Postmarketos running smoothly with gnome on oneplus 6t

I haven't figured out a way to run .appimage apps yet, which means I can't get Grayjay or Filen (cloud storage sync) to work. Any tips would be much appreciated!

@TheLastOfHisName At first I tried to run the v24.12 phosh image, and was a bit underwhelmed to be honest - but this (the edge gnome-mobile image) was a LOT better and smoother!

@stovis waw that seemed like a pretty whole experience. I was on the edge of my seat seeing 0ad on the home menu

@onelikeandidie check out my other comment. the UI elements are too big and wonky on mobile, but you can open it and the sound works, etc!

@stovis how did you record the screen?

@Lioh With the built in gnome-screen recording tool from the top menu, works the same way as it does on desktop!

@stovis ah, great, thanks. I am still looking for a way to cast the entire screen to the computer like scrcpy on Android.

@Lioh OBS does open and seems to work, but the app is not exactly mobile first😄

@stovis Is this mainline GNOME or the "mobile" fork?

@cidra this is the gnome-mobile edge image from pmos

@stovis does 0ad actually run on that?

@jeffmcneill Hard to play atm because the UI elements are too big, but you can open it, yeah

@stovis I saw that video you put up of Oad play. Looks great!

@stovis Is there a problem with calls? Do both SIM cards work?

@ganch Haven't tried it yet, I'll write here when I give it a go

@sudoedit The script says the installation was successful, but the app doesn't show up in the gnome-app-menu. Thanks anyways, was worth a try!

@stovis Can I ask what distro you’re using? If I get a minute I’ll see if I can get a vm running update the script.

Also I *think* you could double click the appimage in ~/Applications at this point and it would work… but yeah not showing up in the menu is a pain in the butt…

@sudoedit It's PostmarketOS, which is based on Alpine Linux. I don't consider myself a power user, but I have tried making it an executable and running it, with no luck 🤷‍♂️

@stovis I will give it a shot, only because I’ve never used an Alpine based distro.. but I highly suspect that the glibc vs musl thing with Alpine is the main culprit. Could be a day or two but I’ll reach out if I have any luck.

@sudoedit Best of luck, really appreciate the effort!

@stovis this is shaping up really nicely! Really impressive!

@chriswood It really is! Kudos to all the contributors to the project👏

@stovis i really dislike how open apps are managed. i wish it was ios-like

@pedka It doesn't bother me much, but I agree it's not optimal. Will be interesting to try the different interfaces going forward - plasma, phosh, gnome, sxmo, etc. I even read somewhere that someone had experimented with cosmic!

@stovis even cosmic? that's interesting

@stovis 0 A.D. on mobile? Is it working with landscape? 🤔

Means there is a chance that later all #Linux games can be played on Android devices 🤩

@stovis Hei, wow, så kult å finne en til norsk Gnome-er! :D @bragefuglseth

Hurra for Postmarket! Når jeg bare klarer å finne en fornuftig måte å gå installert en av-Googlifisert Android på min FP5 så skal jeg prøve å teste Postmarket på min FP4!

@forteller @bragefuglseth Hehe, likewise! Aner jo ikke hvor mange av oss som finnes, det kunne ha vært artig å finne ut.

Og ja, skål for postmarketos, er imponert over jobben som gjøres der!
