All my #WebKit merge requests have been merged. Now #WebKitGTK supports touch PointerEvent API, touch point coordinates are fractional, synthesized mouse events are unbroken and both WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit handle pointer capture and release according to the spec. This should considerably improve compatibility of #Epiphany (#GNOME Web) with touch interfaces.
There are still some more things to fix in there, maybe someone in #mobilelinux #linuxmobile community would like to give it a try?
@grote Let's work towards good Android app support for #LinuxMobile 📱 so we can benefit from the nice #FreeSoftware apps that are there and being developed without having to worry about what Google does.
@grote we're voting with our wallets, invest some of your time into checking out alternatives to Android and iOS, look at what mobile Linux can offer, good potral to get overview is https://linmob.net/
If you develop app, there are lot of ways to easily port apps to (mobile) Linux too.
This past week: postmarketOS publishes 2025 financial report and 2026 budget, GNOME 50 approaching with libadwaita 1.9 released with new sidebar widget for adaptive apps, Stevia speech input prototype via vosk-server - talk to Phosh, Plasma Keyboard improvements and way more. Enjoy!
For Charon 1.6.0 I decided to steal a great feature from Organic Maps: You can now zoom in and out easier by double-tapping and moving the finger up and down.
A full list of changes can be found in the release notes:
https://github.com/catacombing/charon/releases/tag/v1.6.0
nice linux7.0-rc4 booting on sdm845-hdk with the dts for the hdk form the patchset currently in lkml
graphics, PCIe, Wlan still WIP
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!
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.
