I only had a problem with it once, but having no experience with it really confused me.

I was mounting a directory to a docker container and i kept getting permission errors. The errors were not descriptive at all and really confused me as i already had sudo privileges and wasn’t expecting any problems with permission.

Pinephone looks great and the keyboard case seems very ergonomic. Fo you use it as your daily driver?

How do you install utilities like kubectl and azure CLI on Android?

I keep saying the same about the iPhone but they keep making new ones

With 640x480 screen i doubt it’ll be used for web browsing, unless you use lynx. Firefox in a pinch, but my guess is this will appeal mostly to Linux terminal users.

Full-size usb, Ethernet and keyboard mean you can use it as a Linux computer, install arbitrary debian packages, run shell scripts, python scripts, and you don’t need any dongles. This is the differential factor. You can’t do the same on a smartphone, and it’s not supposed to be a smartphone. Why would you need a separate sim card when you can simply tether Internet from your phone?

I get that this device isn’t for you, but there are people who don’t want to write and maintain apps through apps stores and simply want to copy simple scripts into a small device they can have with them. It’s a niche market and good for them for trying to fill that niche.

I wonder what they use for charging port if not usb c…

Not for me, i just checked again. I can drag what appears to be a thumbnail and it doesn’t behave like a window so i can’t snap it to the side or the grid, and the window is still there so even if there are no other tabs in that window i can’t move the tab to merge with a window below as it’s covered by the first window.

I know I’m a tab juggler 🤹‍♂️

Last i checked on Fedora (40) it didn’t work for me. Firefox also had worse touchscreen support.

I like Firefox as it performs better and uses less resources, the main friction for me would be moving all the passwords from google password manager. I’d also like to keep them in sync with chrome as I’ll still get probably use chrome on other devices, including android.

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I’m no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can’t do it in one motion.

It’s the exposure to those languages that reassures Python developers that Python is superior.

Take nodejs for example. you write js on the backend, js on the front end and you’re convinced that js is all you’ll ever need.

If you’re planning to get the 3rd gen x1 yoga, don’t. I had to disable thunderbolt ports in BIOS to get it to sleep correctly. Otherwise touch screen would not work after wake. And stylus doesn’t work correctly with Wayland. It stops working after few seconds of use.

I use ThinkPad X1 yoga with Fedora 40 (Gnome)

1. Enable fractional scaling and install Display scale switcher gnome extension - makes it easier to increase scaling when in tablet mode for easier touch input.
2. logging in on a touchscreen can be a pain, in particular entering the password with on-screen keyboard. Special characters and numbers are not shown by default. On windows you have the option to use pin instead with a numeric keyboard. If you have a fingerprint reader compatible with linux that might work for login (mine doesn’t).
3. Linux is very terminal-oriented, but Gnome terminal is unusable on a tochscreen. never mind typing commands - try scrolling long outputs - you can’t scroll with touchscreen, it will just start selecting text (i dont remember how this works in Windows)
4. Google chrome supports gestures, so you can swipe left/right on the page to navigate back/forward. This does not with Firefox. Chrome also has a more touchscreen-friendly UI you can enable in chrome://flags/#top-chrome-touch-ui (Touch UI layout) although I haven’t noticed a significant difference.

• while you’re messing with google flags you may want to change Preferred Ozone platform to Wayland - this fixed blurry scaling for me

One annoying thing though is you can’t scroll terminal on a touchscreen, it’ll just start selecting text. Maybe there’s a non default terminal with touch support.

Dash to panel seems to work fine. The only problem i had with gnome on two screens was when they had different scaling.

Why single zero though? Why not 24.002? With single 0 you will still encounter sorting issue past version 24.99 (if there was one).

I could but then i can’t simply copy the “clone” url from the projects page without editing it.

I think the best solution for me may be to have a separate user account in the OS for work and personal projects. That way i can just log off at the end of the day and use personal account for personal stuff.

It’s a blessing and a curse. I have two gitlab accounts on the same server - private and work. I can’t use the same key for both as the key is used to distinguish git users, and git doesn’t make it easy to select which key you want to use to pull or clone particular repo.
