What is the bottleneck holding Fairphone back from supporting Linux fully?

That too! I covered that in another of my recent posts on the Europe community on here

That is a big thing Europe can at least make happen and in Asian/African/Latin countries too.

I like your addition though that is all facts!! Let's keep pushing countries to make that happen.

To make them undo what Google is trying to do currently and what Apple does for long time to have all those devices be fully changeable for the OS

Needs to become a movement everywhere!!! Just as StooKillingGames, and the KeepAndroidOpen movements

We need a catchy name for it

Sure would be the toppiest of tops!

We can encourage them to work together in their official communication channels too!

Would be good for both of them on every level. GrapheneOS learning to make their own phones, and Fairphone learning to make an OS while both being partnered

Edit: Be the change you want to see everybody!! Flood the gates with what we want!

Let's push for it to happen!! Collectively we make it happen! Also, for more companies to jump on board. Imagine Samsung jumping on board to make a Linux phone!

Everyone keep helping more people switch to Linux and help them be part of in-person/online groups. To discuss Linux, and get help where needed.

That's why Servo and Ladybird need to be vastly built up

Imagine this is what encourages people to ramp up public transit construction nationwide. Along with the Strait of Hormuz blockade.

Looking forward to all the good that will come from people refusing this stuff

Open source hardware needs to be built up more. To do that we need more new people active in that to get different things done. Including vehicles

What do you recommend I learn as a roadmap for Game Dev, and in Open Source field? by viov in c/opensourcegames@lemmy.ml

DLC comments!! Awesome! We have peaked at this moment /s haha

Is it for decent amount of newer mods for various games are written in Lua, or just for Luanti mods?

Luanti is fun but had no idea it was using a different language altogether.

Will do Ace!

Sidenote: The image is Tux in style of Sonic world.

Found here: https://openclipart.org/detail/17265/tux-the-penguin-in-sonic-style

Make of that what you will, just brought this as peace offering to the Open Source/Linux community to hear me out and because I thought it was interesting /s :p

Edit: This can double as a suggestions post for other people new to contributing to Open Source/GNU Linux/Game Deving

My Goals:

Want to socialize and get to know other Open Source/Game Dev/Software Engineer/DevOps/Linux people. Even if I know people just online. I'm a newbie to it all. Are there online groups for any of that in say Discord servers, forums, or elsewhere?
Want to help work on existing Open Source Games. These are some I have in mind to help where I can:

Unciv: To make Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, and Fallout mods for this game.
SuperTux (Some mods of new worlds, enemies, storylines, and adding mascots from Open Source community that have not been added yet)
OpenMW (To build it out with the team. Same for new land mods to add lands outside of Tamriel: Akavir, Thras, Yokuda, etc)
OpenFNV/OpenOblivion/OpenFO3 (A person is working on them since OpenMW is able to pull data from those games so very possible just lots of work to be done)
GTA Project Eagle (To help Dev it, and then help to bring it to phones in a team once it is in a completed state)
Beyond All Reason (Love RTS games and well I don't know how yet but would love to make something for it)
Xonotic (Maps and shooting sounds: pew pew pew)

To make some original IP smaller mobile games that are actually fun to play on side to hopefully fund my ability to spend more time game deving overtime. To learn more with practice building smaller games from start to finish solo, and maybe with others potentially. Android/Linux Mobile/Linux PC as the focuses for those smaller games, and the bigger games in future
To build out some open source teams, that can continue even when I leave the teams, to build new open source small-sized games, and later medium/large-sized game projects. Have lots in mind:

Tux Party Revamp game, TuxWorld (3D-Platformer with Multiplayer), Old School Final Fantasy-esque, Tux Call of Duty Zombies-like, etc

To build out Open Source/Linux communities however I can:

Growing the UI/UX, Art, Animation, GIF, Social Media portions of the community for building up outreach of Open Source/Linux around the world. Those are some avenues to expand reach to get more funding, users, and new devs.

Helping to build up new/existing platforms to help encourage collaboration on projects, and highlight needed funding so they can be improved upon. To help projects that need more of either funding, volunteers, or both to get them.

So with that in mind what do you all recommend I do to start off? Please and thanks for any suggestions! Want to start small and properly get myself going on here.
