  • What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?

  • Gnome too, btw 😉

  • EU OS: A Fedora-based distro 'for the public sector'

    Jump

  • But it's a good starting point. Better than inventing everything from the scratch.

  • Should me mobile apps, my bad 😂

  • Yes, they are mine. I guess the question is targeted if they are done on a mobile device. The screenshots are done on Fedora Silverblue Gnome on a Dell XPS 13 laptop developer version (~7 years old). But I also have the Librem 5.

    You can put the newer apps in a 'simulate phone screen' mode (it's still in development).

  • I know there is a lot of hate around.

    Nevertheless I find it a good example, because I think they have implemented the adaptivity between big and small screen sizes very well.

  • I think it's the other way round, when the amount of interesting SW is rising,the probability of good HW will be higher. And yes, as we can see, the SW can be developed independent of HW.

  • They are enabled to (also) run on phones. E.g. libadwaita makes it possible to write application which can adapt to the screen size and therefore run on big and small screens.

  • Mecha Comet is a modular Linux handheld coming soon to Kickstarter for $159 - Liliputing

  • If you get a phone and install PostmarketOS on it, you could also get pretty far on it, couldn't you?

  • Pidgin 3.0 Experimental 1 released

  • yes

    Initially Pidgin 3 supported both GTK+ 2 and 3 but shortly after Gary took over, GTK+ 2 support was dropped. A few years later, it was then decided we should just bite the bullet and move to GTK 4 instead, as GTK+ 3 was no longer being actively developed which meant we were just creating tech debt. As part of the GTK 4 migration we also pulled in Adwaita even though we’re not an official GNOME application.
