I've something to share for running Snaps on Halium devices, and it's a gpu-2404 provider for Snaps to take advantage of. https://snapcraft.io/hybris-2404 The idea is to ship userspace drivers as snaps to consume by other snaps, and it's providing the same ABI-compatible equivalents to EGL, GLESv2, etc. Fun fact: the gpu-2404 interface provides a way for hybris-2404 to set up the LD_PRELOAD hack that maybe a handful of devices rely on. It fits beautifully in there.

OTA-7 Release Notes

Putting some finishing touches on Tide for Linux. Here we have it, again and properly, running on Ubuntu Touch!
In less than two weeks I'll be presenting the technical underpinnings of Snaps on Ubuntu Touch, mainline Linux vs libhybris devices & the challenges of achieving an All-Snap experience. image

On a personal note, I'm dire need of financial support. Due to trouble in private life over the last few years I've come to the point where I cannot pay back debt right now, either for the tax office or otherwise. It's really urgent, threatening me with deeper trouble if I don't manage to pay off my debts. So if you value my contributions to FLOSS, Ubuntu Touch, or otherwise, then please consider a donation and sharing this message:
