Hide apps on immutable distros with Phosh

PeerTube

So I'm a pretty big fan of my new phone so far. #FuriOS wouldn't be my first choice of Linux Mobile operating systems, but it's fine. I would prefer #PlasmaMobile to #Phosh, but Phosh is also fine ( I prefer a clean desktop to an always present app list; always present app lists render wallpaper pointless) .

All that said… I miss my #Android keyboard. The predictive text was better, it auto-capitalized the start of sentences, it auto capitalized the word "i" and previously entered proper nouns, and while the autocorrect was sometimes annoying , it turns out that not having it is worse. For this Owlbear it is, at least.

Also, it auto-spaces after punctuation, which The Owlbear is having trouble getting used to and seems like a really stupid feature for a keyboard intended to be used ( at least sometimes) in a terminal. Not auto-capitalizing letters makes sense for a terminal keyboard, but auto spacing after punctuation ( including parentheses ) doesn't.

So the keeb isn't great for either.

Please help us test out the new Arch Linux ARM images for #PinePhone and #PinePhonePro :)

You can also grab a virtual machine image to try some things: https://bengalos.phosh.mobi/

BengalOS is an operating system to try out Phosh nightly images

Help in testing the release candidates is much appreciated: https://dev.phosh.mobi/docs/releases/testing/ .

This is especially simple on @mobian and @postmarketOS  as nightly builds are available for these distros via separate repositories.

These distributions also usually contain the release candidates early in their #unstable and #edge distribution channels.

Release Testing

Release Testing# During the release freeze we rely on community testing to catch regressions before a new release ships. If you’re able to run the nightly builds for a few days and report your findings, you’ll directly help improve the quality of the upcoming release. You can help with that by testing the nightly builds on your device or in a virtual machine. You can file any findings by reporting a bug. For release dates see the release calendar.

@dangnghiatrung The only mobile keyboard I've found to be acceptable for terminal usage is Hacker's Keyboard on Android (my go to keyboard for probably 15 years now and not changing). I don't want gestures and I don't want important keys shoved off to secondary pages or suggestion rows. I do want a functional shift, control, alt, tab, and arrow keys. On #postmarketOS with #phosh and #squeekboard I made my own YAML layout that is a mix between a physical layout and Hacker's Keyboard.

@postmarketOS edge installed on my OnePlus 6 for a long time now, and with every update it keeps getting better and better. The @phosh interface feels smoother and more responsive, and the only thing I still really miss is window switching like in @gnome Mobile. Still, I think that after some time it could become good enough for daily use. Thanks to everyone involved! And yes, the camera is working much better now too. I’m glad I once bought my wife a OnePlus 6.
