      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.

        You’re absolutely right

        Personnaly the hardware is not the problem it’s the price of it

      Linux tablets? I have a lenovo tablet that now runs fedora, but the hardware is not meant for gaming. I think Legends of Lumia was the game that I played, but the sound was missing.

      I used to love Sailfish OS.

      I guess I still do, but the problem is that while they recently expanded amount of devices they support, for some of them the “support” is just not what you think. Eg. I got Xperia 10 V just for the SFOS, but even though on their main list the device is listed as supported, turns out that camera, Android support and fingerprint sensor, these don’t work. To be fair, this info was possible to find on their forums, and I did not have to pay for SFOS (they offer 6 month trial), so they have nothing to gain from communicating so badly, but it is what it is.

      So in case you want to try it, just really make sure you know to what extent your device is supported.

    I really wanted to try developing for these. But after flashing my old poco F1 with postmarket os, the phone died instead. Now I can’t justify buying a phone just for this.

    What makes these “mobile apps”? Are they special versions optimized for phones?

      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.

          e.g. Fractal can scale down to mobile:

            Are these your screenshots? If so, what hardware and OS are you running, out of curiosity?

              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.

    Why does the site looks like it’s affiliated with Gnome?
