Trixie on mobile: are we there yet?

Over the past few years, both Linux-first mobile devices and a growing number of mainline-supported Android smartphones have triggered the interest of many Linux developers and users.

The resulting ecosystem is growing rapidly, with the DebianOnMobile team ensuring mobile-friendly software made their way into Debian.

The Trixie release approaching, this talk will detail the state of mobile support in Bookworm, how things evolved since then and the remaining hurdles to get full support of those devices in Debian.
