  1. So I'm a pretty big fan of my new phone so far. #FuriOS wouldn't be my first choice of Linux Mobile operating systems, but it's fine. I would prefer #PlasmaMobile to #Phosh, but Phosh is also fine ( I prefer a clean desktop to an always present app list; always present app lists render wallpaper pointless) .

    All that said… I miss my #Android keyboard. The predictive text was better, it auto-capitalized the start of sentences, it auto capitalized the word "i" and previously entered proper nouns, and while the autocorrect was sometimes annoying , it turns out that not having it is worse. For this Owlbear it is, at least.

    Also, it auto-spaces after punctuation, which The Owlbear is having trouble getting used to and seems like a really stupid feature for a keyboard intended to be used ( at least sometimes) in a terminal. Not auto-capitalizing letters makes sense for a terminal keyboard, but auto spacing after punctuation ( including parentheses ) doesn't.

    So the keeb isn't great for either.

  6. Just released NomNomus Version 0.2.0 . The LinuxPhone Food Tracker now has Favorite Recipes to store often consumed or self-made items in a local cache. Also the logo suppose to be a fruit not a anus. Thank you @doggestman for clarification.

  12. @david_bardos Interesting article, and even more interesting website design!

    One thing to note is that most people do not (and will not, ever) install an OS; they simply buy a device and Windows, macOS, Android, iOS come preinstalled. You could say they chose their OS by choosing the device.

    In the same fashion, there are mobile Linux OSes, e.g. #PureOS and #FuriOS that just come preinstalled for users on devices: #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, #FLX1S+

    I think it's this category of OSes that has the higher promise of adoption by normal non-technical folks.
