Protip: GTK can do hardware video acceleration using V4L2 on e.g. #Librem5, but only if you let it.

Adding "--device=all" to overrides lets it be used in #Flatpak apps that don't specify it in their permissions already, such as #Tuba.

I’ve finally gotten into something I wanted to try for a while, kernel development!

On my #librem5, I’ve managed to rebase the downstream kernel changes in 6.12 into the 6.15 branch. I plan to continue until I get it fully working, then I’ll rebase again to latest, then I’ll try to send patches to mainline it

If you happen to maintain a distro that runs on the #Librem5, then please be aware that all the known issues resulting in the modem dropping out from the USB bus have been resolved *years ago* already. This shouldn't happen even with runtime power management enabled if configured properly.

If you still see that happening on your distro, feel free to hit me up on Matrix and we'll work together to have your distro set up well.

Switch to a free and #opensource (#FOSS) #Linux phone of a company that put freedom to the user first.

"If you want a device that respects your autonomy, protects your data, and refuses to participate in the surveillance-by-design economy, Purism is the path forward."

Not as smooth as current Android (Google) or Apple phones, but full freedom to the user. I can accept some inconvenience to gain this control.
