Reading a bit on #PostmarketOS, #PlasmaMobile, #Halium etc.

There are lots of pieces in that puzzle, and I'm not likely to spring for the PinePhone hardware. But PlasmaM may be a viable option for a side project – I could pick away at it to vent frustrations with Android. I even see one of my old phones mentioned - the MotoG6 on which some have had some porting success.

(GrapheneOS sounds nice, but it's all Google Pixel hardware :frownyFace )

Прошила OnePlus 6 на #postmarketOS с #PlasmaMobile, а значит, у меня будет чем заняться на выходных!

Something happened today and now my #PlasmaMobile appears to be CPU-rendered 🫠

Pretty cool slow-mode on the animations, but a little harder to use haha

Kinda want to try #PlasmaMobile, but also don't really want to risk potentially bricking my phone and I don't want to buy a cheap inferior spec one to try it out on, since then I'd just have a more rubbish phone. 😞

Since switching to #postmarketOS, one of the things I missed most from Android is this curious keyboard app "Unexpected Keyboard," which lets you access most symbols with a swipe. Importantly for Linux, it has Ctrl, Tab, Escape, and arrows!

I found a repo called "Unfettered Keyboard" (by @flamingradian), which is a faithful port of the base features from my favorite keyboard! I switched to #PlasmaMobile a couple days back and am so thrilled to be able to use this keyboard on it!!

This is a sprint and a parallel research project I'm doing with a focus on desktop UX in a convergence-oriented environment. Would you like to discuss this little fork of #kde #plasmamobile with some #QML, C++, and #UX wizards?😶😶 #linux #mobile

Damn @plasmamobile is really good. Phosh still has more features which make it easier to use and plasma mobile is missing some features but workflow and UX wise plasma-mobile is already better.
