Apple ecosystem is overrated, welcome to the gnome ecosystem 🤓 (this is mostly a demo and you should not rely on these in a daily basis in a production environment)

@panpantepan If only my mobile data (& wifi) experience was stable and Pipewire wasn't quiet as hell, then I could probably use linux on mobile, for now I have to stick with android 😔

@panpantepan OnePlus 6, to be fair though I haven't tried really using it in a while (about a month or so)

@panpantepan wait... now I'm wondering something...

It'd love to see someone do a video/blog on "gnome tablet vs android tablet". Genuinely curious if the Gnome experience is better (cause tablet android apps often suck)

Pan

@thibaultmol hmm, it is up to your needs, and if you are using gnome with mobile patches, im sure that i will make something like that in the future!

DELETED

@thibaultmol @panpantepan maybe too soon to do this kind of test it would be unfair to gnome, android and ios had nearly a decade to make their system.

Make a direct comparison would only show (normal) weakness due to gnome mobile being young

@panpantepan @thibaultmol Thanks it would pain me to see gnome being unfairly treated when it's one of the linux system who have the most chance to one day reach public device :)

To be fair... I've used a Nokia N900 with Maemo around 2010-ish which was arguably a predecessor of GNOME mobile.

@reinouts @thibaultmol @panpantepan Yes but in my eye gnome really starting to come back in the game when GTK4 + Libadaita where released.

Before gnome did not had thing like circle etc that make now the ecosystem of gnome.

it’s why i say it's « new » or « recent »

@panpantepan That looks great (coming from an iOS user, I honestly would love to use Gnome mobile but haven’t the time nor the phone to install it to).

DELETED

@panpantepan @gnome When it's true that gnome have made (Colosal) improvement over the year i would avoid to say thing like that until it's true and actually on par with apple, what would happen if someone take you seriously try ans finish disapointed and publicise how bad his test was ?

For example in your video i've seen 10 problem (witch is normal since it's a recent system and the dev are surly aware of it and work to fix it).

Seeing GNOME on mobile devices always makes me so hopeful about the future ☺️

btw, unlocking this tablet is such a painful experience, as you will need to have an one month old xiaomi account, then use a windows pc to use their official app, and wait for a week or two weeks, but, the final result it's very nice to use :DD

@panpantepan damn you made me powerup the pinephone again

@panpantepan I haven't tried #postmarketos on a tablet yet but have done on a phone - is that Tuba you're running for fedi?

SudoVanilla

@panpantepan Now getting this to run on a OnePlus Tab would be great....and maybe a OnePlus 11 too and I'll be happy!

Robot

@panpantepan does the clock have to be on the left on the tablet or can it be centered like normal gnome?

Pan

@robot that's something i don't really know, when i installed gnome mobile the clock was on the left, hmm, i would need to check that

petsoi

@panpantepan Really nice!! Thanks for sharing. Can you tell which devices have been used?

Pan

@petsoi oneplus 6t (phone), xiaomi pad 5 (tablet)

Amy (เอมี่) :utahraptor: :trans_verified:

@panpantepan@ohai.social I have this tablet too (Mi pad 5) once it goes EOL I'd wanna get GNOME in it (though idk if it will support stylus and whether or not the hardware support will get better by then (it's already pretty good))

m3ss3dupbytes

@panpantepan Wow, it' s really cool!
Just some questions:
1. what tablet model did you install Linux on? Is it Fedora?
2. is screen rotation working correctly?
Thanks in advance.

Pan

@m3ss3dupbytes is the xiaomi pad 5, yes, it is fedora!

@panpantepan it has to be said that you shouldn't rely on apple devices on a daily basis or in production

@panpantepan my eyes hurt for all the wasted space. It it were a screenshot, It'd color it red, but it's a video, so just believe it'd be a giant flying red mess with a bit of content here and there

dig out a Nokia N900 from your drawer for reference. we still cannot match the 2009
