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 working on longer documents I would otherwise accident

+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 needed run natively on Wayland. These days my setup is less r

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, work is being done to add PinePhone support.

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 smooth on it. That said, if you want to start without the enti

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 that work well on Mobile

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-run distribution (Fedora) and applies it to mobile. I have yet

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 speed of 230km/h, is not actually slower than w

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 hopefully going to be fine and the software will work as well a

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 AFAIR too. Generally, judging an OS that has officially sup

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 impacted user experience. Why? There's no An

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) at a rapid speed, at scale. This will first show in bear

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 started way earlier (2009? 2010?). Some of these F-Droi

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 distributions contributors too rarely try out other distribu

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, as the OG PinePhone also supports the featu

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 now has their own foundation) and has been continued to

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 "bring Debian to mobile devices. Over time, the idea i

I think that's because Sebastian develops software for the Librem 5 and thus is likely not running a stock PureOS Byzantium. I managed to get similar results in my holidays in late August(on postmarketOS 25.06 with Millipixels 0.23.0 a

Mind sharing which two apps you went with? When installing just two apps, even if both are in the same (KDE or GNOME) realm, you can very easily end up with 8 flatpaks (including runtimes) or more. This is due to a variety runtimes and th
