What a huge improvement! Could you post a full image at it's original, full resolution? I'd love to see what just a default jpg comes out looking like at it's full resolution.

LINux on MOBile

Regarding the price see: https://mastodon.social/@janvlug/116510085888567116

There are no is no monthly fee for the #Librem5 itself. You can use it with the provider of your choice.

You can take a totally optional #PureOS subscription though: https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-optional-subscription-added-to-advance-development/ Such subscription will help funding the advancement of PureOS. Which in the end will also help the #MobileLinux eco system.

@mihamarkic Yes, but the FOSS itself is not hosted. If you use for example #PureOS you just install it on your phone (or other device). It is self hosted on your device, so not under US jurisdiction.

So, using a US cloud provider means US jurisdiction, which I also do not want to fall under that for my data.

But for example, I self host #Nextcloud, and use that with PureOS on my #Librem5 (and other computers). This is perfectly fine even regarding the fact that PureOS is not EU based.

@FrostDaemon I cannot answer this question for you. I live in the Netherlands. But here is a page of supported mobile providers for the #Librem5:

You can use Android apps with #Wayland on the #Librem5. But personally, I have no experience with Wayland.

For navigation (#openstreetmap based), I use #PureMaps (https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.rinigus.PureMaps) and just looking at GNOME maps (https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.Maps).

Indeed, it is like using whatever could run on the #Linux desktop. Ideally, adaptive applications:

Wow. Good to hear. I have patience, and I can handle inconvenience to have freedom. And the inconvenience regarding the connectivity loss nowadays is very minor.

Thanks for all your work, every update the #Librem5 is getting better, highly appreciated!

@khleedril I use Signal Desktop on the #Librem5, installed as #flatpak (unofficial).

Apparently, @signalapp is working towards having Signal Desktop fully independent of the Android and iOS apps.

Signal Desktop without a mobile phone, standalone version in development

Signal is working on a standalone version of its desktop app that does not require a mobile phone. Signal Desktop will also gain additional options when used as a linked device.
