At first I thought the presenter had drank too much of the Purism Kool-Aid. It seemed he was equating Linux Phones with the Librem 5. So I was pleasantly surprised to see he had also tried other Linux offerings out there, and that he had such positive things to say about them. His way of presenting is not my cup of tea, but all in all I feel it was a fair introduction for people who are new to the subject, but unlikely to try it out for themselves.

@lduboeuf thx!

@AppLee said in swipe to go back: Maybe a poll can be done if other back your ideas In my opinion polls can raise false expectations. Unless the community is being consulted on a concrete choice with concrete implementation plans, it might be best not to hold them.

I recently tried https://www.openmittsu.de/ on my Destop PC. It works fine and is qt based. The UI is definitly not suitable for mobile use, but it could be a good start for making a UT Threema app. Contrary to the Threema Web app it is stand alone, but you need the Android app once to create the ID, afterwards no need for it anymore.

@arubislander said in the future of the UI: Even in the real world, I would be forced to do all the things you mentioned for myself if there was no one else to do them for me. Indeed. It's amazing how some people think that without corporations forcing us to buy products for convenience, we wouldn't be able to survive, despite humans having done so for many thousands of years prior to the industrial revolution.

Posteo calendar works now. Thx! I dont know why it didnt work before. @Loops said in Some newbie questions: Dash etc: You can download Ubutnu Touch Tweak Tool (UTTT) from the open store and mess around with all kinds of settings etc. with that app. Ok. Thx. I will try that. @Loops said in Some newbie questions: Roadmap: There was one but I think they felt it was giving false hope to people that saw it if the features on there were not implemented in time so it was removed, I think you will now only get a next OTA milestone. I think thats a bit sad. I didnt care much about the time schedule. Its ready when its ready, but this way you always knew what is coming. @dobey said in Some newbie questions: Scopes will be going away when new Mir/Unity8 can be included. It's replaced by the app drawer which slides out from the launcher, and is semi-transparent. Scopes are going? Okay. I didnt know that. By the way who develops unity further? Only UBports? @dobey said in Some newbie questions: When the app is running, open the launcher panel, and long press (or right click) on the app's icon, then choose "Pin to Launcher" in the popup menu. @dobey said in Some newbie questions: Anbox support will be included by default when it's ready (this means there will be a one-click install to download the image, and the kernel requirements will be enabled by default). Okay, sounds good to me. @dobey said in Some newbie questions: There's no alternate keyboards, but you can enable layouts from other languages in settings. I know that. The english space bar is a little wider still I gladly would get rid of those ".com" keys I dont need. Thank you, guys.
