@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.

@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 ;)

Librem 5 phone + USB keyboard + USB touchpad + Bluetooth speaker + HDMI screen + Firefox + YouTube video

External screen, keyboard and mouse attached to my phone running my favorite IDE - Qt Creator. Looking forward to try this setup on the first post-pandemic game jam :D @purism

Adventures of porting postmarketOS to the Librem 5

"I’ve been longing to drop the shackles of Android ever since I made the decision to stop using my Nokia N900. Nokia had given up on Linux phones, and it was clear that there would be no further security patches for my favorite smartphone of all time. "

For 4 years my personal website relied ENTIRELY on javascript to display anything 🤦‍♀️ and none of these 4 years show up on the wayback machine, one of my biggest regrets..

@purism …and here's a quick Quake II demo using the docked via usb-c (audio is from L5's built in speaker) - might be a bit more exciting than running (which also works):

Librem 5 Emulators and Controllers

"While the Librem 5 does support many actively developed games, it also has an impressive list of emulators that can be used."

@purism And here's the connected to a usb-c hub that has a keyboard/mouse connected via usb and driving the external screen via dp-alt-mode. Needs some hacks still but we're getting there:

@someunexpectedsparks Please make sure that the device tree is set correctly for Dogwood, AFAIK some devices had that misconfigured:

```
purism@dogwood:~$ ls -al /boot/dtb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 sie 27 23:12 /boot/dtb -> dtbs/5.7.0-1-librem5/./imx8mq-librem5-r3.dtb
```

If it's not "-r3" there, let me know, it may contribute to some instability. If it's there, it's all fine :)

@linmob @appelgriebsch Yup, there's not a single binary blob in PureOS.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Mali-400 MP4 and judging by its performance in Animatch with closed driver on Android, the performance on the PinePhone is pretty much what I'd expect to see there.

@amosbatto Not sure to be honest, I'm using u-boot and kernel from Mobian repos - so I think it's 552MHz since some people had stability issues at 624MHz?

Managed to get PSP emulation working on the Librem 5!
