I have nothing to hide, only from people that I know and trust.

Dear merchants, No cash no customer! Got it?
I use Monero XMR currency because I care about my future.
@DetachablePianist Ubuntu touch isn’t really Linux. Base distro is severely outdated and no support for flatpaks. It kinda follows the Android philosphy, building an OS on top of a Linux kernel.
Indeed mainline Linux is not fully ready either on Mobian or postmarket. However, development is highly accelerated by the enshittification strategy adopted by #bigTech. i.e google’s sideloading ban. You can expect public betas by the end of the year and production stage in 2027.
@matterofact @poVoq to be honest it will make it more popular amongst normies. Especially given that Android is a pathetic experience as a desktop, so they would not care about it. However, amongst Linux enthusiasts won’t be as popular.
@poVoq @matterofact yep. Very poor choice to drop DisplayPort feature. Basically, you loose convergence. I was betting on a Linux phone that I can leave my laptop at home and convert my phone into one. Fairphone 5 will remain ahead still.
@cyberwolfie I used postmarket with phosh interface on it for a month. I am impressed with its stability and overall experience. Most of drivers are already out. Is even better supported than Fairphone 4. However, it has no audio support. No microphones or speakers are working ATM. You can use sound via Bluetooth or USB for now.
Once it gets audio support I will get back on pmOS. Until that, I am also daily driving calyx on it.
@markkdark also waiting for a decent phone size to use with Linux myself.
Currently, I use a Fairphone 5 only because size is its only negative aspect. Apart from size, it has upgradeable battery and storage, decent performance and very good camera. As soon as there is another option at around 6 inch ready for Linux, I will sell this tablet from Fairphone.
@DerisionConsulting @poVoq even on custom android ROMs you don’t have full camera support.
@RecallMadness @poVoq oneplus 6/6t is the one supported by most of linux distros and also has close to 99% compatibility and stability.
is the fan really needed? as in temperature wise? or is just for fun?
@chiefbongo @Tixanou @velox_vulnus ppa is for system updates. flatpak is for app updates.
@haui_lemmy not more than any other interface. We need to have options. You would probably find less than 5% of people who will be selecting an iOS like interface, due to Apple being ferociously anti Foss ecosystem. But is good to have that option too.
@TheMightyCat Amazing work here. Can’t wait to get upstreamed and available in pmOS.
Don’t worry about the biometric collector (fingerprint reader). Some people don’t use it at all. The same goes for NFC which currently, its only use is to make payments which includes the use of a bank, therefore, against privacy rules.
