This is a great talk on Linux mobile :)

As this came up multiple times: phosh 0.20.0 currently requires GTK animations to be on:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations true
So if you (or your distro) turned it off please enable it before updating as otherwise you won't be able to use the overview.
I know animations are on by default in #pureos and #debian so nothing to do there.

@joao @silmathoron Counterpoint: I have never really used any Android phone as my daily driver, but sometimes I did have a need to pull one out of my drawer (even if just to test an Android build of one of my games). Waydroid starts to work well enough that I can really see it running on my L5 being enough for those rare cases!
For a regular daily use, a native app will always be strongly prefered, as running two full blown OSes on a phone is quite noticeably wasteful ;)
@silmathoron Yes, Byzantium. It needs patches in kernel, Mesa and Android image though - but nothing too weird or hacky, so hopefully this will work out-of-box in a not so distant future :)
Here's a trailer that we just made, for our game that's two years old already. Cute owls, intergalactic travels, weird puzzles with ordinary objects, plus legendary electronic sounds. Check it out :)

@boilingsteam Hey, you missed Karambola! It got published 2022-06-16 on Steam and Flathub, and this release was developed on GNU/Linux 😉 https://store.steampowered.com/app/765480/Karambola/
Together with #phosh itself I've tagged 0.20.0 versions of phosh-mobile-settings (to tweak some advanced mobile settings, https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings/-/tags/v0.20.0), phom (a virtual mouse to control the mouse cursor on a 2nd screen, https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phom/-/tags/v0.20.0) and phosh-osk-stub (a input-method debugging tool, https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/tags/v0.20.0)
phosh 0.20.0 is out 🚀📱 :
After three beta releases we've finally tagged phosh 0.20.0.
Check out the full release notes at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.20.0 . This also links to the release notes of the beta releases which have more details.
And the good news is we already have new merge requests pending for phosh 0.20.1 and 0.30.0.
@bshah Sounds like broken initramfs?
@chrichri Just for the record - GNOME Maps being painfully "slow" is actually a phoc bug that's fixed in 0.21.0, which just landed in octarine and should reach byzantium together with new phosh release that's about to happen any day now.
PS. Pure Maps sure is awesome! :)
This time on the podcast, @dos from @purism talks about his Die Hard GNU/Linux User On Phones life. How he's developing lots of great things for Phoc/Phosh, the Librem 5 and how he implemented his personal dream of shrinking windows that he had since the Openmoko days.

@gamingonlinux I *does* help me go through my backlog tremendously, although that backlog doesn't really get shorter indeed.
This is my old oil painting of my first cat [i] <3
