"Mobian Trixie is the new stable version, available in two main variants: one with Phosh, GNOME's Phone shell, and one with KDE Plasma Mobile 6.3. There are versions for the PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, and PineTab, both sizes of Google's Pixel 3a, the OnePlus 6 and 6T, and Xiaomi Poco F1. All run the current kernel from Debian 13, version 6.12."
"Mobian is the official Debian derivative aimed at Arm-powered mobile devices. Indeed, the Mobian project home page sends people to the official Debian wiki pages to learn more about Mobian. The result is a Debian phone: a smartphone with a touch-centric UI and a suite of typical mobile phone apps, many similar to their desktop GNOME equivalents - but open the terminal emulator, and it's Debian, complete with the normal apt command."
"There's also a version for the Purism Librem 5 phone that uses the older kernel 6.6. And alongside these fully supported devices, there are versions for the Fairphone 4 and 5, PineTab2, and SHIFT6mq, but these come with significant hardware support limitations. (Additionally, there are x86-64 images of Mobian, which in principle let you test it out if you don't have a suitable phone - but we couldn't get any of them to start in three different hypervisors.)"
Mobian Trixie is a stable Mobian release based on Debian 13 'Trixie'. It is available in two main variants: Phosh (GNOME's Phone shell) and KDE Plasma Mobile 6.3. Supported hardware includes PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, PineTab, Google Pixel 3a (both sizes), OnePlus 6 and 6T, and Xiaomi Poco F1, all running Debian 13's kernel 6.12. A Purism Librem 5 image uses kernel 6.6. Additional images exist for Fairphone 4 and 5, PineTab2, and SHIFT6mq but they have significant hardware limitations. x86-64 images are provided for testing but failed to start in multiple hypervisors. Mobian provides a touch-centric smartphone environment while retaining full Debian apt access.
