Following my request one and a half months ago: mstdn.social/@theDarky/1144151

By adding the following line to my #Mobian configuration:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list
deb deb.debian.org/debian experimental main

And by installing the experimental versions of the mesa Vulkan package:
sudo apt -t experimental install mesa-vulkan-drivers

Mastodon 🐘theDarky (@theDarky@mstdn.social)Hello Does anyone know how to install the proprieraty drivers for the #librem5 to replace the etnaviv driver ? I dont find any documentation about it #librem5 #linuxmobile #mobilelinux

One thing that bothered me since some time is that for switching between different 🎶 players required to🔓 the 📱 .

So e.g. pausing #gnome podcasts to listen to music via #gapless needed ever so many steps. I've thus added a lockscreen plugin to #phosh that tracks all currently running media players that use #mpris and allows to interact with them.

This is all pretty rough still but I can hopefully brush it up for 0.48 (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p).

We usually learn a lot about this on conferences but let's try it here as well:

If you're daily driving #phosh we're keen to here on which phone (or other device)? Which distro do you use and which phosh version are you currently running?

Another #Cellbroadcast bit coming to #phosh / #LinuxMobile. The results of the users choice are set in the modem via a small daemon based on information we're getting from mobile-broadband-provider-info. That way only the tiny UI bit is DE specific, the other bits can be reused on other platforms as is. @devrtz is working on adding persistent storage to keep a message history.

Thanks to @NGIZero for supporting this and @snwh for the UI design.

If someone were to invest development resources into the Open Source ecosystem right now, improvements to which area would benefit the user experience across all device form factors (desktop, laptop, mobile etc.) the most? You can name both individual applications, libraries and subsystems as well as broader topics like e.g. "messaging".

@triskelion @purism I appreciate what GrapheneOS and other projects are doing. I wish gOS good luck in:
- getting early access to future #AOSP sources as development is no longer public.
- fixing the myriad of #Google shenanigans with the OS and Chromium.
- getting mental health help for the main developer - he deserves all the help he can get.

Unlike gOS, #Linuxphone development is not riding on decades of Google funded development of the OS. Progress is therefore slower but it is improving gradually.

Besides #PureOS, there is also #Mobian and #postmarketOS - I especially look forward to the latter's future #ImmutableOS version which would have security benefits as well.
