It’s made in collaboration with Framework.

Thank you 🤗 I hope not too many people see us as obscure though…

It definitely makes it less interesting and feels the opposite of what Framework wants to do. I hope future models will be as replaceable and upgradable as their x86_64 machines.

Have you actually read the article? It mostly lists problems and reasons not to get a Tuxedo laptop. I’d advise to go for a Framework machine instead, they actually have good Linux support and do not require custom software written in Electron…

No, Lomiri. It is a succesor of Unity

Ubuntu Touch uses Lomiri (a successor of Unity), not GNOME.

Correction, hi postmarketOS dev here, we are using whatever the user wants. We ship Phosh, GNOME Mobile, Plasman Mobile, SXMO, Lomiri. We don’t have just one interface.

Or Matrix.

You don’t have to configure KDE you know. You can just keep the defaults like you’re probably doing with GNOME.

It does!

You’re right, you can’t run the Android (or iOS app) twice. If you want a second device running WhatsApp you’ll need the web app.

I definitely hope so, so far it’s looking promising!

I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run.

Well, no. “In the long run” this gets packaged by distributions so you don’t have to compile anything. Right now it’s available for Alpine Linux and there is an AUR package for Arch.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?

There is a Flatpak (no c in that name!) base app available, and Newpipe has been packaged with that as a Flatpak, see https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe Ideally we get more stuff packaged up once more works but I don’t think it’s feasible to repackage everything out there so for a lot of applications you’ll just have to have a locally installed ATL outside of Flatpak.

You were responding to a comment talking about Ubuntu Touch. You then talking about “we” without any explaining of who you meant made me assume you meant Ubuntu Touch users.

The OrganicMaps for “regular” Linux is very different from the Android app though. Completely different UI tech (Qt vs native Android widgets) and lacks important things like turn-by-turn navigation.

It translates the Android API to Linux desktop-compatible calls, just like Wine does for Windows apps.

This is not about Newpipe itself but more that fact that this is an Android app ran on desktop Linux, without any containers like Waydroid does. This is like Wine, but for Android apps.

Ubuntu Touch can’t use GTK? Why not?

Well yes, it’s still early days and very much WIP. But the fact it works at all is amazing and shows what can be done with more work.
