I refined my #PinePhone #convergence setup:

One thing I am still looking for: RSS feeds for youtube search terms.

So far, I only found one paid service that offers this (~ USD 100/year) - but before I subscribe to that, I wanted to #ask if someone has a FOSS/cheaper solution.
Thanks!

@didek Thanks, this seems to work well enough!

congrats to @gnome and Jonas on the gnome mobile progress! and thanks for the help debugging some issues.

almost everything works in pmOS now!

(video shows the gnome mobile interface, it crashes when i close the first application that was opened)

@lorendias At some point, the SoC i.MX8M is the limiting factor, with some quick internet research I could not find what the limits of the MIPI CSI-2 interface are, but I did not find it.

While the Librem5 is designed to be modular regarding WiFi and Cellular, I don't think this applies to the camera; and overall, software support for this kind of camera in the Linux ecosystem is currently limiting the usefulness of the camera most.

@lorendias Let's assume, you could find a 20 Megapixel camera module that would physically fit, software support would be a major hurdle: The module would need to have support in mainline Linux, and you would have to configure the entire messy user-space portion on your own.
Also: The iMX8M lacks capabilies for video encoding, so if video is your objective... don't bother.

@lorendias IMHO: It's not worth it. The sensor in the Librem 5 seems to be good, but the software processing needs to get better, so that's what I would recommend invest time (and money?) into.
