@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?

@carlosgonz@mastodon.social The screen has been running at 63Hz for a while already.

@leimon @purism Not on this video - I switched to 1366x768@60 because this TV looks bad at 1080p for some reason.
