Brad Linder<p>This interview with the Liberux team about the work-in-progress NEXX phone with an RK3588S processor and Linux-based software goes into pricing, hardware, software, accessories, and much more. <a href="https://linmob.net/liberux-nexx-an-interview-with-liberux/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">linmob.net/liberux-nexx-an-int</span><span class="invisible">erview-with-liberux/</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LinuxSmartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxSmartphones</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MobileLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MobileLinux</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LiberuxNexx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiberuxNexx</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Liberux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberux</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>The first prototype board for the Liberux NEXX has been produced, and the team is testing, debugging, and preparing to validate RAM, storage, cameras and display and other hardware for this Linux-based phone with an RK3588S processor. <a href="https://liberux.net/our-first-dev-board-has-arrived/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">liberux.net/our-first-dev-boar</span><span class="invisible">d-has-arrived/</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LiberuxNEXX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiberuxNEXX</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Liberux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberux</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LinuxSmartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxSmartphones</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MobileLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MobileLinux</span></a></p>
Sebastian Krzyszkowiak<p>That's all I can think of on the spot. Of course there's still the camera and GPU stuff, but these would need their own dedicated threads 😂 Feel free to hit me up if you want to hack on some of these things, I could likely offer some help and guidance.</p><p><a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/linuxmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmobile</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/librem5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>librem5</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/linuxsmartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxsmartphones</span></a></p>
Sebastian Krzyszkowiak<p>The Librem 5 (and mobile GNU/Linux in general) has matured a lot over the years, but there are still some areas where the software stack is behind the hardware capabilities. Some of them are often talked about, such as camera quality or GPU (GLES3/Vulkan/OpenCL), but there are also lesser known ones in need of some plumbing and middleware infrastructure. Maybe you'll find something interesting to hack on there?</p><p>1/N 🧵</p><p><a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/linuxmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmobile</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/librem5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>librem5</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/linuxsmartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxsmartphones</span></a></p>

Sebastian Krzyszkowiak<p>That said, you don't need huge powerful but complex tools like <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/darktable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>darktable</span></a> or <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/rawtherapee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rawtherapee</span></a> to make your photos look better. Imagine a simple to use app that lets you do basic stuff on the phone, like white balance or contrast correction, which could then take its time exporting at full res with all the heavy noise reduction algos without annoying the user while taking photos.</p><p>Does that sound like something you'd like to work on? 😁</p><p><a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/linuxmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmobile</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/linuxsmartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxsmartphones</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/librem5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>librem5</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/pinephone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinephone</span></a></p>
