        @keneda Well, yes, GPU is used in Linux by browsers too, at least for rendering acceleration. Using hardware decoding if available, in Linux, has always been trickier because it's not something drivers tend to provide, for example, and AFAIK GStreamer and other things don't have decent detection or handling of such things.

          @dobey I have extensively used ffmpeg for livestreaming, and with the correct flags, you can force hardware decoding on some architectures, and it drastically decreases cpu usage

            @moem sure that can be done......by someone from the community šŸ˜› most contributors have their hands full hehe. as said the source for the docs is on github; anyone can contribute more to the docs from there šŸ˜‰ it's made out of mostly markdown files iirc so it shouldn't be too diffy to get into

              No need to šŸ˜› at me, that is exactly what I had in mind. The next time someone comes up and says 'I want to help, what can I do?' this is one of the things we can point them towards. It's nice because there is no coding experience needed.

                  @dobey in portugal, MMS costs 30 cents.

                  not being able to use MMS is a bonus for me.

                  and pulsesms can do groups without MMS. 😘

                    i wished all phones would run linux instead of f******google android.

                    and global 2g + 3g would be free, accessible everywhere. i don't need 4g or any higher.

                    phone calls and MMS should obviously be free as well, world wide. charge premium for voice quality, video, etc.

                    more to the topic, i wished that smartphones could be turned into "feature" phones, with:

                    • last longing battery
                    • an emergency physical button to call pre defined contacts, including cell tower emergency
                    • 12cm (4 inches) screen at most
                    • light and small enough that it wouldn't break when falling

                    i would keep a 23cm screen one as a backup phone + powerbank ultrabook with screen projection on the other pocket, with the exact same os, everything synced... but only because i work with tech.

                    everyone would have 2 phones.

                        to me, a much better way to handle this is making lists of words per user. everyone can choose their own filters, and how to handle their sensitivity.

                        and thanks for the friendly warning!

                          @cregox in fact, perhaps it would be a great extension for ubports... filter words everywhere!

                          i would certainly use it.

                          replace google for g*****. 🤣

                            I'd like to see a different windowing system activated when docked so legacy applications will work natively in desktop mode.

                            I'd like to have a full ports (on the app store) of these apps and utilities
                            Nautilus or nemo
                            Libreoffice
                            Openoffice
                            Retroarch
                            Gens
                            Pico-8
                            Usbutlils
                            Steam
                            Wine
                            Flash
                            Java
                            Anbox
                            Compiz fusion or something similar
                            Launch bar editor (to change size and location of the bar icons and text.) //this isnt android we want more customuzation capabilities.//

                            I'd like someone to build a gui gps calibration wizard with manual location input.

                            I'd like an app that delivers me a cold beer/coffee per button click with beer/coffee level indicator (this should be a built in feature)

                            Long press for left click.

                            Toggle switch for long press in browser to turn off edit fuctions (copy, paste, etc) this makes an issue of a menu displaying when using browser based games that require long presses.

                                A nice feature I think, would be automatic toggling between silent mode and sound at specified times. Typically, it would be great if the phone went into silent mode when I start putting the kids to bed in the evening, and stayed silent until I got up in the morning, without having to remember to flip that switch every day! šŸ˜€

                                      Also I wonder if widgets were possible, e. g. the clock app to show current time at the desktop and the weather app its information, too.

                                        For now you can use "Home" app from @pavelprosto in the open store.

                                          I think the UT developers are doing such a great job, that I almost feel ashamed by listing anything.

                                              There are wishes for a long long time.

                                              The primary focus is to maintain the OS.
                                              Another focus point should be recruting (in all the possible ways) more developers to create new features.
                                              More developers is paramount to add new features.
