    @RJDan Just to be clear, because so many people nominate developers, that were already nominated. This here is for nominating and not for voting?

    @sermountain I see many occurences of this kind of problem on the Github site, such as https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/2412 the reference in this post is on this forum and then it goes to a blog post (here: https://rubencarneiro.github.io/rubencarneiro.io//Volla-phone-Repair/) that links itself to a Mediatek flash tool that is reported to work. It's complicated, however I can't directly help you I have a Fairphone myself. Good luck.

    @danfro said in Smooth Edges (name pending) - Let's Fix the Bugs That Drives You Mad: @projectmoon I only know heliboard, but that requires you to download a proprietary file for swype to work. The implementation itself is opensource, but not that file. But thanks for the suggestions. Something to look into for sure. Yes, Heliboard uses Google's swipe library that was originally created for AOSP. Which unfortunately is proprietary. I think Florisboard also has a glide typing implementation, but I'm not sure how functional it actually is.

    What? I'm looking into a way of playing games that have no touch support. I was experimenting, and in the middle, well, you have this demake I have packaged for UT. It is called WWW and it's an open source low resolution remake of the popular game VVVVVV: [image: 1764101569690-ca5e0ec6-44c5-45ff-b62b-532529847689-imatge-resized.png] Plot Viridian, captain of the D.S.S. SoulEye, is having a nice day when suddenly the ship's navigational systems goes astray. He and his crew mates are violently thrown into a huge dimensional vortex and everything fades to black. When he awakes, everything around him seems strange. It's as if the world around him and himself became blurred, square-ish and kinda... pixelated. That's when he finds himself on a very familiar situation... Gameplay The game mechanic is the same as VVVVVV: you can walk around but cannot jump. Instead, you can flip gravity and fall upward to the ceiling (or downward to the floor if you're already on the ceiling). When you die (either by touching spikes or enemies), you go back to a nearby checkpoint. Controls Left and right to move. Change gravity with up, down or action buttons. Credits: WWW: by Alexandre Dantas (github) VVVVVV: buy Terry Cavanagh (buy his game here) Package and controls: CiberSheep

    @TotalSonic it seems there is at least a bug to fix before implementation of a setting: https://salsa.debian.org/ubports-team/lomiri/-/issues/54 With help of bounties it could occur sooner than later: https://os-sci.com/lomiri#Contribute

    @bekun Yeah that's the ideal functionality. On Android, that works fine, at least on Samsung phones. In UT, all touchscreens are mapped to the built-in display. I was talking about on the desktops. Gnome have the same issue while KDE Plasma handles it fine.
