Kitty doesn't have touch support and gnome-console is pretty slow with
broken text rendering with fractional scaling, so alacritty is the best
option we have here.
Alacritty has vastly superior touch support compared to kitty, which
doesn't feature touch support at all. The simplicity of Alacritty also
makes it faster and overall cleaner to use than GNOME Console (kgx).
This *shouldn't* have changed anything anyway since `man git-web--browse`
suggests that only a subset of browsers are supported anyway, which
doesn't include librewolf.
This should help avoid surprises when using other computers and simplify
things a bit. Note that super for the application launcher was cool but
now I prioritize launching applications from ironbar instead.
This was my attempt at using the volume module, however I'd rather not
have to deal with using the small sliders that are extremely difficult
to see with the GTK theme I'm using.
I tried changing the colors with color, background, and border-color,
however I wasn't able to achieve the appearance I wanted, and disabling
the built-in popup results in a buggy left-clicking experience.
Will stop trying to make Hyprland work on mobile devices due to all the
issues with it for now.
For future reference, some issues include:
- Touch events not registering as touches, thus breaking applications
that have touch support like LibreWolf with FriendlyFox.
- OSK support in general being not there yet with the best keyboard
Squeekboard not working and wvkbd not being comfy enough to use.
- Screen size in general being small already so having multiple apps
side-by-side is mostly useless, especially when the OSK interferes
with this as well.
This worked but broke when changing the display from e.g. 200% scaling
to 100% scaling. Since being able to easily change the scaling of
Hyprland was one of the main reasons I wanted to try Hyprland over
Phosh, I don't really have a use case for Hyprland on touch devices at
this moment, especially with all the drawbacks of using it on such a
small screen and without hardware acceleration.
This was an interesting experiment however it wasn't very practical
since text became difficult to read and the wider width of the font
broke a lot of programs on the small PinePhone screen.
Will be trying this again since Hyprland offers a substantial
performance improvement over Phosh and hardware accelerated videos
are broken anyway with the lower cpu speed.
Squeekboard was misbehaving so I thought I'd have better luck with
wvkbd, but it turns out that this isn't the case. For some reason,
nothing can be typed at all which is even worse than Squeekboard.
