CPUIDLE not working on PinePhone

@varikonniemi

i’m sad to report that my pinephone battery has reached EOL and i won’t be purchasing anew one before someone steps up and provides the support that manjaro promised but has later stepped away from.

@varikonniemi

This is extremely sad state of affairs that this Linux phone has been abandoned like this.

@varikonniemi

i just think it’s despicable you sell a phone and stop supporting it.

@varikonniemi

It’s just sad, that a Linux phone got obsoleted faster than current Android™ phones, when the whole point with Linux phones was that we are not dependent on android vendors.

@varikonniemi

Bait & switch, just like any android vendors historically.

@varikonniemi

Pinephone selling and support was just marketing ■■■■■■■■ when there was no intention to follow it through, opportunist ■■■■■

@varikonniemi

as you also admitted, manjaro got money from selling manjaro pinephones, and then thought it’s ok to drop support so soon.

@varikonniemi

But keeping up with package updates is certainly something you signed up for when you made a manjaro branded version.

@varikonniemi

it does not remove from the fact that Manjaro sold their version of this phone that was supposed to be a more sustainable version of a phone and not lose support like android. And then it lost support.

@varikonniemi

How can manjaro continue as a respectable brand after doing such a bait and switch?

@varikonniemi

Pinephone is not on the hook for this, they admitted they only provide hardware. Manjaro took on the software support side, and then failed worse than many android brands in the support length.

@varikonniemi

they got money from selling the phone. If it’s not enough to support it, they should never have done it.

I believe you have successfully stated your disappointment with PinePhone, ad nauseam. There will come a time when your continued negative attitude toward Manjaro might no longer be tolerated. Enough is enough.

Very well said. Numerous things in my life have also sucked, including some things directly related to Manjaro ARM, but I try not to keep looking back, and I continuously keep trying to make better what I can instead.

EDIT: I’m adding my “usual” update on my patches accepted upstream below, because posting consecutive replies is not allowed to people who just participate in threads started by other people.

I’m happy to report that one more of my Linux kernel patches has been accepted upstream, as listed below, while a few more Linux kernel patches are currently under review or on their way to the mailing lists:

• arm64: dts: rockchip: Remove overdrive-mode OPPs from RK3588J SoC dtsi

I’ll keep updating this post as more patches become accepted upstream.
