#lollypop — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

I'm still in the process of moving more of my applications back to my laptop.

This article helped a lot to gather a list of Linux desktop music players: https://crescentro.se/posts/linux-music-players-2026/

The two contenders I settled on are Lollypop and Elisa.

Currently I'm leaning more in the direction of #Lollypop because I like the design a bit better and the performance is better.

Elisa would be great because it is a KDE application but it just feels very laggy.

All the other applications went out of window because they either didn't match my taste (I like to see the covers or photos of the artist when browsing) or the weren't able to shuffle albums.

I like when #Kojak picks a #lollypop instead if a #cigarette. Put this lollypop out some place.

@carlos_silva_pe #Lollypop is for me the BEST music player for Linux !! I use it everyday!
I also started to support the developer behind Lollypop (@gnumdk).

About Rhythmbox: I'm using Debian, and I had no problem to uninstall Rhythmbox : it did not break GNOME at all... 🤷🏼

Anyway, enjoy your music on Lollypop!

I have this odd issue with my laptop where whenever I play music using "traditional" apps like #Lollypop, #Pragha, #StrawberryPlayer, #Rythmbox, #QuodLibet or #Exaile, it pauses at random times for a few seconds, like if the music is buffering or something.

Interestingly, it doesn't happen with #mpd, #Monophony or through #Firefox. And it has happened with every distro I used with this laptop (#Fedora, #Debian, #EndeavourOS).

I suspect is related to #pipewire-pulse, but I'm not sure.

I like #Lollypop for managing my music on #GNOME, but for the love of $deity, it is slow af when syncing with my phone via USB and using #MTP. If I make a small change in one of my playlists, it seems to sync the whole content of the phone again, not just that one playlist.

Sadly, there isn't another app with that feature. Maybe #Cantata, but I haven't tried it yet. And #StrawberryPlayer is not an option, it's even worse.

By the way, the music player I'm using now is #Lollypop, which lets you also stream music and get album metadata from places like Jamendo and #YouTube 🍭

Here's me checking out the Fediverse's very own @bluenagoon! If you want to support them rather than just listen, check their profile for ways (and you'll get to be able to use #Amberol from the other screenshots or other music players rather than just #Lollypop 😉️)

Two years ago, Lollypop 2 was looking like this. The main idea is being able to browse multiple genres, multiple artists at same time. The tag bar allows to remove any tag (genre, artist) at any time.

I plan to add this back to current Lollypop 2 code.

experimenting with switching music players from #quodlibet to #lollypop

so far lollypop negatives:

- took 20 minutes to index my music collection, with no progress bar and no visible music until it was done indexing; was on the verge of declaring it unusably broken when I thought to run it with --debug from the terminal (which provided an ersatz progress bar)

- no high-level list views as far as I can tell

- no metadata editor as far as I can tell

- inscrutable UI leading me to have to write "as far as I can tell" in the previous two bullet points

- unreliable search (e.g. typing "Warren" brings up Warren Zevon but typing "Warren Zevon" brings up nothing)

and positives:

+ starts instantly now that the indexing is done

+ has not yet played loud static at me instead of the music

The #librem11 is great so far, I've been giving #pureos a shot since it is #purism flagship distro -- there are things that I think need improvement -- like (a) some of the pureos apps are not as good as their #flatpak counterparts -- like for example flathub has #geany 2.0 while pureos is still 1.38 0 -- or (b) the native `gnome-calculator` app for some reason doesn't respect "Dark Theme" mode in #phosh -- same with #gedit -- the flatpak version needs to be installed by console (same with #epiphany).

I'm writing this from #tuba and i much prefer it to android #fediverse apps. #parabolic #xournal++ #gnome-maps #libreoffice #krita #gimp #discord #gimp #krita #mypaint all seem to be working just fine.

Having had no prior experience with #tablet sized devices with a keyboard, it wasn't obvious to me how the magnetic cover snaps to the back of the tablet in a λ kind of shape.

Contact sync with #nextcloud works as expected, and #geary email seems like a good fit for this size device, though I typically prefer #thunderbird -- I'm going to give that a try later.

