@aren
also breaking my head around this..
we have to stop thinking the android/ios way and open ourself to a more elegant solution for gesture/usability (#sxmo volume menu goes into the right direction).

@EdenIsASpood
similar issues on android:
e.g. while filling out a form and then wanting to open the menu to check date and time, it refreshes the browser instead and everything is gone... also the browser back/forward gestures can be very very annoying on some websites and apps..

@mikro2nd @shom
@PINE64
thank you so much for this video (and posting on peertube)!
makes me really thinking of getting a #PineNote instead of a laptop...

could you show us how syntax highlighting looks like for coding on this greyscale screen, for exmple opening some code with micro editor?

of course i'd love to see #postmarketos with #sxmo running on it, but maybe this will become a winter task for me 😅

there or other nice touchscreen keyboards to use, see here:

If you always wanted to run a tiling window manager on your smartphone, give Sxmo a try.

They just added a nice getting started guide to nicely illustrate how gestures are used to open the menu, bring up and close the keyboard, switch between workspaces and more:

Great work @pocketvj and Sxmo team!

Just a reminder about the meetup in Christchurch, New Zealand on February 26.
The topic is Linux Mobile and I (Dan) will bring 4 devices:

#OnePlus6
- OS: #postmarketOS | Environment: #plasmamobile

#PinephonePro
- OS: postmarketOS | Environment: #gnomemobile
- OS on SD card: #Mobian | Environment: #phosh

#Pinephone (braveheart + upgraded motherboard)
- OS: #Archlinux | Environment: #sxmo

Pinephone (braveheart)
- OS/Environment: #UbuntuTouch

1/2

@benjaminedwardwebb I have a Pinephone (but I use it sporadically not as the daily driver) the only actually usable OS was #sxmo . You need some time to memorize gestures, but then experience is quite smooth. I never used a "Pro" model – there might be some hiccups.

@T_X Also the bet i made 5y ago is won: how disappointing it seemed at first, it is the power of the communities, the cleverness of the free/libre software developpers and users, and the personal work on tweaking and tinkering that made it over time get way better: more performance, adequation to my own needs, battery life even!

I composed an environment based on the free/libre modem "distro" github.com/the-modem-distro/pi, #postmarketOS edge, #sxmo and mostly TUI tools: #tut #aerc #gomuks #links -g
