Is there any open source app on android that supports rcs?
Yes, you install them through desktop mode then load them into steam as a non steam game. Then they'll show up in game mode. There's also a decky plugin that easily lets you add artwork for the steam entry
Only thing I know of is the lead dev has a mastodon account (dansup) where he's pretty active
Organic maps is the goat, looking forward to their linux build becoming more stable
I've ran both pop_os and nixos on the same laptop, albeit a newer laptop, and they felt the same to me performance wise. My experience is that if they're using the same kernel, same init system, same desktop env, etc they'll prob feel the same
Current nixos user and it seems to me to have stabilized a good bit. I know that the nixos foundation held their first elections for the steering community. Also they recently released their new stable 24.11 version that seemed to go smoothly.
It is not back to where it was in terms of dev trust but there is good progress, and my software still gets updated so I have stuck with it
This is the initial release of their beta, I would've been very surprised if it had upload capabilities
I switched from rimusic to innertune and have been happy
Pretty sure it's not removed, they just aren't accepting any changes from the developer for the 6.13 cycle
Anyone have any comparisons of this to Ardour?

There are apps made for linux that don't work with android, and there are apps made for android that don't work with linux. That's enough for me to consider them different
Also android just doesn't use the basic mainline kernel which is what most people want when they say "linux phone"

I don't daily drive one but I've been keeping a close eye on it and here's my opinions: postmarketos seems to have the most momentum out of any distro (you can see device support here). I do believe it will be viable eventually as a lot of work is actively being done. This month they announced two grants that were accepted for 4g volte calling and firefox on mobile improvements. They are also working on porting systemd to alpine so that gnome mobile and plasma mobile can be run without any workarounds. Also the oneplus6/6t seems to be the most hopeful for a daily driver.
tldr: I don't think it's currently viable but work and money is currently being put towards projects to fix that
Oh I was more looking for suggestions of actual color schemes rather than how to theme, sorry for the confusion
Primarily trying to theme my window manager and terminal

Color scheme with a pure black background?
I was wondering if anyone knew any color schemes with a pure black background (#000000)? Every theme I could think of used something lighter colored so I wanted to know if I was missing some.
The motivation is partially I think it would look cool and partially the potential for lower power usage on an oled screen.
Edit: primarily asking for color scheme suggestions for my window manager and terminal, less so how to theme
Bro this is a linux community, what were you expecting?
As a developer writing code who used windows to ssh to linux servers I would disagree. But of course it depends on the company and the nature of the work, just offering my experience
Every place I've been at had developers using windows machines and then ssh into a linux environment
Not op but check the permissions of the app and if you're not comfortable with them don't use it. As they said you should be fine
Split keyboards are niche enough that the cheapest option I found was building it myself (with pcbs by jclpcb). Ones I looked at are corne, cheapino, lily58, and ferris sweep but I settled on the chocofi and have been loving it
Edit: my goal was to find something "corne-like" as there seems to be good resources for it and I wanted to try the miryoku firmware

Need advice on new wireless controllers for couch coop
Hello all, I'm looking to buy 4-8 controllers for some couch coop games and haven't found any clear winners so far. I'm leaning 2.4Ghz as I've heard problems about bluetooth controllers disconnecting on the steam deck and always appreciate less latency. I also don't need any fancy features like gyro or touchpads, just the generic xbox-like style would be great. Also my last problem is that every one I've found requires a dongle per controller, to which I'm wondering if 4-8 dongles next to each other would cause interference?
In essence: if anyone has recommendations on controllers for couch coop games on the steam deck where the main priority is connection stability, it'd be much appreciated!

Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine?
Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I've heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that's been resolved. Any insight is appreciated
