Remember Windows Phone and its iconic Live Tiles? Now imagine that interface… running on Linux instead of Windows.

That’s the idea behind ztOS, a mobile Linux project based on Arch Linux ARM, featuring ztMETRO, an interface inspired by Windows Phone 8.1, and native Linux applications.

It runs on the Samsung Galaxy S9 with a mainline Linux kernel. Wi-Fi, 4G and the touchscreen are already working, but the camera, Bluetooth and call audio still need work.

It’s still in alpha, so it’s nowhere near ready for daily use. But it’s an interesting alternative vision for Linux on smartphones.

Would you try a Linux phone with a Windows Phone-inspired interface, or do you prefer the Android experience?

And finally... after so many years, Steam is finally going to be a 64-bit only app.

That should end years of dependence on 32-bit i686 libraries. Users would no longer need to maintain a 32-bit system library stack just to run the client.

In beta, for now.

Haystack, my app for editing #OpenQA needles has been released on #Flathub! It's a tool to create and maintain needles (annotated screenshots) for testing operating systems. OpenQA is used by Debian, SUSE, GNOME and others to automatically test new releases.

Haystack is built for #GNOME with #Adwaita and #Vala. The icon was designed by @hbons . Thanks to @sophie for the convenient "app.drey" domain.

Closer to Ukraine through deeper cooperation on cybersecurity.

We held our 5th EU–Ukraine Cyber Dialogue in Brussels. It was an important opportunity to discuss operational cybersecurity cooperation, alignment with EU norms and policies, cyber defence and diplomacy, including sanctions.

The Dialogue confirmed our shared understanding of cyber-related issues and our commitment to deepen cooperation, with a focus on concrete operational results.

Do you have a fingerprint reader? In GNOME 51 we improved the user interface for managing fingerprints, and now adding, removing or even storing multiple different fingerprints is easier than ever.

Note: this feature isn't limited to smartphones!

Відкрив для себе магію мікрохвильовки та овочів. Чомусь раніше не допетрав, що так можна робити з овочами.
Кабачки, синеньки, морква, картопля, буряк. До 10 хвилин у пічці (у пакеті чи контейнері) і готово, без згорілого масла чи жиру (трохи брешу, до картоплі додаю шматки сала ;) ).
Мені соромно, що я раніше це не робив.

yes, the goal of the fork is pretty much to get rid of any connection with russia, and also to make a true AGPLv3 fork of it because fork rules of ONLYOFFICE are breaking the AGPLv3, lmao

following overtly long article talks about mobile linux history. where mobile linux failed and where it had some success.

but it also says that mobile linux has some future.

I’ve just started the string freeze phase for Gnome Commander 2.2 release. This means that no new translatable strings will be introduced to the user interface, allowing translators to complete their translations. So no more big features as these tend to change the user interface.

There are still plenty of bugs to be fixed for this release however, and I hope to get some code refactoring in as well. Lots of work remaining but we are getting there. Hopefully all done by mid-November.

@zeh @ploum @d1 @skyblitz @rysiek With Delta Chat, the public key is not actually public. The relays (transmission servers) never see it, so they can not map a relationship graph. Maybe that softens this concern? We will publish a security whitepaper later in the year which will make this information better available.
