The software for linux phones is pretty much there. Gnome and KDE mobile are surprisingly capable. There’s built in apps for every basic thing you’d need on a phone like a dialer, SMS app, camera, etc. plus all the normal apps adapted to work with mobile like the calculator and maps apps.

The only real limitation is with the hardware. I have no idea why all new linux phones launch with specs from a decade ago. You can get a better experience by flashing ported Postmarket OS to an Android phone like the Nothing phone or a OnePlus 6t.

It shouldn’t be like that, no idea why it’s impossible to just have a linux phone with decent specs and a good camera on par with modern flagships.

Consumers: “We don’t want AI data centers anywhere near our homes!”

Nvidia: “Ohhhh, you want them as close to your homes as physically possible?”

How is it able to get the latitude and longitude of the devices? As far as I’m aware, the bluetooth spec doesn’t provide coordinates as part of its metadata. And you’d need some kind of triangulation method otherwise. I’m certainly not able to get the coordinates of my bluetooth devices. Wish I could, would make finding the remote a lot easier.

I’m highly suspicious that this entire project and even these responses are all AI-generated. Something about the grammar and use of em dashes that really seems fishy to me. And in their first (almost identical) post to this one, someone said that hiding the source code could make people suspicious it’s been authored by AI, and OP responded “what counts as ‘AI-authored’ to you?”. Veeeery sus

I use Jellyfin along with the iOS client Manet. It’s not the best UI for CarPlay, but it gets the job done.

Not sure about an answer to your question, but to clarify, are you trying by to do something similar to Wolf?

I think it actually uses GStreamer as a backend which is a bit unfortunate because HDR support is either nonexistent or hit or miss with GStreamer at the moment. I’ve also had worse performance with GST over MPV, but most videos and codecs are fine. It certainly integrates better with the GNOME environment which may have been a driving factor in the decision to use it over MPV.

It’s not blurred, but the UI for Showtime (GNOME Video Player) looks pretty similar with the edge to edge video playback and transparent controls overlay: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime

Pretty much any distro will work for gaming these days. Really up to personal preference. I use Arch but have heard good things about Pop!_OS.

Very well said. Thank you very much for your help. I wouldn’t have known to check the ownership issues or if GDM were properly running Wayland were it not for your help. I’ll reach out to the GNOME devs on the relevant repositories and see if they might be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time and expertise.

So, for context, I have an HDMI dummy plug that is disabled most of the time, but enabled through command-line to use as a virtual display for game streaming with Sunshine.

In GNOME settings, the display is disabled, and that works just fine. I can enable/disable it at will whenever I want to stream games using the new gdctl utility added in GNOME 48.

I want this “monitor” to be disabled in GDM as well since it keeps trying to use the dummy plug as the default display and I can’t see any of the UI elements and have to type my password in blindly. I’ve copied over my monitor config from /home/user/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml as per the Arch Wiki’s recommendations, but when I log out/reboot, nothing changes on GDM. It still tries to show the password entry UI on the dummy plug and my actual display just shows a gray screen.

I know the configs are different for X11 and wayland, but both GDM and GNOME are running under wayland, so that shouldn’t be the issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

I use Arch btw.
