Hm, o.k. connection to the headset broke after a few minutes and was hard to recover.
Anyway, it looks like the software stack for #bluetooth of #PureOS on the #Librem5 is not the main problem and the built-in #redpine adapter causes most of the problems.

On my #Librem5 I tried to connect a Cherry MW 8 mouse and a Sennheiser MB660 via #bluetooth. Didn't work. To get a hold on the reason I decided to check with different bluetooth hardware and bought an usb bluetooth dongle. Now that I have the btusb kernel modul after cross compiling the kernel I can connect the mouse and the headset.

Listening to #RadioParadise 320k mp3 on #Shortwave on my #Librem5 just now.

Mouse works without glitches.

Problem seems to be the build-in #redpine bluetooth.

How funny is that: cross-compiled the first time. Kernel for my #Librem5 is working. I'll have to see if a merge request to include btusb by default is accepted in its repo...

Fast alle Samen meiner Vorzucht sind aufgegangen. Ich habe die Sprößlinge in Töpfe eingepflanzt, die ich - Danke für den Tipp @Easydor - zum Teil vom Friedhof geholt hatte. Nun stehen sie in dicht an dicht auf einem Rollwagen, damit ich sie langsam an das Sonnenlicht gewöhnen kann.

To give a impression of the camera of the #Librem5 I posted a resized (60%) version taken from a window above the plants and the cutout from that picture with the original size.

Just tested "drawing" on my #Librem5 in #convergence mode and found it quiet usable. In #PureOS #Byzantium there is a package that can be installed.

Suddenly #summer!

Let's see if I can't avoid the red blinking led on my #Librem5 when it is docked and charging.

It charged from 90% to full and the led didn't start blinking even though I used the L5 docked during that time.

I think I do have to record the temperatures over time the next time I charge and use.

Room temperature is at 23.8°C.

Another nice feature: I can switch off the screen (N360) without cutting the power to the #Librem5.

Switched from #Moment to #Nheko. Just great! Notifications work on the #Librem5 even though there are still problems with the sound themes. Seems to be stable and reliable for the first few days. The only thing I didn't find out, yet: Can't reach the context menu for messages (e.g. "reply" or "react" when using the touchscreen.

Ouch, droped my #Librem5. Luckily it barely got scratched on the metal frame. Still got to repair the edge of the tile it droped on....

Found my desktop #convergence setup for my #Librem5.

Problem had been that the L5 did discharge while connected to the #Nexdock360, because the N360 only delivers around 5W of power to the connected device.

This is fine if both devices are used on battery and discharge this way.

But I wanted to be able to use the L5 while charging.

Yeah, one point on my todo list for Librem5 using done 😃

Looking for information and a way to improve the situation I found that the #nexdock360 can only deliver 5W 5V/1A https://nexdock.com/support-nexdock-360/connecting-other-devices/ which isn't enough to run the #Librem5 https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem5-does-not-charge-through-nexdock360/16977/12?u=chrichri . For comfortable headroom for charging I would need 3A. Using a usb-c dock with hdmi and usb-c (keyboard/touchpad) connection to the N360 seems to work and keeps at least the charging level of the Librem5.

The #matrix Alpha-feature in #Chats on the #Librem5 does not support verification, yet, and didn't work reliably enough for me. I started testing #Moment https://gitlab.com/mx-moment/moment/ a fork of #Mirage and found it working well so far.

After some days using the #Librem5 with the matte display foil I found that in bright dayligth the screen is less readable than without the foil.

Maybe I'll have to switch to a glossy one...

Configured #geary today on my #librem5 - thanks to @geary for the software (seems to be the only) that adapts so well to the small screen.

Just would wish I'd find a way to not show all folders or at least disable notification for some of them.

I'd love to have notification only for my incoming, but not e.g. for a folder receives all the messages from git repositories I subscribed to...

BTW: cut these pictures to size using gimp on the #librem5. Gimp is not entirely usable as it installs without modifications.
But it looks good enough for simple modifications and probably can be improved a lot if some of the plugins I'd not use anyway would be removed to save memory.

Here are two pictures of the #Librem5 witht the "Matte" display foil installed.
It is obvious that the foil reduces the glare a lot when compared side by side with the bare display of the #nexdock360.

Received the screen protection foils I ordered for my #librem5.
After unpacking I've been sceptical, because all of them were slightly bent.
Tried the "matte" version and installation went smooth.
Just couldn't iron out one little error at the edge of the foil.

The camera of the #librem5 has a built-in macro - didn't know that...

#shotonlibrem5

As far as I could find out my #nexdock360 does not deliver enough power to the #librem5 to keep it running and charge it at the same time.

The N360 delivers about 5V/1A which isn't enough - battery goes down by ~3%/hour when the L5 is idle, screen on.

On the road this doesn't matter, because both batteries discharge, but on the desk I'd love to see the L5 charging while I use it docket to the N360.

Would be worth buying a kind of power injector to the usb-c connection if that only existed...

#screenshot #shotonlibrem5 showing my desktop when the #librem5 is docked to the #nexdock360.

This way the phone is usable like any #notebook. Performance is fine for most tasks. Didn't try things like #gimp, #libreoffice or #freecad, yet.

Didn't have to `root` the phone to get a root prompt or to dock it this way. It's just part of its functionality. Instead of `rooting` as way to use my device freely as I want and control my data I can now just alter open source software, program, improve.
