BlackBerry Passport with BB10 is still, to this day, my favorite phone I have ever owned. Someone was able to root it, and I have successfully done so as well. Currently Ai slopping apps onto this device at incredible speed. Let's see how usable I can make this phone again. image

Love seeing old devices come back to life like this! awesome! You could consider making it into a napplet runtime.
Not even sure it can be done. I haven't gotten on the Omarchy wagon yet, but I’ve been seeing your posts. I might have to start tinkering with it. I was vibe‑coding apps onto this thing so hard this weekend. I’m amazed how well it runs, which also makes me think about what could have been if we had these AI tools ten years ago. Even Windows Mobile might still be around. Windows Mobile and BlackBerry 10 died because of no app support.

Haven't spoken to him in years. List contact. He designed all the phones for orange in uk and then moved to blackberry. Not even sure what he's doing these days. Used to be an ass going out with him cause if he saw you put an old phone on the table, he'd drop it in your beer and pull a new one out of his pocket and tell you to keep up with the technology. We learned quick but a few phones met a very untimely death. Am going back a long time though
Omarchy has come to FreeBSD. BlackberryOS is built on QNX. It should be doable, but if you need some references for how things have been adapted to a Unix system from Linux, take a look at the FreeBSD build.
