Really? That's a standard thing when ordering from US to EU. You don't have to pay VAT on import only if the value is low enough to fit within the limit, or if it wasn't correctly declared and you're lucky that it wasn't checked on border (which is pretty common for things ordered from China).

@immychan When it comes to the CPU, then aside of the obvious clock speed increase (1.152GHz vs. 1.5GHz), the Librem 5 SoC also has twice as large L2 cache - but I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes in practice.

@immychan From my experience it's mostly about RAM speed - L5 has LPDDR4-3200 while PinePhone has only LPDDR3-1333 which is further clocked down by stability issues (I believe most distros have it at 1104). For some workloads it's also the GPU - L5's GC7000L is much faster than Mali-400.

(technically both phones actually contain RAM that's capable of being faster than that but LPDDR4-3200 and LPDDR3-1333 is what their SoCs limit its speed to)

@tbernard oh, it's clearly a git-over-bittorrent client!

@coucouf @kaidan This means it will also be part of PureOS Byzantium and easily available on the Librem 5 when it switches to Byzantium, yay! \o/

@carlosgonz@mastodon.social As I said, those updates are not related to mainline releases. There were several 5.9 kernels distributed for Librem 5 and a new one is now available in the staging repo (and will migrate to production in a few days). This particular fix is included in version 5.9.16+librem5.1.

@carlosgonz@mastodon.social @agx Battery level is already fixed in a 5.9 update that's currently in staging repos, and PD should follow soon. Those things aren't aligned with mainline kernel releases.

But answering your question - there's already a 5.11-rc2 tree available for testing and I'm running it on my phones. https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/tree/imx8-next-librem5

@gamey If the drivers have improved since the last time I tried it there, it might have worked out-of-box in GL mode now. You may still get slightly better performance in GLES though.

@Alexmitter @gamey In case of PinePhone, that would be making it use GLES instead of GL.

@Alexmitter @gamey It has worked there since the very beginning, you just need to compile it properly to accommodate for Lima's poor GL2.1 support :P

Just tagged phoc 0.6.0 - notable changes: filters out touch events on disabled touchscreens (thanks to @craftyguy), improves handling of tiled windows, includes plenty of bugfixes for mouse pointer support and tries a bit harder to fit windows onto the screen (which may help some Flatpak apps). Grab it for your distro while it's fresh! #librem5 #phosh #phoc #gnomeonmobile #mobile #gnu #linux @purism https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/releases/v0.6.0

@carlosgonz@mastodon.social Yes, that's what I meant. Scrolling in Epiphany is slow, and zooming is super slow, but that's Epiphany's (and gtk's) thing. What's properly GPU-accelerated works smoothly on the L5.

@carlosgonz@mastodon.social Epiphany is slow even on my laptop. AFAIK there's still plenty of work needed to make it as performant as it could be.

A few years ago I've switched my Debian server from unstable to testing. These days I start to consider leaving it on stable once Bullseye gets released.

Am I... growing up?
