DragonFly BSD has released version 6.4.2 recently. This update fixes a kernel panic bug, fixes VirtIO block device cylinder count reporting, fixes several FDISK issues, and more. DragonFLYBSD is based on FreeBSD. The code is licensed using the BSD license. DragonFlyBSD is focussed on scalability, performance, and modern multi-core/threading support. It uses the RC init system and the HAMMER file system.

I would stongly recommend using the binaryhost since it recudes the compile time on the PinePhonePro. The binaryhost is PinePhonePro Only since lets be real using a normal PinePhone with Gentoo is not really realistic. The Binaryhost is updating to Python 3.13.
The PinePhone Pro tangent in the "Sidenote: What about the Librem 5?" section in https://linmob.net/gtk-418-the-pinephone-and-megapixels/#sidenote-what-about-the-librem-5 had to be corrected after playing with Megapixels 2.0 alpha 1 on the #PinePhonePro

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
