Necro, but I search periodically to tell people not to beat their heads against the wall while community devs work on the "mobile Mycroft" problem, and stumbled on this thread. I think I should add two things for future browsers:
First, Mycroft will never run 100% locally on the PinePhone and don't even try =P The name brand assistants are in the cloud for a reason. The only successful mobile Mycroft "builds" have been thin clients, connected to an instance of Mycroft running elsewhere on your network.
And that's okay. Your memory and battery life will thank you. The important thing is that *you* control that instance of Mycroft, where it's hosted, and what it does.
Second, @vanja what you asked about 1.5 years ago XD is the thin client thing, and something community members are working on, if you haven't discovered it already. Head back to Mycroft places and ask Jarbas about HiveMind. That's what I'm using on my PinePhone (very early days) and it's intended to support a whole-home or whole-PAN mesh. One AI per person, connected to many devices, is the idea. Siri, eat your heart out.
