Pine64: hey arm is shit but here's a functional device
Purism: guys just give me more money I promise you're not getting scammed
@beegrrl At least they developed Phosh and some other apps that are pretty nice.
@grainloom by "apps" you mean "reskinned existing software"
@beegrrl What's Phosh a reskin of?
@grainloom gnome-shell
It's literally just gnome-shell but with some tweaks that make it less painful on screens smaller than a tablet
@beegrrl @grainloom Phosh is not related to gnome-shelll
@sir @grainloom good luck separating gtk+ from the gnome-shell dependencies that holds it all together
@beegrrl @grainloom I literally wrote like half the Phosh code lol
They forked my Wayland compositor
@sir Phosh is not a compositor, it's a shell that can run on various layer-shell compositors. What you mean is called phoc, which is indeed forked from rootston, but progressively getting rewritten into being a glib application.
I joined already after it was forked, but I'm very glad it was done this way. Restructuring and fixing rootston codebase was a perfect way for me to learn Wayland and I could contribute plenty of fixes back to wlroots (and some even to sway) in the process.
