List of Apps that fit and function well [Post them here.]

Indeed. Just one reason why I am not a fan of USB charging at all. Noone ever got hacked by a barrel connector. :wink:

scale-to-fit does nothing to my telegram-desktop, still doesn’t fit properly. I once tried a hack where I launched telegram from the command line with a 90% zoom, but can’t remember how.

I’ve been working on a Kodi remote. https://gitlab.com/n990/gnome-kodi-remote/-/tree/master

Lots more that could/should be done to it, but it does work.

I found it.
From the terminal, run telegram-desktop -scale 90
Unfortunately no scaling factor that fits the width within the screen fills the total height of the screen, so it looks as if it is in window mode…
scale-to-fit appears to have no effect on telegram-desktop on Librem5 at all though.

Since telegram-desktop is a Qt app, it will work differently whether the qtwayland5 package is installed or not, so you can try installing (or uninstalling) that. After (un)installation, you need to reboot/relogin for it to take effect.

Finally, full screen telegram with input area that doesn’t hide behind the OSK.

Thanks!

Can you clarify? Is this a web app?
Looks good.

It’s where you take the webpage and make a short cut to your desktop…so it can act like clicking on a app to get to the webpage.

Yes, that’s a web app. Automatically sandboxes any web page you save that way. :+1:

BillardGL
Flatpak
I still need to figure out how to change the rotation on my L5 so that the game fits horizontally. Upon figuring that out, pending total functionality.

Can you add more info to your screenshot, such as type of package, the app name, if it came from the application store, whether it fits completely, whether everything functions right?
Thanks! :slight_smile:

I installed qtwayland5 and now the tg desktop client fits nicely to the screen. It only takes some time (~30s) on first start. Why is this?

Flatpak install…fits and functions well

I had some problems with minitube and found freetube (which I think is chromium + web app) which works well, and also has a “sponsored content” skip option.

FileLight sudo apt-get install filelight via CLI

Flatpak or PureOS byzantium? Please include some detail with your screenshots, for everybody’s benefit. Thanks. :wink:

I thought that I saw a Purism team member (was it Kyle or ??) post here a few weeks back about Purism’s upcoming AV app, maybe like FreeTube, which would let you, among other things, rip the audio from video (say a youtube vid) - a bandwidth (and battery) saver. Was it called Streams or Streaming? Something like that, although not much else has been said about it here since then.

Yeah, stream. However it’s been broken for some time now.
