openSUSE on Fairphone
an idea by FridayKetchup
Updated over 3 years ago. 9 hacker ♥️. 2 followers. Has no hacker: grab it!

I am curious if we can run openSUSE or another SUSE OS (SLES/Micro) on a Fairphone. Status: To start at the beginning

Fairphone seamlessly fits into the SUSE Values. It is as environmental friendly and fair as reasonably possible. This project is supported by the GoGreen and OSCC networks within SUSE. Also Melissa di Donato has her eye on it. ;)

We would like to know if it is possible to get openSUSE or another SUSE running on Fairphone.

      First thing you would need to know is, which SoC is used on the phone. If there is a downstream kernel that could be packaged on OBS.

      I do have direct contact at Fairphone. If you want to know more technical details I can get it for you or bring you in contact with the right person.

    Advent of Code: The Diaries by amanzini

    Description

    It was the Night Before Compile Time ...

    Hackweek 25 (December 1-5) perfectly coincides with the first five days of Advent of Code 2025. This project will leverage this overlap to participate in the event in real-time.

    To add a layer of challenge and exploration (in the true spirit of Hackweek), the puzzles will be solved using a non-mainstream, modern language like D, Crystal, Gleam or Zig.

    The primary project intent is not just simply to solve the puzzles, but to exercise result sharing and documentation. I'd create a public-facing repository documenting the process. This involves treating each day's puzzle as a mini-project: solving it, then documenting the solution with detailed write-ups, analysis of the language's performance and ergonomics, and visualizations.
