Continued work on the gnome shell for desktop as well as phosh for mobile. I have no need for most apps on my phone, but I really need access to a stable interface allowing for basic photo, web, and maps functionality. IMO, phosh looks the best out of all the upcoming offerings.
Libcamera development is probably the most exciting thing for me. Phosh is pretty usable as is now and web browsers work fine on Linux mobile, but camera support is a giant mess with v4l2 and having to manually wire up the camera pipelines in a device-specific way. Offloading said mess to a library and having a standard API for applications to use for camera access should allow for easier integration of mobile cameras into apps that already support USB cameras (uvcvideo). I know the PinePhone has partial libcamera integration already (qcam works but not well) and the PinePhone Pro also has partial support as it shows cameras as available but have not been able to get a picture yet.
ROG Ally. Finally a good device which lets me play any of my indie games on my commute. This is important to me as I’m the dad of a 7 week old girl, and my commute is the only time I have for gaming now.
Genuine question, why not Steam Deck? I enjoy playing indie games (Into the Breach, One Step from Eden, Into the Void, etc) on my Steam Deck on bus.
It’s not available in Norway, and probably won’t be any time soon. I could have it sent to a collection point in Sweden and pick it up there, but then I’d have a lot of trouble dealing with a warrenty claim if something doesn’t work.
Norway is an odd country to miss out. I kinda just assumed they’d released it in every stable European country.
We’re a really small non-eu market. I completely understand why they haven’t bothered launching it here.
:(
