docked day 1 (continued):
- Besides issues i expected due to using the development version of the distribution things worked well. I keep the primary display on the phone so all notifications go there and don't disturb me.
- Until imx8mq's DEC400 4k output landed in the kernel is a bit sluggish so adding that needs to become a priority
- @merge started updated the byzantium kernel so one thing less to care about, thanks!

docked day 1:
- librem5-base won't transition from PureOS to due to outdated python-apt. Fix that (source.puri.sm/pureos/core/pyt) so I get current configs and meta packges.
- Notice that lets the compositor pick the output for notifications so they might end up no the non-primary one. Fix that as well: source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-
- encrypt the sdcard for mail and other storage

Let's seen when I can run the whole day with the docked and don't have to turn the laptop on for any task:

This is no where near finished but here's some first bits of startup notifications in (i'm usually using on the but I needed something that takes longer to start up so i went for ):

0.8.0 is out 🚀 : source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

Changing output resolutions and scaling via GNOME Settings should now mostly work, system modal dialogs don't pop up on the lock screen anymore plus more fixes and i18n improvements. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

The state of the 's microphone hardware kill switch wasn't indicated so far but that is bound to change:

I always wanted a simple way to do measurements on the with a voltmeter or scope while still having most of the hardware like attached and being able to swap components quickly. Today i got an idea and it works fairly well. I can even flip the whole thing around fairly quickly to measure on the other side and put the whole thing away to free space on the desk:

As of todays -next (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k) you can run the without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 . This means distributions can enable it without trouble from 5.12 onwards. The itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.

Besides the scaling from yesterday now also handles single / join display mode via GNOME Settings (arranging outputs, also changing resolution, rotation). There's bugs to be fixed in and to make this fully reliable but if you're careful it's already pretty useful:

While we had enabled power saving for the vivante gpu on the since some time we couldn't power off the corresponding regulator (power supply) since the phone would hang then. Turns out we just didn't give it enough time to come back up. Fix is already merged into linux-next: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k

0.7.1 is out 🚀 : source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

Bug fixes for keyboard navigation, monitor unplug, and modal dialog background rendering (@dos) but also new features like keygrabbing support (to make e.g media keys work) by @devrtz and initial logind support.

@purism

0.7.0 is out 🚀 : source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

This features automatic media mounting, initial support for background XML, handling of per app `show-banners` notification setting and fixes for swipe window closing by @exalm@floss.social

Since posting a photo with your phone turned into a laptop is such a trend these days I don't want to miss out with my and a borrowed running :

... and here's the same from yesterday but on a .
For some reason chokes a little compared to the devkit. Patches are all out there now so everyone can build their own encrypted images.

-sdl changes are already merged upstream, thanks @craftyguy
