Librem 5 Visual Walkthrough
"With the Mass-produced Evergreen phone now starting to ship, we put together a video walkthrough of the launch software as well as an overview of the final hardware."
Based on @craftyguy 's #osk-sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the #librem5's image-builder so one can build #luks encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:
@okias @mntmn @purism Doom 3 was already shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_HXQJkWjUQ though ;)
@purism ...and here's Kao Challengers played in PSP emulator (PPSSPP) at 3 times the original resolution. All on free software drivers! :)
@purism Currently manages 30 FPS, just right for that perfect cinematic experience ;) There's still work to do to unleash the full power of the SoC though!
SuperTuxKart played on a Librem 5 phone using an external keyboard and a 1080p TV. So this is this "mobile gaming" they keep talking about, huh? :D

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 馃殌 : 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 馃殌 : 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.