#chatty seems clogged up when I try to login to my #matrix -- though I had a lot of rooms and person to person chats. I am thinking of installing the #flatpak version to see if that fixes it, but then that would seem odd to not use pureos version. It sometimes shows my rooms and contacts double in the left sidebar. Though I have been impressed when using my #librem5 and #postmarketos version of the app as I am new to it. It's a bit rough but seems to have come a long way.

Overall the device is pretty snappy, I have 6 apps open as I write this and it is doing just fine.

#cheese takes photos and videos just fine. I tried to get the #gnome "snapshot" "camera" app running but it doesn't automatically detect the cameras. I am not sure if this is because it is a flatpak or not. I enabled the permissions in #flatseal

I strongly recommend a wireless bluetooth mouse. I am using a inexpensive logitech m535 and it works great. Wifi, no complaints there.

I do think that the default apps in the pureos repos should either be updated or omitted as the default software source, suchas the #libreoffice package when intalled has a theme that makes it look like it's from the 1990s whereas the flatpak version is very nice.

I've been watching #linuxmobile over the last decade and I am presently surprised how far purism and the #linux and #foss people have come. Excellent work @ all. I think this is a great device to do development on as it runs much faster than my #pinephone and even my librem5. And it's not qemu, and the device seems easy enough to reflash -- one thing I especially like about the librem5 aswell when compared to other processes like fumbling through pmbootstrap to reflash #android to #lineageos
I am still trying to figure out what the best music app for this device is -- I do like #lollypop

Internal sound quality isn't amazing, but I wouldn't call it bad either when comparing to some of the other small form factor devices with mobile speakers I've owned. It's fine as a fallback but you are better off with a bluetooth headset to complement it or a tiny portable bluetooth speaker.

Some options like "scale apps to fullscreen" are not easy to find so I had to set a few options in dconf-editor. I think there is a app called "Mobile Settings" that might have it. Not all apps have the dialogs constrained inside the screen dimensions like the Geany Open dialog for example (which is understandable as this app hasn't targeted mobile or tablet yet as far as I know.)

I use the device to watch online videos, for instant messaging via matrix via #element / #schildichat and it does just fine. I haven't tested it with #zoom or anything but from what I've seen I'm sure it'd do just fine.

Epiphany "Install Website as App" is a great feature -- I have several I've added to my App Menu, Epiphany has always had trouble though being on the lean side. I do wish that I had this option on #firefox ESR, in any case I've just switched to #librewolf again as I prefer it.

I am interesting in comparing phosh to #gnomemobile as I might want to use that instead someday. I have used #plasmamobile and it's hard to put into words in some ways I like it more than phosh, and in other ways I am just not used to the apps -- some apps are just better out of box like their notes app, I like that they have a flashlight button in their top menu. Their UX scaling and fluidity is really good. I am glad that everything is doing such a good job and friendly competition will drive each side to keep improving.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this device on day 1, but I am glad I did. And as I don't have a laptop or like laptops or conventional smartphones very much for me this device is kindof a big deal that I can do basic #linux and #it things on the go along with communication and such without all the headache of android, ios or windows which is not a option for me as linux is just better.

If you think about the #privacy space -- the #libremboot #codeboot is pretty revolutionary to start to see these kinds of firmwares in all in one hardware. And of course this automatic disk encryption is a nice bonus though not something I need as a enthusiast unless maybe I want to travel with the device and protect my data.

People will have different criticisms, and opinions, and I may be easy-going but overall my opinion is that I am pleased with the utility the device offers and I think any rough edges will only get better in the software over time. I may switch the default distro eventually to do some more research and exploring in the linux mobile space -- but it's a little unclear who the big names are worth checking out. I did postmarketos for a while but I feel like the QA is a little all over the place and their package manager is a little difficult to use when I want to check the available software versions, and the phone space is such a mess to try to document and navigate if you are trying to use a previously android device.

I'm also interested in how the #starlabs #starlite5 will compare and contrast in the future. Having used this device I can't recommend something in this size without a keyboard and mouse for more complex usage, I didn't really undestand that the Librem11 keyboard is wired at first, but now that I have figured it out I prefer the simple tech vs overcomplication.

All in all, I think they have a winner, and I expect to get a lot of use out of this as a side rig to my main desktop. Would buy again, and excited to see all the software improvements coming downstream.
