Background Story:
Finger pinching became considered vulgar in South Korea starting around 2021 due to a conspiracy theory that linked the gesture to the feminist group Megalia. Proponents of this theory claimed the gesture was an expression of misandry, intended to mock the supposedly small size of Korean men's penises.

This led several companies and individuals to issue formal apologies after the gesture was found in their materials or work, and it became a point of contention in the ongoing gender war in South Korea.

This is likely the first Amazon Alexa device running Linux with a mainline kernel and postmarketOS.

All credit goes to Ben, who did the heavy lifting by porting everything to MT8163. I just helped by testing and providing UART logs.

Overall, the kernel is surprisingly solid, and a lot of hardware is already working , including Wi-Fi.

Interestingly, the device uses a Broadcom USB Wi-Fi adapter that's soldered internally, instead of the more typical MediaTek combo chips.

The GPU is also functional, thanks to Panfrost. We're currently using simpledrm for display, as we haven't managed to get the DSI interface working properly yet.

You can follow the full progress on the PMOS wiki page we recently created:
