A topic for Phonephone enthousisasts: which distro to choose which supports the keyoard & use it in an optimal way with LibreOffice?

Last Updated on June 15, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org has the vision that the Pinephone with it’s keyboard will be a great Linux mini computer to use it with LibreOffice in less than 10 years from now:

  • Here is where I stuck as well.
  • First I installed Ubuntu Touch on my Pinephone, but it did not support the Pinephone keyboard.
  • This was more than a year ago.
  • Then I installed PostmarketOS and it worked.
  • PostmarketOS was one of the first distros which was available for the Pinephone.
  • There I managed also to install LibreOffice on it:

  • But then comes the issue with the keyboard.
  • The Pinephone keyboard is very robust and hard-wired.
  • But it offers only a limited number of keys.
  • There are not many special keys available.
  • For LibreOffice it would be highly desirable to have the last key used for it.
  • And here is where I stuck:

The goal is to run LibreOffice in Posh on the Pinephone. It can be run by typing:

The answer of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org to the question in the tite:

use postmarketOS and not Ubuntu Touch

the reason for it can be found here:

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
