Canonical and Qualcomm have announced a collaboration to bring Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core to Qualcomm devices, with the latter joining Canonical's silicon partner program.
The mobile space has been getting better. For instance, Libadwaita will scale and collapse on smaller screens and all of the UI works with a touch screen.
It’s insane how good some libadwaita/GTK4 programs are at working well on large screens and small ones, and being able to switch between the two shockingly well at the drop of a hat.
Resize a window to a phone shape and many GTK4/Libadwaita apps, quite seamlessly, switch to a mobile UI that looks pretty well thought out.
I’m actually shocked the devs don’t make more of a song and dance about it, because they’ve done a stellar job and it’s currently overlooked by the community IMO.
there’s been a lot of work the past couple years for gnome mobile. It looked nice on my pinetab and pinephone about a year ago. Would be great on a more powerful tablet
Before we max bet on phones, I think we should nail tablet first. The GUI for the current Linux apps are designed for mouse, not for phone/tablet.
