| ▲ | seba_dos1 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It's both; the one I mentioned is for system drivers, the one you're talking about is for running applications (which you can also do on a regular non-Halium GNU/Linux using e.g. Waydroid). | | |
| ▲ | mariusor 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm sure that if you tell Jolla about a relatively modern mobile SOC with mainline linux support, they'll look into it instead of relying on libhybris. | | |
| ▲ | seba_dos1 2 days ago | parent [-] | | They can rely on libhybris if they want, why should I care - I just object to calling that "a full-stack alternative", especially when alternatives do exist. | | |
| ▲ | mariusor 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Modern SOC alternatives for a phone that can be used as a daily driver? Please do tell... | | |
| ▲ | seba_dos1 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Modern full-stack alternatives exist. I've been daily driving a Librem 5 running a Debian derivative for years. | | |
| ▲ | mariusor a day ago | parent [-] | | That wasn't modern when they released it in 2020. Jolla chose a little more pragmatism for their hardware in the hope that they actually sell phones to other people than 100% open-source purists. I find it funny when dudes like you go all "well awkshwally" on them... | | |
| ▲ | Hackbraten a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I use my Librem 5 as a daily driver, and I’m certainly not an open source purist. What I do care about is that my phone isn’t going to run into obsolescence a few years down the road (due to hard kernel forks and YOLO’ed device drivers that are not going to be updated for newer kernels). | | |
| ▲ | mrbn100ful a day ago | parent [-] | | How is it nowadays ? I can't find recent demos of the phone, everything is a few years old on YouTube now, and I know the device is still in development. How usable the browser and camera are ? Can you get a full day of battery ? | | |
| ▲ | seba_dos1 21 hours ago | parent [-] | | I type this in a browser on the phone. Camera: https://social.librem.one/@dos/tagged/shotonlibrem5 Battery: I unplugged it from the charger 10 hours ago, it's currently at 55%. Typically it's up to 22 hours when suspended, up to 12 hours when idling without suspend and about 3-5 hours of active use depending on what you're doing. Could be better, but can be worked with. |

| ▲ | seba_dos1 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | It sure was, it's a 2019 design with a 2018 SoC - but you may want to read the comments you reply to again, as that's hardly the point. |
