I am building a file transfer app purpose built for Linux and Android

Reply in thread

Linux supports wifi aware. You can already create aware networks using the iw tool. (you need to check the nl80211.h for programmatic usage)

I don't know about android though it should also support it since newer android devices can also share to apple devices (this was forced by the EU using the DMA)

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability

Reply in thread

Fairphones are pretty well supported with PostmarketOS which is mainline Linux. Audio support being one big feature that is missing on all of them. Luca Weiss from Fairphone is working on mainline Linux patches for these devices. The Fairphone 6 booted with Linux support on the first day it was released (though still missing many drivers)

I wish Fairphone would hire more People to work on Linux support

Me after Mozilla and Proton

I went all-in on proton a few years ago but I dislike the direction in which they are going now. Does anybody have tips on how (and where) to switch smoothly. I could self host email but I've heard that it's a big hassle

Ich möchte gerade einen Treiber für einen controller schreiben, bei dem die register map nicht im Datenblatt steht. Das heißt ich darf den Android treiber für diesen chip reverse-engineeren und probieren rauszufinden wie es funktioniert.

Getting into Linux Development?

Great to hear that you're looking to get into PostmarketOS development! I recommend taking a phone that's already supported, using it and then figure out how improve support the device.

Porting/Mainlining a new device is also possible but that can be demotivating if it doesn't work and it's generally harder to get started with.

If you have any questions or need help you can dm me and I can help.
