As someone without an electric car, i always assumed it was for something to do while charging.
Dang, ok. Using Linux, so i guess i gotta learn the weird qmk programming stuff ive been seeing. Ill probably throw in a feature request with VIA too. Thanks for the info.

The customer is always right, in matters of taste.
sudo flatpak upgrade
Does anyone know if i need to be concerned about updating my yuzu flatpak? Apparently nintendo is taking control of all assets, and im not sure if they’ll brick the flatpak or not.
No, your laptop also connects to the hotspot. If you have available wifi at your location, you can then setup the pi to use that wifi and disconnect the phone hotspot, and just use the local wifi on all devices.
Ive just found this to be the simplest setup. I briefly had serial over bluetooth set up, and it was an easier way to change the pi’s wifi, but it broke pretty quickly for me not sure why.
Probably the most elegant solution is ethernet over usb, but thats a bit of a pain to set up.
For me a hotspot has been the least headache
What i usually do is set up a wifi hotspot from my phone, and connect the pi that way
I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.
The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed. Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.
If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.
Thats a fair point, i never tried banking on waydroid. Most of the stuff i would need on the go seemed fine though.
Although, as far as tap to pay goes, i could see that getting baked into linux properly. I dont believe apple pay and google pay tap pay are using a different protocol. I may very well be wrong though.
Waydroid runs decently on the pinephone. On a phone with better specs, it might be downright usable for proprietary apps.
Potentially a proton-style layer could really ease transition, like on the steamdeck
Leaving my house for over an hour
My point is really just that it is an entirely different software stack than the traditional linux experience. I cant just download the source for a standard linux app and compile it for android, it needs to be ported.
I think pinephone and librem are the closest we have gotten to a proper linux phone. But the specs suck, and the mobile optimized app ecosystem isnt there yet. Thats the point of the op meme.
Hell, I think even Raspberry Pi Foundation getting into the phone market would be a game changer too.
Everyone saying Android is completely missing the point. I mean yeah, it runs the linux kernel, but i feel like most of yall wouldn’t call ChromeOS linux on the other hand.
The obvious connotations are privacy, choice, wayland/x11 support, a useful terminal, a rich foss ecosystem, and arch btw.
Damn i still say that like that sometimes, and i totally forgot where it came from
