Sneak Peek of the Next PureOS Release on the Librem 5

"With the next release of PureOS, code-named Byzantium, just around the corner, let’s give you a sneak peek of what you can look forward to."

@archit3ct

Fully agree with you: #Librem5 and #Pinephone actually help each other and we need both to fight with the walled gardens of #Android and #iOS:

However I often see people saying that they have almost the same specs: same CPU and same amount of RAM.

So i wanted to see if developing new system modal dialogs for #phosh becomes simpler (and less code) with the recent changes so i took a stab at the EndSessionDIalog:

#Librem5 vs #Pinephone

#Convergence aka #Desktop mode works fine on both #smartphones for light tasks. But what is "light"? This is where they differ.

#Librem5 (left) smoothly plays two videos simultaneously (one of which is 60 fps), whereas #Pinephone is struggling with single 30 fps video.

Why? Librem 5 has 30% faster CPU clock speed, 140% faster RAM standard, roughly double the GPU performance. More details: https://forums.puri.sm/t/comparing-specs-of-upcoming-linux-phones.

#Librem5vsPinephone

#Convergence works fine on both #phones with original Pinephone USB-C Docking Bar.

#Librem5 (left) and #Pinephone (right) are usable as #Desktop computers for light tasks.

#Firefox is the desktop version with all #plugins you want.

Can your #smartphone do this?

if you only want to disable that for the on screen keyaboard you can use

gsettings set org.sigxcpu.feedbackd.application:/org/sigxcpu/feedbackd/application/sm-puri-squeekboard/ profile silent

If somebody wants to look at the GUI bits: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/gnome-control-center/-/issues/115

If flatpaks ask #geoclue for location service access #phosh can now handle that as a #geoclue agent (which became useful after fixing that for recent kernels using cgroupv2 (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/81):

This is @postmarketOS with @plasmamobile on the @purism #Librem5 Evergreen.

Can Librem 5 run Flutter linux desktop apps? Yep! I was able to successfully build and run my BodySculpting weightlifting workout app today on Librem 5 itself. Code once, build for Android, iOS, and Libremt5, how cool is that!

This #60fps video shows how smooth scrolling in #Firefox on the two #phones is.
#Librem5 with #PureOS vs. #Pinephone with #Mobian
#Librem 5 wins, again.

#Librem5vsPinephone
Maximal and minimal #brightness of the #smartphones. #Librem5 beats #Pinephone at both. Also the Pinephone screen colors look colder in comparison. Librem 5 screen looks more pleasant to my eye.

#phosh 0.9.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.9.0

Now supports #GNOME's OSD DBus protocol, indicates microphone hardware kill switch state, fixes around the overview including long-swipes. Requires libhandy >= 1.1.90

Thanks @devrtz @dos, @exalm@floss.social

This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.

Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!
