It’s about https://keepandroidopen.org/ I had advertised F-Droid with most of the acrylic paintings. Unfortunately, this should no longer be possible from September 2026. What all this means is on this website.

If it really comes to that, I can no longer continue my acrylic project / art in the previous form. Artistically, I then have to switch from Android to Linux (Flathub App Logos), over the course of time I had painted 36 Flathub App logos so far.

But financially, I’d be throwing away 4k euros. Not the money. I don’t paint digital pictures, like with Gimp, Krita, etc. I paint every acrylic picture on canvas. Before I paint, I have to buy brushes, canvases and acrylic paints. Not to mention all the time it takes.

If it comes to that, I could imagine continuing ‘Mondstern Acrylic Icons’, which is still available on Android (but not for much longer), with Linux. However, I would then be starting from scratch. The whole situation frustrates me greatly.

If you don’t consider the financial aspect, something new emerges. That’s nice in itself. But when you think about everything, including the money, because everything costs something, I somehow get a stomach ache.

I don’t know what to do with the 1,200 acrylic paintings.

If Linux is the only option left, the following questions come to mind: How do you start a Linux project like this? Can you use Arcticons Linux or Papirus Icon theme as a basis?

Does anyone know anything about Flathub/Flatpak? Let’s see where and how the journey takes us.

Update March 12, 2026

Google no longer wants you to be able to install apps from the F-Droid Store or it should be made harder. I have a Samsung S21 5G from 2021. I can now only rarely install apps from F-Droid, whether update or new installation. It only works sometimes. I would have to buy a new phone now. Samsung also has some problems or this is related to Google.

That’s why it probably makes no sense to paint more acrylic paintings for my so beautiful F-Droid Iconpack at the moment (or even until August and even after August). If new versions should still come, then probably only because it does not display this and that acrylic painting. I’m frustrated.

If, for the reasons mentioned above, I am unable to continue with the Mondstern Acrylic Icons icon pack on F-Droid, a variant is planned for Linux (Flathub? Not Flathub?).

If I can find someone who can answer ‘YES’ to all of the following:

  • You use Linux
  • You are familiar with Flathub/Flatpak
  • You can also speak English
  • You can explain well
  • You know how to use Github

If we don’t put it on Flathub, but do it ‘manually’ like ‘Arcticons Linux’ (the Arcticons Android icon pack for Linux), https://codeberg.org/Arcticons/Arcticons-Linux , let’s work together on Codeberg.

‘Arcticons Linux’ is not my project. Mine is the Mondstern Acrylic Icons. Mondstern’s acrylic art as an icon pack. And I’d love to make something like that available for Linux (with you).
