The Phosh 0.55.0 Release

Phosh
Shoaib and Richard Banda got #Phosh working on the #MechaComet  by @mechasystems with @fedora :
This still needs a bunch of work in Phosh and in GTK but it's a major step for us.

Anything special about this lockscreen of #phosh? It's rendered with #gtk4 ๐Ÿฅณ (I didn't do much here, this builds on the GTK work of Matthias Clasen for making GtkRoot a lot easier to implement and @arunmani 's Phosh porting work):

#LinuxMobile #gtk

With a bit of #blur in #phoc we can have more vivid backgrounds while text still remains easy to read. As this happens on the compositor side there's basically no performance impact (but we rely on two small, not yet merged wlroots patches). This is mostly groundwork for more things to come.

#phosh #LinuxMobile

Nice. Lots of people asked about the state the @shiftphones #shiftmq6  at #clt26, This is a major step forward:

Attached: 1 video Got the camera working โ€” then gave it focus. Always focus ๐Ÿ˜‰ SHIFT6mq now has proper ๐Ÿ“ท focus, and it finally feels usable. Build it yourself (for now): https://codeberg.org/sdm845/linux #SHIFT6mq #MobileLinux #LinuxMobile #sdm845

Speech input is one of the missing features in #Phosh's stevia. I had looked at several possible solutions but didn't want to pull in a ton more dependencies into stevia itself.

While looking for something completely different I stumbled onto #vosk-server which runs fully locally but can be talked to via websocket and so I could punch that into the prototype I had already alying around (video has audio):

#LinuxMobile

Time flies ๐Ÿš€: Exactly one year ago we had our association's founding meeting ๐Ÿฅณ.

Looking forward to the next year of developing and promoting #Phosh and the #LinuxMobile ecosystem, working towards user friendly #DigitalFreedom and #DigitalIndependence (nowadays often called #DigitalSovereignity) for the devices we carry in our pockets very day ๐Ÿ“ฑ.

Our next booth will be at #CLT2026 in Chemnitz, meet us there.

phosh 0.53.0 is out ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ“ฑ:
