Did you know that Catacomb's window manager has built-in curling?

Just tile a window, switch to the overview, then try and land it in the target zone using touch velocity!

#linuxmobile #catacomb

Catacomb's 1.4.0 release is out, with some minor QoL improvements:
- Double-tap on the gesture handle now turns the display off
- Better iio-sensor-proxy support
- Improved touch velocity with different output scales and input polling rates

I see this effort as a perfect successor to the postmarketOS wiki tables, which relied on manually filled support levels.

It enables tracking across all distributions, different kernel versions, and patchsets.

It’s simple: you run a diagnostics app, and at the end, you can upload the results for everyone to see.

New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made.  

> Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos. It also means developers can reproduce the exact state of a user's device, making it much easier to track down and fix issues.

Introducing Duranium: a more reliable postmarketOS

Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

postmarketOS

@lynne Oh, ok...thanks, that's good to know and sad to hear :(

I was under the impression that it was at least partially an adoption problem - i.e. drivers/APIs etc. not being ready - will trust you on your judgement, though, if that has already been tried extensively.

FTR.: the "rubbish" devices where I'm still hoping to see improvements are e.g. #linuxmobile phones or older laptops where hardware codecs are often hard to get working well, or are missing for modern codecs like AV1.

Anyone know the current state of @furilabs and the FLXs1 device?

Thinking about grabbing one since I see they are now in stock.

#LinuxMobile #FuriOS

thinking of installing postmarketOS on my fairphone 5 (since it's only my 'backup' rather than my main (that's a pixel 8 w/ grapheneOS) there's isn't too much at risk).

but I've never done anything like this on a phone
(the pixel 8 came with graphene pre-installed). anyone got any experience with this or any tips? ​​
