Linux on (non-Apple) ARM, what is the current status?

Qualcomm Snapdragon, Ampere and maybe others. Support of Snapdragons was said to be quite bad due to the lack of upstream "giving a damn about Linux".

Has this changed?

I almost succeeded to set my Librem 5 phone to work as UVC camera for the computer. Things you can almost do yourself on Linux phone are so much fun then propriety app that do them on android.

Ich interessiere mich für die Installation von , habe aber zunächst noch einige Fragen dazu, wobei ich selbst nur Linux nutzen, aber nicht programmieren will. 😉

  1. Da es verschiedene Arten/Sorten von Linux gibt und ich auch hier auf Mastodon immer wieder was von gelesen habe, wäre Linuxmint eine gute Wahl und warum bzw. warum nicht?
  2. Wie sieht es mit der Kompatibilität von Dokumenten aus, die sich auf Sticks und Festplatten befinden (Stichworte: Formatierung, Windows)
  3. Wenn ich zunächst Linux nur auf einem Stick installieren will, wie groß sollte dieser sein und was sollte ich beachten, wenn ich zusätzliche Programme (Office-Paket) installieren will?

Ich freue mich über eure Antworten und das Teilen meines Beitrages.
Herzlichen Dank im Voraus dafür. 😁

One accidental push… and we lost 3 weeks of hard work.

This is a real story. I force-pushed my colleague's Git branch.

But thanks to reflog, it got recovered.

If you're a developer using Git, this Medium article could save you, too.

I am once again considering to write my own window manager

...unless the setup I am thinking of is already possible, let me construct this in your head:

On the top of the screen, there is narrow status bar, which is split into two parts. On the right side of the bar, you have your clock, your battery, your signal strength and so on.

On the left side, there is a clickable tab for every window you have opened. It's like browser tabs: Every window always uses the entire space below the status bar.

On the far left, there could be an icon which opens a searchable list of applications, kind of like but vertical. Everything supports mouse input as you would expect.

Does that exist? Should I make it? It would be awesome for smaller screens, like phones.

Edit: I should add that I'm planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with a single 600 MHz CPU core, 256 MB RAM and a resolution of 800×480 pixels. Existing full desktop environments like Xfce4, LXDE, and so on are way to heavy to run.
