@purism That was a good list, but you did miss a couple of my personal favorites. I'd highly recommend checking out Kobe Deluxe as well as Battle for Wesnoth. Also, there is really high quality stealth game called "the dark mod", that I would recommend. IIRC, it is built using the Doom 3 engine.

@linmob Thanks for putting together this write-up! I suspect that after Linux on phones matures a bit more, Linux on tablets will begin to get a lot more focus. With that in mind, it's nice to see where things start as of today.

@linmob Oof, that vulnerabillity looks pretty bad. So you thinks its worth it to move to bitkorgis firmware instead? Do all the calling, texting, and whatnot work with his new firmware? Thanks in advance!

@devrtz @trregeagle @kyle @purism I use my pinephone with a nexdock almost every day. Just in case you don't know already. There are two great hotkey combinations in phosh, Super+A and Super+S. The first opens the tray for launching new apps. The second opens the tray for easy task switching. Learning those hotkey combos in phosh dramatically improved my experience while in convergence mode.

@tuxdevices @shiftphones @Fairphone I've been daily driving my pinephone for over half a year now and its been great. I agree with your rankings too. I think the Librem 5 would be higher up the rankings if only people got the phones they ordered already. As for me, I've been waiting 3.5 years for mine to arrive. I'm don't plan to cancel my order as Purism does important work, but I must admit that the pine phone pro coming out, it does sting a bit.

@debconf That was a great presentation, thanks @agx .I've been daily driving phosh on my pinephone (pmOS) for months now, and I think the feature I am most looking forward to is for convergence mode to remember how I had my displays configured when I connect a display. I always disable the built-in display when I hook my phone up to my nexdock, it would be great if the device remembered my preference and just reconfigured it as I last had it when connected.

@debconf @agx Oh and I had another thought/question. Given the good mainline support of the Snapdragon 845 as mentioned from the presentation. Does that mean that Purism is perhaps evaluating that SOC as an option for a future revision of the #Librem5 ?I'm still waiting on my Librem5 order, but even so I am really jazzed about Linux phones, I don't ever want to go back to android. So it makes me excited about what you guys will make next. Anyhow I'm just curious.

@linmob Absolutely not! I think the linux phone ecosystem is only thriving as well as it is now because of the existence of both the pinephone and the Librem 5. I think it is important that there are options at multiple price points. Purism's big contribution was in Phosh, phoc and squeekboard. Pine64's big contribution was getting out devices quickly and cheaply to developers. In a lot of ways, I view the pinephone as the raspberry pi of the linux phone world...

@linmob Another great summary! Thanks for always taking the time to pull together the news into a nice little package. I certainly appreciate it.

@jakob FYI: As a former newpipe user myself, FreeTube is a decent alternative available on Flathub. Also, MMS does actually work on #PostmarketOS stable now. You just have to make sure to get things configured correctly within Chats/Chatty (check under preferences / Protocol Settings / SMS and MMS settings / MMS Carrier Settings). You can always search online for which settings to use for your particular carrier.That said, this was a great blog post, thanks!

@craftyguy @jakob It works great in all of those scenarios. The only thing that isn't perfect is that the on screen keyboard doesn't automatically come up when you search for videos. So just manually enable it before trying to search. Also, if using a pinephone set preferred video quality to 360p, any higher and the phone will choke. Enjoy!

@MissBehave @JF I feel like I had it paired with the L5 at one point, but yeah I have had no luck getting it paired for the past couple of weeks. Here's to hoping it's an issue with BLE and will be resolved by the new WIFI/BT card.

@kyle You may call me uncultured, but I think that looks great. On a side note... what an interesting hobby, a very tangible and creative one. Probably pairs really well with software development... I spend hours upon hours writing code or working on documents, but never really have anything too tangible to show for it. Maybe I'll take this as a sign that I need to get back to brewing beer. That way I'd at least have a hobby that others could enjoy as well.

@PublicLewdness @janvlug @purism I don't think it will. Suspend was already working reliably on the pinephone for quite some time now.

@agx Whoa, looks like there are some serious improvements to that version of the OSK (I like the incorporation of spelling suggestions). Will those updates be coming to the #Librem5 soon, or is this something slated instead for the Crimson software release?

@kyle Towards this end, I recently used #tic80 for my oldest (a fantasy console). It supports a bunch of languages to write code with, but of those, I'd either go with Lua or Python.https://tic80.com/I write retro games as hobby myself, and I have found that a fantasy console like tic80 allows me to prototype out a game idea about 10x faster than using a modern game engine such as Godot.Hope this helps.
