Out of curiosity do any of the #mobilelinux devices support WGPU? I have tested both #FLX1 and #PPP and neither one seems to work even though WGPU supports GLES and they both support GLES 3 but seems like WGPU doesnt work on it even if glxgears does. I opened a ticket for FLX1 a while back but I marked it as potentially a halium based issue.

I want to see if any other device is working before i open a mobile linux ticket

Back to #Wayland and input methods.

What's your favorite input method?

Cause for me it was the one on old #Nokia phones. I could type with my hands in my pockets! Handy in winter.

Tested with #cosmic and #GTK .

This is just the beginning. Actually useful stuff is coming in the future. #Mobile keyboards, #Chinese input is what it's for:

The Librem 5 (and mobile GNU/Linux in general) has matured a lot over the years, but there are still some areas where the software stack is behind the hardware capabilities. Some of them are often talked about, such as camera quality or GPU (GLES3/Vulkan/OpenCL), but there are also lesser known ones in need of some plumbing and middleware infrastructure. Maybe you'll find something interesting to hack on there?

@agx I really want to see linux mobile succeed. But we cannot compare them to linux servers because they're made by engineers for engineers / businesses.

A direct comparison would be linux desktop - but worse - because the firmware tends to be proprietary and bootloaders are locked on mobile.

Companies like Google have perceived the threat of linux mobile. They decided to allow you to run linux apps on android. Then a common user will have no incentive to choose linux over android because Google's android will have both play store and linux apps.

#google #android #linuxmobile #linux #foss

The arguments brought forward by people saying #LinuxMobile can't be a thing sound about the same as why Linux on servers couldn't become a success back then.

"Only for enthusiasts/hobbyists", "Look at the security/usability/[whatever]", "Google is the thing" (formerly Microsoft or proprietary Unix).

This (as back then) fails to see already present upsides of the project and the enthusiasm of people willing to make it a success (independent from corporate money and product life cycles).

I've just released the notes I've been taking for months about here on

lemmy.worldMy take on the "State of Mobile Linux" - Lemmy.World# Why this post ? I’ve been using a Linux phone for fun for a few months now, and this is all the annoyance that prevent me from being daily-drivable (And some other small thing that I found here and there) I am using a Redmi Note 9S, I’ve been mainly on GNOME Mobile because I love GNOME tech, and I am building apps for GNOME too (Which are mobile friendly 🥳) I also tried Phosh and other DE but I always come back to GNOME. I am using PostmarketOS. There are some striked things, which are the things that got fixed when GNOME 48 was released on PMOS! I might edit this post in the future to say what have been fixed (or do another one, we’ll see) # State of Mobile Linux and missing apps: - no good Bitwarden client - GoldWarden just crash and seems abandonned - eventhe web app is not responsive… - Finamp could work well but have no arm build - No discord app: - we have Dissent, which is decent, but login in is aweful and no voice chat support (we can’t even see the online status) - no jellyfin player app: - Delfin is decent but seems.abandonned… 😟 - GS Connect works, but needs a tweak and UI is not good on small screen - No lemmy apps - waydroid don’t have internet by default, we need to run a command everytime we launch it to add a route. - No good Youtube client (newpipe is bad for the moment and Pipeline just doesn’t work OOB - no tutanota app (no arm build) # State of GNOME Shell - Saving dialog in.text editor.is [http://editor.is] not good - Somewhat laggy compared to Phosh (Not anymore since GNOME 48 🎉 ) - OSK is bad, it needs to be replaceable easily - we could have multiple keyboard installed and switch between them - No recent emoji view 😭️ - Since GNOME 48 it doesn’t even adapt to the locale now… (I have AZERTY set in the setting but the keyboard is now qwerty) - Quick setting should be smaller, android style round icon instead, to fit more on small screen (same goes for Phosh) - We need a OLED theme for GNOME shell mobile - Accent color doesn’t work in the quick settings (Gnome mobile shell use gome 46 as of 21 feb 2025) (Fixed since GNOME 48! 🎉 ) - we need a way to bring up the OSK like on Phosh (holding the botto bar for a sec for example, maybe itcould be customizable too?) - no app icon in the overview of running app, and sometime its hard to know what app is running, especially when havng multiple instance of the same app - would be cool to be able to uninstall app from the app grid (phosh got this in 0.45 iirc) - The power menu when holding the power button just open the quick sretting menu, we need somethng like phosh with a real menu to reboot/turn off the phone - Some apps don’t close correctly and just crash, i will add them here when.I encounter them: - GNOME Solitaire, after clicking on the topbar menus (Fixed in GNOME 48?) - auto rotate doesn’t work (but it does on Phosh) - No pattern unlock # State of Phosh - what is wrong with the emoji keyboard?? it’s bad - gestures are bad, they need to take the same.gesture as gnome shell mobile!! - We NEED to press the unlock button after typing our code (would be neat to have the code automatically unlock the phone when we enter the same amount of characters as our passcode) - Haven’t used it intensively, especially because of the bad gesture # State of apps - GNOME Mines needs to be ported to libadwaita and better support smallscreen - timers in gnome clock are bad (it’s just one beep and if the sound is off, it doesn’t alert me) - alarms doesn’t turn off when clicking or swiping the notification… we need to unlock the phone… and the buttons to turn off are way too small… - gnome calculator bring up the keyboard, which is weird, and it goes on top of the actual app keyboard (Doesn’t go on top anymore, but still shows up…) - gnome software have bad UI when clicking on the size of an app to get the details # The obvious but we know this already - Camera support is rudimental, needs works, and I can’t wait.for it to become better! - No fingerprint sensors support # Device specific : Redmi Note 9S - camera support (same as above) - charging indicator doesn’t work and battery reporting is hit or miss (go up and down) - No fingerprint sensors support - top speaker don’t work - no vibrations # Questions if you have question about x or y app or any feature that you’d want feel free to tell me in the comments ! :) or even If I missed things feel free to correct me! p.s. This list has been made on the linux phone and I’m sorry for the bad english or misspelling of words!
