Very sad news

[zetabeta]

this announcement has one implication, i most likely won't buy another pinephone regular, so it is going to be pinephone pro. little bit sad spending money, pp regular is still usable for basic tasks.

my guess is that sunxi devices would be out after 2 years anyway, because of very slow cpu, i don't think pp regular can last very long.

What do you mean here? sunxi is the kernel used by mobian? I would go with arch, but the problem is that script to install it with FDE, it's broken...or at least I don't know a work around it.

i used sunxi term for allwinner a64 cpu which requires sunxi software. regardless, is it megi's kernel on sunxi kernel, i don't think support for a64 will ive very long, roughly speaking in all linux distros. btw, 2 years is my inaccurate prediction.

danct's arch linux might be way to go for some time. seems that someone reported this https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...issues/589 .

Obviously not good news. However from my own standpoint as long as the Pinephone continues to be able to make and receive calls I'll use it regardless even if it were to never receive another update. I do realize though that most phone owners expect more than that.

That means using a device with no security updates. Vulnerabilities in the kernel itself are found often enough.

reading between the lines, mobian 6.1 lts kernel will be supported for some time. lts releases usually get security updates.
