I’m glad you are doing this. Pinephone and Librem 5 days are surely numbered, the hardware is just too outdated. My Librem 5 is also starting to fail, some times i can’t even get it to power on without restarting several times. I will never use Android or iOS, they are just too exploitative and untrustworthy, so it’s a relief everyone isn’t completely abandoning the idea of a free libre phone.

When i think of Android i don’t think of it as part of the gnu/linux ecosystem, but a heavily modified linux kernel turned against the user.

The problem with Android is it is very invasive and in my opinion untrustworthy. How many of these Android OS’s from various vendors are not kept up to date, with unpatched vulnerabilities because they dump support to force upgrade their customers to the next model, when your phone should still be functionally viable. How many apps in the Android ecosystem are just info vacuums? It’s a very predatory ecosystem and i would prefer a libre solution to these scumbag predatory corporations. It blows my mind how people are so numb to the abuses of these companies, they won’t even consider alternatives. Iphones aren’t a viable alternative either unless you’re into joining abusive cults. I have both a Pinephone and a Librem 5, and they work fine if you don’t mind horrible battery life, i just wish we had more alternatives and I’ll put my money towards that endeavor.

I’m running Pop on my living room pc and it’s fine, looking forward to Cosmic when it arrives. Also have Linux Mint cinnamon on my bedroom pc. Been thinking of going back to Arch, but i’m lazy so i’ll stick with what i have unless i get annoyed enough to switch.

Windows is not ready for the desktop.

They funny thing about ubuntu touch, it’s harder to install it to a pinephone than it is to a google phone.

They prefer the term “little planets”.

I feel for them because i switch games all the time on my deck, even with a 1tb sdcard on top of the 512gb, you have to remove games and install games all the time. I’m not going to feel guilty about this, they are my games, i paid for them and will install and uninstall as i see fit. Not out of malice, but because this is expected behavior. I imagine there are going to be a lot of lawsuits over this, and more than a few bankruptcies. They also can’t remove games you’ve already paid for, so this is going to get interesting.

This is what i use as well.

Runs fine on 5700xt as well medium settings, higher settings starts hitting FPS a bit hard.

Framerate limit 45, refresh 45, scaling filter FSR, FSR sharpness 5. In game settings set to low, upscaling set to fsr2. I’m no settings expert, seems to work for me. Will have to give the mod a try to see if it can do better.

Not yet, will do though.

I have it running on deck and it’s not that bad really, locked in at 45fps, though it does dip heavily in busy places. Runs much better on my main amd rig though.

All these corporations looking to kill off their own relevance. They all in the same death cult or something?

Corporate poopification.

That’s why you are supposed to check the pkgbuild before installing anything from the aur.

MAONO AU-PM421. Works otb no muss no fuss.

I joined the metaverse via mastodon four years ago and lemmy 2 years. Guess that makes me a fucking hipster, lol. Though i’ll admit since the reddit fiasco i dumped reddit completely and made /kbin my home and been using the fediverse quite a lot more.

I have a librem 5, i use it to make/receive calls and it seems to work fine, though for anything else it is too anemic. Also eats through the battery like crazy, even shut down, it slowly drains.
