Ich hatte ja kürzlich über Catacomb, dem schlanken Desktop für Linux Mobile, geschrieben: https://gnulinux.ch/alte-technik-neue-freude

Nun gibt es tolle neue Weiterentwicklungen. Der Browser Kumo bietet bald die Möglichkeit die Browser-Engine einfach umzuschalten, zwischen Servo und WebKIT. Das finde ich wirklich genial!

A little preview of the multi-engine behavior in Kumo:

To quickly try out a website in a different engine, you can just reload it in WebKit/Servo through the context menu.

Kumo will remember which engine was last used for a domain and use that engine for all new tabs for that domain going forward. That way if you're interested in a new browser engine, you can transition one website at a time, rather than requiring a complete browser change.

It seems like many things have improved in #servo since I've last checked it out. Performance isn't perfect, but it does still manage to reach 60-70 FPS while screen recording on a Fairphone 5 (~90 without).

Plenty of work left to do before I can ship it as an alternative engine, but I think this time it might make it upstream rather than sitting in a branch for another year.

Catacomb's latest 1.3.0 release fixes an interesting issue:

Apparently on the PinePhone (Pro) when disabling `eg25-manager`, libinput generates a bunch of `XF86WakeUp` press/release events, ultimately ending up with the key permanently pressed. Since Catacomb supports multi-key bindings, it wouldn't trigger bindings anymore, since it only looked at the ones with `XF86WakeUp` active.

Just added compass support to Charon, which was surprisingly easy thanks to iio-sensor-proxy.
