I've put together a short overview on #phosh and closely related components and how they play together: https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/phosh_overview.html
#phosh 0.7.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.7.1
Bug fixes for keyboard navigation, monitor unplug, and modal dialog background rendering (@dos) but also new features like keygrabbing support (to make e.g media keys work) by @devrtz and initial logind support.
@Lofenyy@mastodon.technology @purism phoc is the compositor, phosh is the shell. phoc draws all surfaces on screen and handles window management, but has no UI on its own. phosh provides the UI and implements GNOME interfaces.
phoc is like kwin; phosh is like plasmashell
With latest updates, GNOME Web (Epiphany) can play YouTube videos on the Librem 5, so you won't have to switch to Firefox to do that anymore. And you won't believe where the bug was located[1]! ;) Call `sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav` or wait a few days until it's installed by default with the next update and enjoy. @purism
[1] it was in glibc...
@bshah @kde@mastodon.technology @plasmamobile IMO a very good decision. Personally I've always deliberately skipped Halium-based projects in my efforts. Don't just port your stuff to foreign platforms; own the platform! ;)
Important decision for @kde @plasmamobile project

#phosh 0.7.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.7.0
This features automatic media mounting, initial support for background XML, handling of per app `show-banners` notification setting and fixes for swipe window closing by @exalm@floss.social
Still waiting for you @purism #Librem5 to arrive, too? Watch @gbryant's nice unboxing and first impressions video of the Librem 5 Evergreen: https://lbry.tv/@TheLinuxGamer:f/gb-evergreen:a
The game is ODGŁOS that takes you through a journey about the origins of electronic and experimental music, which you can play in browser: https://holypangolin.itch.io/odglos
Starting a phone call from the terminal on a #librem5 Birch. This call is to the good old "Fröken ur" speaking-clock service telling us the current time in Swedish. Fröken ur apparently existed since 1934 but it was not until 2020 that I learned how to call her from the terminal. 😃 Thanks @dos for the tip that xdg-open could be used in this way. @purism #calls #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware
Hi, I'm dos. Silly FLOSS games, open smartphones, terrible music and more. 50% of @holypangolin; 100% of dosowisko.net. he/him/any. I don't receive DMs.
