The General Purpose Computer In Your Pocket
"What makes the Librem 5 special is that it reclaims the full potential of what phones should have been all along: a general-purpose computer in your pocket under your control."

#phosh 0.6.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.6.0
Besides more fixes for docked mode, the most visible change is @exalm@floss.social 's work to close apps by swiping up. This needs #libhandy 1.0.2.
#phoc 0.5.0 has been released, including mostly bugfixes around output handling. Grab it from https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/releases/v0.5.0
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
@Alexmitter Well yes, in both cases you need an additional hardware that isn't there by default as a prerequisite.
@Alexmitter When there's NFC in hardware, then maybe ;]
#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.

"Ultimately the Librem 5 phone lets you take your regular workflow with you while also keeping you in contact with your friends and family."
@purism While fixing #convergence related issues in #phosh, #phoc and the kernel for the #librem5 I wanted things to be more automatic. So #phosh can now enable a 'docked' mode on screen plug: windows become moveable automatically (and get their close button back), #squeekboard gets disabled and there's a quick setting that lets you toggle that too:
Thanks to @exalm@floss.social taking care of Webkit's packaging, Epiphany's GPU acceleration can now work on the #Librem5! Before (no acceleration) and after (GPU accelerated):
@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.
@mrmcq2u No slightest clue, I don't think I have any device to test it with here.
@etam That's IMO the least interesting part of the picture there, but see https://social.librem.one/@dos/104950183208029625 ;)
@lord It has worked very well for a while now. With a small driver hack I can even make its haptic feedback more quiet than what macOS allows ;)
