Glad you're less clumsy than I am. :-) The accidental pasting definitely kept happening to me, likely due to my bad habit of highlighting sections while to focus on them.

As a trackpoint user, I am glad it's off by default. Because of scrolling on Thinkpad keyboards (using the middle click), I had to turn that feature of every time, especially while…

+1 - switched to Sway (and thus Wayland) in 2017 and it was okay then to only improve over time. At some point I switched xwayland off, as there were env vars to make everyhing I n…

As long as new humans are still being born, there's always going to be beginners - with a few years delay, once they enter school or a work place. ;-)

Pocketblue IIUC has a A/B model and uses apps from flathub - that does not out work well with a 16GB eMMC, even 32GB is cramped. That said, as mentioned in another thread here, wor…

> because a lot of essential features only work in phones which are extremely expensive with less specs compared to its peers and in normal phones I assume you are refering to the …

With not-quite current hardware as supported by Pocketblue, performance is not that much of an issue, despite the OnePlus 6 being introduced in 2018. GNOME Shell mobile is quite sm…

Nitpick regarding apps: https://flathub.org/en/apps/collection/mobile/1 is the better link IMHO, even if not all apps in it do actually perform great on mobile [0], and some apps t…

This is a really cool project, and IMHO the most important new-comer in the #MobileLinux distro space in a long time, as it takes a model proven on desktop, building upon a well-ru…

Just an aside, as a railway-nerd: > The new ICE's speed is actually lower than previous generations. While not the fastest ICE, the new ICE-L (assuming you refer to it) with a top …

The C2 is a different device than the new one linked above, which was way more affordable (~250 Euro) with a 4G Unisoc SoC.

Please note that user reviews are only out for the FLX1, not the FLX1s, which is about to start shipping soon. That said, as they went with the same SoC, hardware enablement is hop…

Initially, due to the PinePhone not using libhybris but a mainline kernel, the SailfishOS browser and mail app was not working at all. At least the browser was fixed; mail later on…

UniSoc maybe? It appears to be reverse-engineerable [0]. [0]: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Jolla_C2_(jolla-c2)

That's their US made patriot phone, the regular less than half of that. Also, please read up on the concept of economies of scale. If you go with postmarketOS (good!), and don't wa…

I am pretty sure that it's not going to be the Librem 5, despite Purism's efforts to get it RYF certified (which, thinking of the Redpine WiFi card) went so far that they seriously…

Climate crisis and WW2 do not compare. Many people died in WW2, but entire animal and plant species were not wiped out. We're killing what we eat (and what we eat is nurtured by) a…

Fair point! That said, Google Play is not really the thing to compare this too. F-Droid could be. Summing up the "Show all ..." counts, F-Droid clocks in at 6147 apps, and it start…

Honestly, given my experience from distro hopping, I am certain that collecting solutions across distributions and implementing them in one can go very far. It's almost as if distr…

Looking at commit histories, I'd say: The Furilabs people are literally former Droidian people.

> "USB-C 2.0" in the specs reveals that. DisplayPort Alt Mode requires at least USB 3.0, the PinePhone Pro would be a Linux phone supporting that. That's not quite accurate IMHO, a…

> close to zero Linux programs that are actually usable on a small touch display Beg to differ: https://linuxphoneapps.org/ (And no, that does not list all of them. Only all I got …

You're partially correct. Ubuntu Touch was discontinued by Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) in April 2017. However, Ubuntu Touch was picked up by the UBports project (that by …

I think seba_dos1 refers to PureOS [0] (for the Librem 5; PureOS is essentially a FSF-endorsed Debian) and Mobian [1]. Both use a close-to-mainline kernel, Mobian's goal is to "bri…

I maintain a project [1] that tries to collect and track them all, and ... at least for keeping track of how they all develop, there's not a few apps. ;-) [1]: https://linuxphoneap…
