I find task switching on the #Librem5 (PureOS) really interesting.
The launcher and the switcher are the *same* view.
No apps are running: the grid of installed apps takes up the full view.
With apps are running: the top half becomes a row of the apps you can swipe through.
It's amazing to me how much software is already available on the Librem 5.
- Some of it optimized for touch screens.
- Some partially optimized.
- Some not yet optimized, but functional.
The power of Free and Open Source software (and Linux) at work. :)
@lazerbeak12345 I actually used to do that! Did that with a Pi 2 for several months. Worked astoundingly well!

Holy smokes.
LibreOffice runs on the Librem 5!
AND IT WORKS.
Saving files, opening files, typing... the UI is a bit cramped (it's a desktop app on a phone)... but hot-diggity! It works!
Well. LibreOffice successfully installed on the Librem 5!
But... I mean... It won't actually run.
... will it?
I love #Linux. I fell asleep reading about the sudo security flaw, and woke up this morning with the patch ready to install! #opensource goodness!
Giving users the power to moderate their own feeds is the key. Centralized moderation will always be flawed--a company can never represent your sensitivities as well as you and your peers (and will likely bow to outside pressure to censor, whether it's China or groups of users).

The openSUSE project is voting to change their name. Should they change? What name should "openSUSE" change to?
