Here's Plasma Desktop on PureOS Byzantium running on the Librem 5 phone docked to an external display - just because :D @kde@mastodon.technology @purism #librem5 #kde #plasma #mobile #gnu #linux

@linmob I think that term may mean several things. There are commercial projects released on free licenses (wink wink); there are some licenses made with commercial interests in mind that pretend to be "open source" but in fact don't match the definition; and there are projects that sell their builds of fully FLOSS software as a way to finance the development (so you can build for free on your own, but people buy it for convenience and support).

@linmob In what context?

@white_gecko I need to finally dust off that old build tree on my disk and make SHR run on the Librem 5... :D

@gamey Ah, I'm using the Librem 5 and acceleration works fine there. It's not as snappy as Firefox is, but it's snappy enough for Hydrogen ;)

@linmob @lowkeylone I'm using Hydrogen as Epiphany's web app as my primary mobile Matrix client right now and it works pretty well.

This may not be the most impressive winter selfie (it's a 8M sensor outputting 0.3M after all), but you got to start somewhere :) #librem5

I did nothing but taking the photo (looped in a script with v4l2-ctl and dcraw; then displayed on screen using Eye of GNOME) - all the credit goes to Dorota and Martin, and the work continues there: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/43

@Alexmitter @bleakgrey Thankfully it's not the underlying tech that makes it hard - it's just a matter of tooling and culture around it, so fortunately it does seem like it's just a matter of time and maturity.

@Alexmitter @bleakgrey Yeah, I find the fact that it's super hard even for the *user* to patch libraries used by Flatpak apps to be its huge problem. For you and me it's the scrolling bug, someone else may need a quick hack to improve accessibility, someone else may want to test their patch on real apps before contributing upstream... Flatpak makes this hard for no good reason. I hope this will get better with time as power user needs get recognized and proper documentation gets written.

@thelinuxexperiment Looks like the animations in GTK are disabled - is this Manjaro's default?

@dylanvanassche @agx Yes, you can even do it right from the GUI in GNOME Settings now.

@scops Dumping the systemd journal from the previous boot would do it. Make sure to skim it for personal data though before sharing :)

@scops Would be nice to gather some logs then. Do you have the latest kernel installed? We used to have very unreliable battery meter that could lead to unexpected shutdowns too, but that should be fixed by now.

@scops If the compositor crashes, the screen goes blank for a few seconds. Then people tend to press the power button instead of waiting for phosh to come up again (which, well, is a natural reaction to screen suddenly going blank), which in turn triggers a full shutdown as that's what systemd does when it notices the power button being pressed and there's no compositor to intercept it.

I'll take a look whether we can block that power button behavior when the compositor isn't up.

@scops Does your Librem 5 shut down unexpectedly? That shouldn't happen and doesn't happen for me here. Are you sure it's not just a compositor crash? (asking since people very often confuse those) Which hardware batch is it?
