Howdy fellow genodians,
Dear PinePhone users,
piggybacking on Christian's announcement, I've slightly updated my recent Genodians article with information about the Sculpt 23.04 version:

..
As another nicety, I'd like to share that the new version in principle supports the 2 GiB model of the PinePhone. However, the larger presets (morph and jitsi) will most probably cause trouble on the 2 GiB variant.
Gave it a try (at last), installing and running 2023-04-26 from the depot. I had the genodians.org tutorial in front of me, and I might have figured out the root problem that causes downstream issues:
- when invoking Expand... Confirm... it does not work for 20 seconds at all, in fact it returns immediately. - and the file system size label still says "15 MB", instead of indicating that the FS has been expanded to the full SD-card size (15 GB) - hence even after clicking "Default" (which didn't work, had to click "Use" instead) and... - ...activating Wi-fi and getting an IP address, any network download still remains stuck at "expanding" or even "fetching". This probably all goes back to the FS not (?) being expanded I guess.
If I'm the only one affected that's no biggie, but posting in case others are experiending something similar.
