Nothing in Plasma Bigscreen is specific to ARM. You just got to find a distribution that ships it for x86 or compile it yourself.

But tbf I wouldn't recommend Plasma Bigscreen, it currently has no developers and is missing a lot of polishing and general apps.

I don't think so, it's there to make it easy to read the text no matter what background you're using. Why do you want to remove it in the first place?

That just goes to show that we really need to get rid of the Google dependency in our life. F-Droid, Plasma Mobile, all great solutions that really need more mainstream use.

I use VSCodium in Distrobox daily on Alpine Linux, and it works flawlessly. I don't experience the problem you encounter but I use KDE Plasma which I suppose handles it differently.

I am however looking into slowly moving over to KDE's Kate for development, my laptop really doesn't like opening multiple chrome instances for the various instances of VSCodium and then also an Android emulator on top of that.

The instance needs to have https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/114 applied, it might not be in the version you are running yet.

For some people it's definitely usable as a daily driver but not for me yet. I for one require some Android apps and Waydroid isn't far enough yet, but I also need good suspend/battery saving which isn't there yet on this particular device.

I found out in the meantime. You can find communities from Lemmy on Mastodon using the @communityname@server pattern. So @kde@lemmy.kde.social will find this community. On Mastodon it'll appear as a user boosting every post (both top post and comments) and that way you can find individual comments.

It isn't great, the UX is clearly different and not made for each other, but it works and you can favourite or boost individual posts with it.

I daily drived the original Jolla Phone. However since I realized that it was even more proprietary (the core apps + UI toolkit Silica is proprietary) than a simple AOSP Android ROM, I decided that my next phone would be a regular Android phone again.

Now I'm dual-booting both postmarketOS and CalyxOS (which is an Android ROM) oh my SHIFT6mq and I have no reason to ever go back to SailfishOS, even though I liked the experience at the time.

Oh, how weird lol. The Lemmy UX definitely doesn't fit on Mastodon, now this "community account" as it appears on Mastodon just boosts every post made in the community, without context to the exact post it seems.

It is nice to be able to boost or favorite individual comments though!

You're missing the build headers of those dependencies. Depending on the distribution it's often called something like <packagename>-dev or <packagename>-devel. And what distribution is this that doesn't have Haruna?

Again, build dependencies. Please read the error message, it tells you exactly what you're missing.

Note that installing from source like that is not recommended, it's better to use your distributions package manager.
