Maru OS for Pocophone? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iF7yK7HAyVM
Any talented dev who would be interested in building Maru OS for our beloved pocophone?
It runs lineage OS and when you connect it to a screen it runs ubuntu or debian. With the Hardware of the pocophone it would be a beast.

The rom and kernel version is based on android marshamallow . Such outdated one wont encourage the developers to start the port

Wow this is awesome..... @Swapnil Soni

---

I would love to see Maru Os running on Poco.

---

Sounds interesting Would definitley try

---

I found out that poco doesn't support slimport. In that case if someone ports maru os to our phone, only way of connecting it to external display would be using chromecast.

Yes, that's sadly true. It's a pity that the pocophone does not have hdmi-out.

Some news about maru os. Starts at 8.30 min

Great Interview given by the main dev of maru os at the great podcast late night Linux. The interview starts at minute 24.
Late Night Linux: Late Night Linux – Episode 59 https://latenightlinux.com/late-night-linux-episode-59/ [00:24:15]
Still hoping that we find any talented dev who would be interested in porting for our beloved poco. Imagine you just connect your phone to google Chromecast and you have a fully fledged desktop PC up running.
@dianxxyyzz would that be a device you would be interested in helping to port?
@abhishek987 have you heard of maru OS?
Wish you all a great weekend

Yes lol , I will build for pico f1 as soon as I get it . I already thinked about it

---

If it's wireless and Chromecast only, that would limit the usability of the desktop part a lot. Chromecast isn't actually that popular where I live, and not easily buyable either

Sure a wired connetion seems always better in terms of lag but according to Pretam d'Souza (one of the Main dev) chromecast works fairly well. Another option might be miracast.

That's awesome. Looking forward. Thanks for you're efforts and pushing maru OS forward ans making it available for Mord devices.
For all who don't dianxxyyzz is the dev who build already maru OS for the HTC 10, Samsung s9 and I belive some other devices.
I believe that you'll be quite happy with the poco f1 . it's just such a great devices.

Yes , thanks I would really like to see Poco running full Linux distro , I already watched to get one and will build soon so keep in touch . Also it must work with displaylink if it DNT have internal displayport . So DNT worry about wired display it have to be good. We already have tested this and all works great in displaylink setup

---

I hope this project will materialize.
I`m willing to be a tester.

---

Maru OS won't be interested to most devs since its still using Oreo as base. Same case with Ubuntu touch too.

Did you get to start any ports?
Maru now supports wireless display so that should help immensely to kickstart development on pocophone. I'd be willing to do testing.
