@yisraeldov All good! I've got 3 awesome kiddos.

I'm curious how many Fediverse-using nerds (if you're following me, good odds you're a nerd) have children.

(If you have a kid on the way, feel free to count that in your total.)

@ozoned Yes. Very, very good chances. ;)

I should make a patch for dosbox.conf in the package for the #Librem5. That way it'll fit on the screen just right for folks when they install it, with no fiddling.

Getting DOSBox just right on my phone.

I've got my personal priorities. ;)

Installed unmodified desktop #DOSBox on my #Librem5.

Performance is fantastic (can play some great DOS-era games), but the display is just a tiny bit too big for the screen.

Then I remembered it fit on the Librem 5 dev kit with one line changed in the .conf. (Window size.)

@mariusor Sailfish definitely does it in an interesting way. I find the differences in task switching/management between different systems oddly fascinating. :)

iOS and Android both have task switching and app launching as different functions and views. Are there any operating systems that put them together like on the #Librem5?

I'm drawing a blank. But I kind of dig it!

@masterofthetiger@theres.life Weirdly well. The UI is cramped as heck (obviously), but it's totally actually usable. And honestly doesn't look bad! Just... so rad.

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.

I am seriously blown away by how much of the @gnome software works on the smaller, touch-centric screen of the #Librem5.

The work of the GNOME team, the @purism crew, and so many independent developers that are making this happen... truly impressive.

All of you rule.

@masterofthetiger@theres.life Yup. :)

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. :)

Side-by-side:

Librem 5 Dev Kit & Librem 5 "Aspen" batch.

@lazerbeak12345 I actually used to do that! Did that with a Pi 2 for several months. Worked astoundingly well!
