ThibI’m about to flash @postmarketOS with @phosh onto my OnePlus 6 to use as an evening device when I’m not in front of a computer.
What apps should I absolutely not miss out on?
Daniel Wood@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh
Tuba and Fractal are the first two I install on a device.
Jan VlugI use #GNOME #Podcasts (https://apps.gnome.org/Podcasts/) and GNOME Shortwave (https://apps.gnome.org/Shortwave/) both every day.
To find podcasts I use the https://podcastindex.org/.
LINux on MOBile@thibaultamartin Planify is definitely a highlight, and GNOME Podcasts has improved. If you have specific use case where you're looking for an app, feel free to ask @linuxphoneapps @postmarketOS @phosh

Guido Günther@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh
on top of what was already mentioned:
- #Iotas for notes (with nexcloud sync)
- #foliate for ebooks (especially fullscreen where it now turn on dimming, etc)
- #gapless for music
- #flare for signal
SenderoLinux@thibaultamartin You can check out more ideas in this thread: https://mastodon.social/@senderolinux/115328421004048234
David Clubb@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh Adding to the list; shattered pixel dungeon ( ! ) , foliate or readest, audacious, nextcloud desktop ( if you have an instance), otp client.

And the whole category on Flathub.

Ati@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh Freetube was mentioned here. I think it didn't work on my Postmarket Pixel 3A but will check again. For Podcasts if you need off timer and / or double volume controll you should look at KDE Kasts. It works kind a slow and I have to download podcasts as streaming couses app to freeze eventually. But knowing that - it works.

@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh Shortwave! https://flathub.org/en/apps/de.haeckerfelix.Shortwave, looks as great on mobile as great as on desktop and will definitely be an extraordinary tool in case of not knowing what music to listen to :D
And, if you require any medications at all, there is a good reminder app for that: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.diegopvlk.Dosage, scales great to a mobile phone's size, and, honestly, I don't know anything as good as this on android, so that's kinda beneficial about the fact that you'll have an arm linux on your device :D (at least that's how I see it, I currently daily driver my Google Pixel 3a with PostmarketOS and it has been better than I thought it would be!)

InvisibleOcelot@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh If you're into flatpaks, Bazaar (https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar) is a big improvement over GNOME Software as your main app store, especially on a slower device like the Oneplus 6.
Although you still need GNOME Software for GUI system updates.

@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh also, just a general tip: if you create a flathub account you can bookmark apps and the website generates a single command to install all of them. Makes it a little easier to install your favorite apps on multiple devices.

You could also export a list of installed flatpaks with `flatpak list --app --system --columns=application | tr '\n' ' '` and use that to reinstall programmatically

@pbeccard @thibaultamartin you can, the issue I have with that method is that different OSs love to use flatpak for slightly different scopes of apps. One will install the default video player as a flatpak that's installed by default, the next one installs it via a "normal" package. So `flatpak list` ends up a little bloated depending on your OS.
@pbeccard @thibaultamartin but the overall winner for me is using bazzar as my software store, logging in to flahub via bazzar and installing & managing my favorites through there. That method also avoids the issue where if one apps isn't compatible with your CPU architecture the flatpak command fails
