@agx @purism aha, ok, now I tried putting amber-phone-staging in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and it works, now apt gives me phosh 0.5.1. Excellent. Thank you!

@agx @purism Great! To try it, is it possible to install it using apt? Looks like I get phosh version 0.4.4 in both byzantium and amber-phone -- is there a way to get the new phosh 0.5.1? Or is building from source from the git repo the only way?

@redstarfish to make MS-DOS users feel at home in GNU/Linux? 🙂 I remember at some point in the 90s at a university where some Unix (Solaris) system was used, then there was no "dir" command and a friend of mine added it as an alias for his user because he was so used to MS-DOS.

@arran I'd like some good games for kids, fun games where they at the same time learn things, like math, building things, solving puzzles, things like that. Not sure if that exists already, if so I don't know about it.

@js everyone needs to finally let go of IPv4. I get that people see some problems with IPv6 but staying with IPv4 forever is *not* a better option!

@jrballesteros05 aha, and snap is bad because it is centralized, or for other reasons?

@jrballesteros05 for me, flatpak seems to be a convenient way to get to test the latest version of different FLOSS programs, in cases when it's not so easy to build in the normal way because the newest code needs some newer versions of certain libraries, things like that. For example I'm using it now to test the Geary email client on a #librem5 by building a .flatpak file on my laptop using GNOME Builder and then copying the .flatpak file over to the phone. This seems useful, I think.

@jrballesteros05 what's wrong with flatpak packages?

@thibaultamartin Wow. This seems almost too good to be true. 😃 Why isn't everyone using flatpak for everything then?

@thibaultamartin @gnome @purism OK, new attempt: #librem5 Birch, #gnome-maps 3.38.1 installed via flatpak (flathub). This works much better, and no need for that -O0 trick anymore. This version seems to adapt perfectly to the screen size. It works really well!

@thibaultamartin Thanks, I'll try that!

@thibaultamartin @purism @gnome This is gnome-maps version 3.30.3 which is what I get by default on the Librem 5, PureOS "amber". I wrote more about it here: https://forums.puri.sm/t/gnome-maps-debugging-adventures-on-the-librem-5/

@thibaultamartin @purism @gnome Just managed to get GNOME Maps running on a #librem5 Birch. At first there was a crash in libmozjs but now, after recompiling libmozjs with -O0 -- it works! #gnome-maps

@manjarolinux@botsin.space Nice! On that picture it looks like your factory image will be using the Phosh user interface developed by @purism for the #librem5 -- is that right?

@purism I see that GNOME Maps has been added now -- great!

@thibaultamartin @purism Nice to see that GNOME Maps has now been added here: https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/

@purism Please add GNOME Maps! https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Maps

@thibaultamartin You mean GNOME Maps? In my case I wasn't aware of it, I just saw PureMaps on the top list and then assumed there was no viable GNOME choice so then I voted for PureMaps. Now I will have to go and vote again, this time for GNOME Maps 🙂

@stemid Snyggt! Kolla #librem5 för en annan lösning på problemet.
