@stsdc hej, widziałem twój edit nt. Widevine w pmos wiki. Chciałem dopytać - próbowałeś na ARM czy na x86? Bo zastanawiam się, czemu u mnie (ARM) zmiana user agenta na chromebookowego jest potrzebna nawet na 25.12

I like to run Linux on phones
@stsdc dzięki za podpowiedzi. Widevine faktycznie działa, ale Netflix już bez user agenta nie pójdzie - dopiszę się do wiki.
@alaraajavamma @okias and I agree with everything you said in your response to me here. Those who want the option to use non-mainline mobile Linux and understand the trade-offs well, should be free to do so, and non-mainline work will directly and heavily benefit the mainline future as well - especially in the mobile userspace.
@alaraajavamma @okias my point here is, your article would be totally OK for me, if the last paragraph suggesting to go and buy FLX1 (quoted above) wasn't there, or if it was not posted on an official blog of FuriLabs, but instead on some personal blog or something not directly related to a mobile Linux phone maker. Instead, in current context, it rather reads like aggressive marketing, similar to what Purism does against Apple/Google in their blog posts, but disguised under the words of respect for the work from Purism. Please take this as feedback rather than an attack from me, if your intent was not as I thought it was - as you can see by my reaction, I just think it shows FuriLabs in a bad light.
@okias seeing this post was very disappointing. Even if I was never interested in buying a non-mainline device, I thought better of FuriLabs. A mobile Linux company should work with the rest of the community on making the ecosystem better. Such marketing posts aimed at a mobile Linux competitor (even one with many faults) are not helping achieve that goal. I hope this was just a mistake which will be fixed in the future.
@zahntron @plasmamobile I used PlaMo on an ARM tablet for a while; I may be back as soon as new pmOS gets out.
Sidenote: (ARM) tablets work well with current mobile Linux stack. They don't need problematic features (ie. phone calls), so they're a good choice for dogfooding mobile Linux, while actually being useful at the same time.
@adamhavelka Have you seen Spot? It's a GTK-based, adaptive Spotify client. For mobile usage it worked well for me.
@Sturmflut I know this solution has its downsides, but Beeper (and other similar Matrix-based chat network aggregators) allows you to use the most popular chat networks, using any Matrix client on your Linux phone. And it "sells" the downside of mobile Linux as an advantage: all chat networks aggregated in one app.
That being said, I am not yet satisfied with Matrix clients for mobile Linux (when used with Beeper), but the last time I researched them was quite a while ago, I plan to try them out again.
@michaeldavies keep in mind: Linux phone's audio/calls stability still needs work, there is no such thing as a painless daily driver phone at this moment.
I own OP6, Pinephone Pro, Xiaomi Miatoll. I do not recommend PPP (bad battery life, overheating CPU, keyboard case has issues, I can go on...).
Fairphone 5, Poco F1 and OP6 should be very good (quite close to be ready for daily driving as a phone). Miatoll is a new but promising development. Note: FP5 and Librem5 are the only mainline devices, for which manufacturer supports the development.
If you want to daily drive a Linux phone right here right now, FLX1 is an exception - it's ready... at expense of basic security (it uses outdated kernel) and not running usual Linux stack under the hood.
Ubuntu Touch phones have similar upsides/downsides to FLX1.
