@PINE64 It appears that many people do not realize that this practically the first generation of modern linux phones. It's ridiculous to expect perfection at this stage.

Steam has refused to issue me a refund for Rocket League, after the developers announced they'd be dropping Linux support.

A recent article on a big tech news site included this phrase:

"[...] Linux phones like the PinePhone, [...]are full of closed-source firmware from non-open components"

We'd like to clear the record: The #PinePhone has two blobs -- neither runs on the main SoC: One loaded to WiFi/BT module, other enclosed within the cell modem. In the modern world of tech, both blobs are unavoidable.

For an overview from someone with deep knowledge of both the PinePhone and Librem 5: https://tuxphones.com/yet-another-librem-5-and-pinephone-linux-smartphone-comparison/

More worrying for me: what happens to the data if one of these DNA companies fold? It's a valuable asset they will be tempted (if not required) to sell. Think of the well-funded companies who would line up to buy it...

@manjarolinux@botsin.space Something is up with the notification bell in the panel in that screenshot. Should be grey/black and match the rest of breeze icons, not yellow like that. That was a really old patch where it was still like that.

@agx What's the maximum resolution of an external screen that the Librem 5 will be able to support? And will it be able to support more than one external monitor?

@kde@mastodon.technology Good to see! Especially the wind indicator. Now i'll know when it's safe to bring my Plasma outside... Don't want it blowing away!
