I'd have to settle with LineageOS, or potentially abandon Android altogether and see if I can manage with discrete separate devices to fulfill the same needs, such as:

  • a pocketable mini-Linux PC like a MNT Pocket Reform, which has the ability to use cellular networks. Should be able to text, browse web, and maybe GPS? Alternatively, perhaps the Mecha Comet?
  • Small pocket-able dumb camera
  • MP3 player
  • Dumb-phone kept in a faraday bag when not in use?

We Have Been Promised a New Linux Smartphone Which is Not Based on Android

Based in Madrid, Liberux is gaining attention with its Linux smartphones that run on LiberuxOS — a mostly open source operating system built from scratch, completely independent of Android and iOS. Their NEXX line of smartphones distinguishes itself as a Linux phone capable of running standard Linux distributions right out of the box.

Realizing that most people aren’t looking to spend a fortune on niche tech, Liberux recently announced that it was working on a more affordable version to make the NEXX accessible to a broader audience.

As far as I'm concerned, it's exciting to see organizations working to bring Linux phones into the mainstream.

Liberux NEXX: What Does it Offer?

Let’s start with the original model, which is impressive for what it is. It looks like a legit attempt at creating a daily-driver Linux phone that doesn’t feel like a development kit.

The Liberux NEXX features an octa-core Rockchip RK3588S processor (4×Cortex-A76 + 4×Cortex-A55, up to 2.4 GHz), 32 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and a 6.34″ 2400×1080 OLED display.

It includes 512 GB of eMMC storage, which is expandable via microSD (up to 2 TB). Connectivity options include dual USB-C ports, 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Those are solid specs, and the price (~$1,485) shows it. 😲

Enter, The Budget-Friendly Alternative

We Have Been Promised a New Linux Smartphone Which is Not Based on Android

The Liberux NEXX Community edition serves as a more affordable alternative to the original model while retaining many of its core features.

It includes the same 6.34-inch OLED display, Rockchip RK3588S processor, 32MP rear and 13MP front cameras, dual USB-C ports, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a 5,300 mAh battery, and microSD support up to 2 TB. Both versions run LiberuxOS, a Debian-based Linux operating system.

While the flagship model comes with 32 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, and 5G, the new Community version offers 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, and 4G LTE connectivity. There’s also a mid-range option with 16 GB RAM.

🛒 Getting the Liberux NEXX Community

As with any crowdfunding campaign, delays or changes are expected. Currently available on Indiegogo, the Community model with 8 GB of RAM is priced at approximately $900, excluding shipping costs.

Additional tiers such as First Backer and Golden Backer are also available, offering various perks. Shipments are expected to begin globally in July 2026, though availability may vary by country.

Also shout out to @Stamets@lemmy.world for achieving the milestone of 1.2k replies!

Maypull is not worth talking to. They're defending the cruel multi-billion dollar animal agriculture system no matter the cost to the animals, the environment and the workers.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

Yet you belittle the animals at every chance you get, someone wouldn't go through all the trouble of doing that if they didn't care about their image reflecting poorly to their peers. You do everything you can to hold yourself and humanity back rather than admit you're wrong and owe up to your mistakes. Such a poor character without substance. Drop the gaslighting and animal products now!

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Stop abusing animals and do better. Eating animals is wrong, unhealthy and horrible for the environment. Stop making excuses for your nonsense.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Just like it's amoral to kill ethically a dog and a cat.

Oh yes let’s ignore the fact that fish intentionally avoid being eaten in the ocean. I smell concern trolling, intentionally making false claims as if they were “the absolute truth.”
