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.

Love the new Initial Setup Wizard in KDE Plasma Mobile

#kde #plasmamobile

Na wspomnianym wcześniej Xiaomi Redmi 4A robię testy #postmarketos, żeby sprawdzić sobie w praktyce, jak to wszystko działa. Według wiki na tym telefonie ma nie działać głównie bateria, część kamer i część czujników. Na pierwszy ogień wleciała #plasmamobile, lecz całe środowisko graficzne jest zbugowane. Część elementów interfejsu oraz tekstu potrafi sobie znikać. Uwag mam znacznie więcej, ale pewnie będę testować jeszcze inne środowiska graficzne i będę prowadził notatki, robił zdjęcia, nagrania. Trochę się pobawię, zbiorę to wszystko i pewnie dobrym ludziom z @postmarketOS przekażę ;) Na kolejny ogień Phosh
