Maybe attaching a phone to monitor to use it as a GNU/Linux computer? Modern smartphones are powerful.

Also I saw that many people use Termux to emulate some PC games, maybe with this tech it will be easier?

It’s not a good value to buy and you need a good GNU/Linux knowledge to use it. But it’s quite an interesting device, especially with the keyboard addon.

Yes, I would like to see more phones like this. At the moment the only modern options are PinePhone Pro + the keyboard add-on and F(x)tec Pro1 X.

Hm… Good point.

One does not exclude the other. You can have a fancy name and a semantic versioning.

Thanks! I also love The Sims series.

Yes. My current plan is to create a minimal game loop first: basic building mode, simple AI and limited character customization. And then extend, improve and experiment with mechanics.

The game will also have optional multiplayer, similar to this mod for the Sims 4. I’m the author of relatively popular networking library for the game engine I use :)

Yeah, if you need a camera, then I would highly recommend to stick with Android for now :)

I use Arch Linux ARM (with Danct repos).

Camera works and sometimes broken after suspend, but I don’t use it. Audio on calls sometimes buggy. But megi resolved call issues, I updated today. Battery life is poor unless you use a keyboard. Battery indicator displays combined percentage which isn’t ideal.

I daily drive PinePhone Pro with the Pine keyboard to extend battery life. The experience is far from Android, but it’s usable.

Of course! I was just joking.

Can’t wait to review PRs from my Mastodon or Lemmy account 😁

Are there plans for it? Sounds awesome!

Why did half the world decide SMS needed to be replaced with a proprietary app

SMS is even worse in terms of openness. You won’t find a modem that runs open source baseband firmware. It’s because the radios are subject to several regulations which means customers can’t be able to modify that firmware.

Check just check the wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/SHIFT_SHIFT6mq_(shift-axolotl) No one knows how future devices will perform.

True. I use the keyboard add-on because of it.

Ah, right, forgot about it!

You need a compatible phone depending on the distro. There are Mobian, PostmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch and ArchLinux Arm with Danct12 repos and others.

Right now the most supported phones are PinePhone and PinePhone Pro. Under “supported” I mean hardware support.

I have both. GNU/Linux on phones is not as polished and convenient as Android, but usable. I daily drive Pro model.

Awesome, can’t wait to try it out!

Thanks!

Yes, I suspect that there is one frame delay somewhere, need to debug…

It’s fast because it’s not really a boolean operation in 3D. I treat my walls and windows/doors as 2D planes and cut out the holes in 2D. It’s much cheaper. And then I convert the coordinates into 3D.
