Librem 5 Laptop Mode
"The Librem 5 can now change from factors easily. Connect it to a powered USB-C dock to enable desktop mode. Or connect it to a laptop dock to turn your phone into a fully working laptop."
@eliasr @purism The pureos archive has 0.5.1: https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/pool/main/p/phosh/ . Things go to `amber-phone-staging` first and then migrate after N days to be available on all phones when no critical bugs pop up. Very similar to what happens in #Debian with the unstable->testing migration. Pending migrations can be seen at https://master.pureos.net/migrations/excuses/amber-phone-staging-to-amber-phone/1
#phosh 0.5.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.5.1
This is mostly bugfixes over 0.5.1 plus translations updates but also enables docked mode for tablets thanks (thanks to Arnaud)
Getting #convergence on the #librem5 to work is all over the stack (#phosh, #phoc, #wlroots, #mesa, #linux kernel, ...). Every piece wants a bit of attention somewhat like https://twitter.com/i/status/1231344659634540550

A new release of #Dulwich is out; 0.20.8. https://pypi.org/project/dulwich/0.20.8/
#phosh 0.5.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.5.0
This adds more keybindings, "docked mode" (for usage with external screen/mouse/keyboard) and more fixes with multiple screens.
You need recent #phoc 0.4.4, #squeekboard 1.10.0 and #wlroots git master (or backported fixes) for this to work.
A Librem 5 Video Made on a Librem 5
"Ultimately the Librem 5 phone lets you take your regular workflow with you while also keeping you in contact with your friends and family."
@flamingkeys@fosstodon.org @purism @linmob an external touch pad/mouse will likely be simpler to use and it frees the #librem5 screen for other things too. But i want to carry less hardware around in the future so the #librem5 and a simple usb-c -> DP/HDMI adapter will be sufficient with this and #squeekboard (the on screen keyboard)
