Fedora Linux 38 will start building builds based on the custom Phosh shell

At a meeting of the FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), which is responsible for the technical part of the development of the Fedora Linux distribution, a proposal was approved to start forming 38 assemblies for mobile devices in Fedora Linux that come with the Phosh shell. The Posh shell is based on GNOME technologies and the GTK library, uses the Phoc composite server running on top of Wayland, as well as its own squeekboard on-screen keyboard. The environment was originally developed by Purism as an analogue of GNOME Shell for the Librem 5 smartphone, but then became part of the unofficial GNOME projects and is now also used in postmarketOS, Mobian and some firmware for Pine64 devices.

Builds will be generated for the x86_64 and aarch64 architectures by the Fedora Mobility team, which has so far limited itself to maintaining the 'phosh-desktop' package set for Fedora. It is assumed that the availability of ready-made installation assemblies for mobile devices will expand the scope of the distribution, attract new users to the project and provide a turnkey solution with a completely open interface for smartphones that can be used on any device supported in the standard Linux kernel.
