More Apps Please!!

@pparent good point. I wonder how that is arranged.
-
@gpatel-fr oh thats great, did you need to config bindmounts or did it just work?
as for xdg desktop portal filechooser backend it won't be to hard to implement some elements but its in the backburner until i get the infurstructure for it right
also for keyboard thats an easy fix you need to include a cache file look to ufirefox/uwolf for example on how to get gtk apps to use maliit

@tigermoth Merezhyvo Browser is built on top of Chromium and is fully convergent

no bindmounts necessary; flatpak --user does not use any service.
I did some fiddling at some point with the (local) mime configuration but I am not sure it was needed, it was when I was trying to make it work using the extracted debian packages, it was really difficult and using nix solved it.
I have tried mostly Kde apps, they need all
export QT_FONT_DPI=280
and some
export GALLIUM_DRIVER=d3d12
To test some apps, the initial dialog boxes are the most annoying since there is no keyboard.
The thing that stunned me was with Okular (the Pdf viewer) when I realized that I could zoom by pinching the screen, while it was the desktop version ! that's why I am most interested in Kde apps, they are more mobile oriented because of Plasma mobile I think.

I thought first of compliing a Ubuntu touch driver for each Kde pack but it's not obvious to learn to compile various stuff for UT, especially at things that no one other than a core dev would touch. It would be a cleaner fix though

Honestly I don't know why maliit/inputcontext-gtk is not included by default in the system, so that it does not have to be included in the apps. Although the problem is that this module has some bugs and I had to make some very hacky patches to get it to work properly with SignalUT and Min Browser (spoiler: and soon Rocket.Chat ).
But hopefully this won't be necessary to use this module when we can switch to Wayland with Mir2.x .

@kugiigi Taking quite a while mate.
-
@Moem You're right. My bad

@Moem lol

@pparent Thanks! I hope things will get better faster!

@ChromiumOS-Guy Thanks. I will try soon.
