On my current plan MMS cost about 50ct US. I am in Germany, I use matrix, so Purism’s priorities align with mine here. Let’s also not forget that good Matrix support was promised in the Librem 5 campaign, where the phone was marketed as IP

I totally agree. Establishing a sustainable niche is enough.

You could start it, and I would be happy to tell people about it :-)

There are multiple programming languages that can be used, as evidenced by the wide variety of apps listed on https://LINMOBapps.frama.io Besides Python there’s C, C++, Java, Go, Rust and and ... anything that has toolkit bindin

It works reasonably well, as long as you don’t “over-split” your screen.

FVWM sounds interesting. Would you like to share details of your setup? If so, I would like to interview you for my blog https://linmob.net !

Is it publicly available? If so, may I list it on https://LINMOBapps.frama.io ?

For Smartphones, LuneOS carries on the legacy of webOS. I made a video about it running on the PinePhone a while back: https://linmob.net/videos/#LuneOS

Anbox is supported in various distributions, see e.g. https://odysee.com/@linmob:3/manjaro-daily-dev-builds-for-pi... . Video chat on the PinePhone is "early work in progress" at best, see https://m

If you want to play with some of the UIs and apps, check out the devices postmarketOS supports [0]. Especially Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) support is looking pretty good, and the devices are quite affordable used (low to middle double figures,

You definitely have a point, and it‘s a pity that (desktop) Firefox recently dropped its haphazard support for Progressive Web Apps making that alternative even more unlikely to happen. On the other hand, I would not call the App Selection

Like I wrote in my recent update [0], LTT did not even bother to get the specs right. There was another review [1] this week that did a much better job imho. [0] https://linmob.net/2021/03/21/linbits37-weekly-

Read carefully. USD 149 gets you 2GB RAM/16 GB eMMC, USD 199 3GB RAM/32 GB eMMC.

IMHO, it does not have to change the duopoly, as long as it creates sustainable options for those who want to escape that duopoly. In that way it‘s already a success.

Depends on the stack you are using. I maintain an App List [0] that lists existing apps, which might help with getting an idea of the dominant frameworks. That said, popular technologies like Flutter are also coming to Linux Phones. [0] ht

IIRC, it essentially boils down to: - closed source software running on the LTE modem, - proprietary firmware for the Realtek bluetooth/WiFi chip - optional firmware for camera autofocus.

Yes, it does. Although, caveat: Not every one of the distributions listed under [0] does. MMS is difficult though, it still has to be properly implemented in the GNOME-ish software stack that bases on ModemManager instead of Ofono. Regardin

Nope, the hardware has not changed since the Manjaro Community Edition, Rev 1.2b. This one has a different magnetometer, part nr AF8133L instead of LIS3MDL which was not available; I am not sure if that warrants calling this one v1.2c or no

Confirming these settings at first launch is something that mostly annoys users. Remember: Most users just install software via Flatpak because this way they don't have to compile it themselves, deal with a tarball or use an outdated r

Living somewhere where MMS is not used, I have not been following this to closely. There have been various scripts that apparently work well enough. At least for the Phosh/Gnome on Mobile side this issue [0] is the one to watch. [0] h

Don't forget Axolotl[0], an unofficial client for Ubuntu Touch that has been unofficially packaged up for Debian (and that package can in turn be installed with a PKGBUILD script on Arch and Manjaro). A working official client would be

If you want to, you can have that; just take postmarketOSs new stable release when it's out with your prefered mobile shell and put the bare minimum of apps you want/need on there and you'll be set. As for KaiOS, I doubt we&#

Pricing is tough to guesstimate right now with the component shortage. Given that hardware has not changed in a while, I don't see what should hold you back from getting it now, and the remaining hardware bugs are acceptible.[0] The ex

Another nice OS for the N900 is Maemo Leste ( https://leste.meamo.org ), which is basically the same software as ran originally, but modernized; sadly, when I last tried it, it still lacked a GUI for key features like calls and te

Yes, that’s my reason. Also, it’s rather easy to run your favorite Linux distribution on ChromeOS devices compared to Android hardware.

As a PinePhone and Librem 5 owner, I should be psyched by this, as a tablet running a Linux distribution that looks nice could really help the overall Linux on touchscreen devices ecosystem. I am not too excited though: 1. With their curren

Their stack is (currently) based on KDE Plasma, but they have not released source code (IIRC) for JingOS 0.6 and thus are violating the GPL already.
