@dos I'd love to have Linux+Phosh on a phone, as I'm already a fan of Gnome desktop.
Is it best to root an Android phone? Or get a dedicated Linux phone? Or maybe a better question is, is there a place where those interested in Linux phone gather and share tips and tricks? Is there one here in fosstodon/mastodon/fediverse,?
Thanks for any help, love the animation!
@chesterdott @dos If you can afford it, buy a Liberty Phone from @purism.
Otherwise, try playing around with a used OnePlus 6/6T running #postmarketOS.
@opensourceopenmind @chesterdott I think the regular Librem 5 gives a bit better bang for the buck 😁 That's what I'm using and I'm still happy with it.
@dos @chesterdott I agree PureOS did feel more stable in my experience : ) I'm just too greedy for new features... hope to switch back to the Crimson release once it's out.
@opensourceopenmind @dos @chesterdott Librem 5 (or any other Linux phone) means you should use browser on cases that have "applications" on Android. therefor, browsers should be optimized well good HW (CPU and RAM) is essential.
@opensourceopenmind @dos @chesterdott Kumo is trying to address those needs https://github.com/catacombing/kumo
@bhyoram @opensourceopenmind @chesterdott > Kumo is a UI written around Safari's WebKit browser engine, so they should be comparable in behavior and performance.
So just like Epiphany, which I've been using for years on my phone?
@opensourceopenmind @bhyoram @chesterdott Right. WebkitGTK did use WPE as well until fairly recently though, but I'm not sure for what exactly.
@opensourceopenmind @dos @chesterdott will not write about missing features in Kumo because I assume it's just starting to be a browser. I do hope it will soon be possible to compile it on debian (without compiling lib wpewebkit yourself) so I might be able to help fixing some of the problems.
@dos @bhyoram @chesterdott The developer says, "Kumo does not use #WebKitGtk, but #WPEWebKit. Especially as far as rendering is concerned that is a significant difference."
