Apple ecosystem is overrated, welcome to the gnome ecosystem 🤓 (this is mostly a demo and you should not rely on these in a daily basis in a production environment)
#gnome #gnomemobile #postmarketos
btw, unlocking this tablet is such a painful experience, as you will need to have an one month old xiaomi account, then use a windows pc to use their official app, and wait for a week or two weeks, but, the final result it's very nice to use :DD

@panpantepan Just out of curiosity... Which Xiaomi tablet is this? 😱
@SuitedUpDev xiaomi pad 5
@panpantepan Nice! I Are you running PostmarketOS on it ?
@panpantepan If only my mobile data (& wifi) experience was stable and Pipewire wasn't quiet as hell, then I could probably use linux on mobile, for now I have to stick with android 😔
@sungsphinx which phone?
@panpantepan OnePlus 6, to be fair though I haven't tried really using it in a while (about a month or so)
@panpantepan I've tried using the OP6 again, and I still have the same experience with mobile data, it stays connected for a while (usually a few hours) but then it decides to disconnect and not reconnect unless I go to settings, turn off and turn back on mobile network, not really sure if it is to do with sleep as well. I'm trying to use it as a daily driver, but right now I just can't :[
@sungsphinx do you have suspend on?
@panpantepan i haven't really gone near much related to suspend, so probably
@sungsphinx then probably is that, i have it disabled cause it doesnt work reliable in op6, the calls or sms doesnt wake up the phone
@panpantepan been using it for more than a few hours today, no dropping out (so far) :D
@sungsphinx how it went?
@panpantepan haven't really used my phone today, but it still has a mobile data connection (after a few hours), yesterday it worked pretty good too. One of the main blockers now is that a few apps on my android phone don't have linux versions (mainly chat apps), otherwise it's gone pretty well.
@sungsphinx which chat apps? you could use matrix bridges (beeper use that, so you could give a look at it)

@panpantepan wait... now I'm wondering something...

It'd love to see someone do a video/blog on "gnome tablet vs android tablet". Genuinely curious if the Gnome experience is better (cause tablet android apps often suck)

@thibaultmol hmm, it is up to your needs, and if you are using gnome with mobile patches, im sure that i will make something like that in the future!
@panpantepan now i want a tablet to run gnome on
@panpantepan That looks great (coming from an iOS user, I honestly would love to use Gnome mobile but haven’t the time nor the phone to install it to).
@panpantepan What are those devices?
@rain oneplus 6t with postmarketos, and xiaomi mi pad 5 with fedora
@panpantepan damn you made me powerup the pinephone again
@panpantepan I haven't tried #postmarketos on a tablet yet but have done on a phone - is that Tuba you're running for fedi?
@panpantepan does the clock have to be on the left on the tablet or can it be centered like normal gnome?
@robot that's something i don't really know, when i installed gnome mobile the clock was on the left, hmm, i would need to check that
@panpantepan Really nice!! Thanks for sharing. Can you tell which devices have been used?
@petsoi oneplus 6t (phone), xiaomi pad 5 (tablet)
@panpantepan I have this tablet too (Mi pad 5) once it goes EOL I'd wanna get GNOME in it (though idk if it will support stylus and whether or not the hardware support will get better by then (it's already pretty good))
@panpantepan what tablet is it? Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 pro?
@stephanie xiaomi pad 5, non pro
@panpantepan Wow, it' s really cool!
Just some questions:
1. what tablet model did you install Linux on? Is it Fedora?
2. is screen rotation working correctly?
Thanks in advance.
@m3ss3dupbytes is the xiaomi pad 5, yes, it is fedora!
@panpantepan it has to be said that you shouldn't rely on apple devices on a daily basis or in production
@panpantepan my eyes hurt for all the wasted space. It it were a screenshot, It'd color it red, but it's a video, so just believe it'd be a giant flying red mess with a bit of content here and there

dig out a Nokia N900 from your drawer for reference. we still cannot match the 2009
@monk im forcing the mobile mode im the tablet with an extension
@panpantepan Promising! Touch detection seems to be a little temperamental, but looking forward to take Gnome-based setups into consideration next time I'm in the market.
@panpantepan It looks very appealing and triggers my "want to have" nerve 😁
