It did not get far in market share, sure, but it never stopped going like Big Screen did and made the transition to 6 at the same time as Plasma Desktop. Here are some recent developments: 1. https://plasma-mobile.org/2025&#

Yet, there are a select few non-gui flatpaks. One I use frequently is Zola [0], a static site generator that I use because it's significantly faster in building my site with 'zola serve' than the native Alpine Linux package.

Yes. (For "social reasons": If you have any feedback channel on your static site, people won't stop breaking your balls until you add https.)

To me, looking at Ibis as a piece of software, it seems way more attractive as an alternative to wikia/fandom, niche wikis about a topic. It seems to be selfhostable without massive resources and more modern, than, e.g., MediaWiki. (A

Not true for the Poco F1 (although AFAIK you still need to build your own kernel on postmarketOS to enjoy this): https://fosstodon.org/@joelselvaraj/112621744555315631 Shift6mq is supposedly close, with OnePlus6(T) its

The FLX1 hardware does not support this, sadly (as very many phones do).

While my experience with PinePhone has been significantly better (sounds like you may have had a faulty unit), we have working close-to-mainline ports for a few Qualcomm-powered phones (e.g., Xiaomi Poco F1, OnePlus 6(t), Google Pixel 3a, .

I am quite happy with mine. I installed LineageOS (GSI image without Google stuff) on my Rabbit R1 - the goal is to have a less addictive mobile device that can do offline maps with GPS and otherwise be a modern iPod (listening to podcasts

I mean, on Windows with the official Teams, I see "Person is visibly talking, but there's no audio (and did not mute themselves accidentally)" multiple times a week. So, yeah, going from that baseline, that's surely &quo

postmarketOS provides tooling, documentation and a helpful community ... at some point, you'll need to put in the work, or sell your used devices and buy other, better supported used devices to work around this. Is it really unfortunat

This is unsurprising - of course it runs AOSP, what else would you run on a MediaTek MT6765? Windows CE? Defintely not mainline Linux, thanks to PowerVR graphics[1] - the demo looked to smooth for 'no GPU driver'. Ever since I saw

Which release? Ubuntu has had a bad habit of not setting the proper environment variables for Firefox in the past - for X (not setting MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1) and wayland (MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1), massively degrading the user experience in Firefox

So, that's 22.04 with Plasma 5.24? Yes, I also had bad experiences when I using Plasma 5.24 and earlier with kwin's Wayland session (so much so that I used kwinft for a bit, as this was not a Wayland, but a kwin problem - wlroots

It depends. Old Outlook keeps failing me, in ways the new, dumb web app has not (yet): - Not sending e-mail unless I am restarting it (I added Outbox to Favorites to catch this before hours have gone by) - Crashing when I try to add an atta

My OnePlus 6 running Kupfer (Arch Linux ARM) [0] and my Shift6mq running Mobian [1] (Debian blend) in dual boot from microSDXC card [2] would like to have a word. Droidian (Halium-based Debian) also supports the enchilada.[3] And then, ther

On which Desktop Environment/wayland compositor? I am pretty sure Firefox Picture in picture works as intented (tiny window, stays on top of things) on GNOME's wayland session, and on Plasma 5.27.x I was able to make it work with

My solve for this is proper Emacs on a mobile monstrosity (a PinePhone Pro with the keyboard accessory). See [0] for more on that. [0]: https://linmob.net/using-the-pinephone-pro-daily-despite-hav...

At least for the Kirigami apps [1] that are hosted on invent.kde.org (and not just personal projects), a lot of porting has to KF6 has happened. [1]: https://linuxphoneapps.org/frameworks/kirigami/

I think it's that software is not all bad. ;-)

The eMMC issue sounds like really bad luck - mine is still fine after more than three years (although I have moved on to other mobile Linux devices a year ago, since they are faster).

I was going to add an caveat about that, but it turns out, that for the iMac 5,1 (the model discussed in the article) RAM upgrades are easy [1] (SSD not so much, but it should still be better than some of its aluminum successors [2]). That

If one wants to put these old machines to good use, it's worth remembering (after checking that they still work), that these older machines (the iMac and the MacBook) are still user-upgradable. The iMac should allow for 4GB of RAM (of

I have a similar 5.7" 32 GB eMMC device that runs a debian-ish distro with Phosh GUI, where I have been installing flatpaks left and right (without caring which runtimes they use) for a reason ([0]) since early 2022. I am now at 107 to

Doubt it. As a German, I am pretty sure most government PCs run Windows, a few cities and certain state ministries have dabbled with Linux, but that's just a small fraction. As far as I understand, GNOME being funded is all about doing

Sorry to ask, but are you sure about the exact specs? I wasn't aware of a 16" MacBook Pro M1(Pro|Max) with 8GB of RAM and Wikipedia [0] seems to confirm this. 0: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Pro_(Ap
