Arch Linux ARM - 2025/12/24

Included in this release

• Barebone (shell only)
• Phosh 0.51.0
• Sxmo 1.16.3
• Plasma (Desktop) 6.5.4

NOTE: During final testing, I have decided to leave out Plasma Mobile images as upstream decided to replace maliit-keyboard with plasma-keyboard. Getting that to work require backporting and further testing which doesn't met the 12/25 deadline. Sorry about that.

Notable changes since last release

• Upgrade mobile-config-firefox to v5.0.0
• Upgrade megapixels to v2.0.0
• Disable zswap when configuring zramswap
• Phosh
  • Upgrade feedbackd to v0.8.4
  • Upgrade phosh and it's friends to 0.51.0
• PineTab2
  • New BES2600 Bluetooth driver

Known issues

• Megapixels does not work due to GTK dropped support for GLES 2.0 support (#699) - workaround: use Flatpak (see https://blog.brixit.nl/megapixels-2-0-progress/)
• PineTab2: BES2600 Bluetooth might not work with some devices, more testing is required.

Special thanks

• Aaron Sonoran (@AaronSonoran) for testing 20251223 images

NOTE: The PinePhone Pro images requires Tow-Boot/U-Boot to be installed on SPI. If your PinePhone Pro shipped with Sailfish OS then you need to install U-Boot to SPI or put the OS on the SD card.

Barebone users should read this first.
