Description
Mobian seeks to combine the traditional Debian distribution with the Phone Shell (phosh) project in a way that is compatible with various mobile devices, including the Pinephone. The ultimate goal is to reduce the unique aspects of Mobian by contributing customizations back to the original projects, a process known as "upstreaming." This operating system incorporates Phosh, developed by Purism, and leverages established modern Gnome technologies such as GTK, GSettings, and DBus, all functioning on a wlroots-based Wayland compositor called phoc. Mobian is designed not only for smartphones like the Pinephone but also for tablets such as the Pinetab and the Librem 5, ensuring that its functionality spans multiple devices. As part of this initiative, Mobian strives to strike a careful balance between maintaining necessary customized patches and packages that enhance performance while reducing its dependency on Mobian-specific modifications. This dual approach facilitates a smoother user experience while promoting the integrity of the upstream projects.
