Sure, Android might be "Open Source" good luck trying to tweak part of the core system without having to build and re-flash the ENTIRE OS, and probably format your phone.
Android was not built to be modified by anyone who doesn't use the term "end user" on a near daily basis.
and like, damn girl, we can do better than this

There is a long standing issue in #phoc (the #wayland compositor used with #phosh (but as I recently learned also other projects like #bananui) that makes windows flip their size when crossing a screen edge (as tiling is (incorrectly) kicking in). This makes dragging windows around in docked mode harder than necessary.
This is about to improve and (thanks to the ground work over the past months) we can also add some visual feedback:

it's cute when websites think I would turn off my ad blocker rather than just leaving the page
so I received my #librem5 just over 4 months agok. In that time it went from "this is probably going to join another Linux phone in the drawer" to something somewhat usable. Still not a daily driver but a lot of that is on me. Time to re-evaluate my digital serfdom, little by little.
It took me a month but I finally got used to the #librem5 thickness and weight. Even better, it doesn't heat up as much anymore, and suspend is slowly getting better.
#librem5 initial impressions after 3 days:
- thick, heavy, warm, we all know it
- I was expecting performance to be worse than it is. Aside from JS heavy sites, no complaints so far. Didn't try to run heavy apps like LibreOffice or Evolution.
- the openpgp smartcard is nice! Already using it for my password mgr and for ssh, now I want to do the same on my other devices
- dino v0.3+ is great on mobile
- #convergence is great but needs some work/better lapdokck than ND2
- charges very slowly
#emacs with #convergence on the #purism #librem5 with a Nexdock 2. I hope this idea catches on more and more!
