Wow, cool day for #Firefox on #LinuxMobile. After #PipeWire and thus #libcamera camera support, now hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M is landing as well. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1833354#c23

    While Linux phones seem a distant dream. I think these are the major features that are needed for it to be a suitable daily driver for developers:

    • Waydroid - Cause we gotta have android apps.
    • Proper 5G/4G/3G Support.
    • Availability of more devices that can run Linux.

    Great news! However as long as Mozilla shows no interest whatsoever in developing a mobile UI, I don’t have much hope honestly. The mobile-firefox-config we develop at postmarketOS works fine, but it’ll never be as great as an actual mobile UI.

    Oh nice, libcamera support! Hopefully that means I can use the camera on my surface without using a loopback.
