The postmarketOS project, which develops a Linux distribution for mobile devices, has announced a name change to Nura. The name is chosen in honor of the ancient Nuraghe towers in Sardinia, symbolizing stability and durability, which aligns with the project's goal of prolonging the life of mobile devices. The logo has largely remained the same but has been refined for better readability. The domain has changed from postmarketos.org to nura.eco. <\/p>\n
The renaming is attributed to difficulties in promoting the project due to the long length of the old name and its complexity for some non-English-speaking users in terms of pronunciation and memorability. Confusion in capitalization (postmarketOS, PostMarketOS, or PostmarketOS) and the inability to register a trademark due to the descriptive nature of the old name are also cited. A trademark application for Nura has already been submitted by the project's developers. The new name was chosen after several rounds of voting from over 300 options proposed by the community, and it has been checked for negative connotations in different languages. <\/p>\n
The project develops a Linux distribution for mobile devices and smartphones, based on the Alpine Linux package base, Musl standard C library, and BusyBox utilities. The goal of the development is to provide a Linux distribution for smartphones and tablets that is independent of the support lifecycle of official firmware and not tied to standard solutions of major industry players. The primary user interfaces offered are KDE Plasma Mobile, Phosh, GNOME Mobile, and Sxmo, but there is the possibility of installing other environments, including MATE, COSMIC, and Xfce. Builds are generated for 65 devices (32 community and 33 testing), including the PINE64 PinePhone Pro, Purism Librem 5, OnePlus 6, Fairphone 5, Google Nexus 10, Google Pixel 3a, Nokia N900, Lenovo A60xx, ASUS MeMo Pad 7, as well as various Samsung Galaxy and Xiaomi models. Limited experimental support is provided for over 600 devices. \u041f\u0440\u043e\u0435\u043a\u0442 postmarketOS, \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0442\u0438\u0432 Linux \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043c\u043e\u0431\u0438\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0445 \u0443\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432, \u043e\u0431\u044a\u044f\u0432\u0438\u043b \u043e \u0441\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0435 \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 Nura. \u0418\u043c\u044f \u0432\u044b\u0431\u0440\u0430\u043d\u043e \u0432 \u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0434\u0440\u0435\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0431\u0430\u0448\u0435\u043d \u041d\u0443\u0440\u0430\u0433\u0438 \u0432 \u0421\u0430\u0440\u0434\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0438, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u0435 \u0441\u0438\u043c\u0432\u043e\u043b\u0438\u0437\u0438\u0440\u0443\u044e\u0442 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0431\u0438\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0438 \u0434\u043e\u043b\u0433\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0441\u043e\u043e\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0435\u0442 \u0446\u0435\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0430 — \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0438 \u043c\u043e\u0431\u0438\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u043c \u0443\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430\u043c. \u041b\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0442\u0438\u043f \u0432 \u0446\u0435\u043b\u043e\u043c \u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0441\u044f \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0436\u043d\u0438\u043c, \u043d\u043e \u0431\u044b\u043b \u0434\u043e\u043f\u043e\u043b\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e \u043e\u0442\u0442\u043e\u0447\u0435\u043d \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0443\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u0447\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0435\u043c\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438. \u0414\u043e\u043c\u0435\u043d \u0438\u0437\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0451\u043d \u0441 postmarketos.org \u043d\u0430 nura.eco.
