Pidgin – A Universal Chat Client

Have you seen the latest review of the Librem 5 from Linus Tech Tips? The phone seems to run Linux apps fine... it doesn’t have working camera drivers a year after release though...

So Pidgin (gaim for those of us old enough to remember those days) should run fine without a port.

Hell, I still don't have my damn order and I placed it in Oct. 2017. Their last post said early orders would be completed by EOY, but my last email to support they said another two months.

I want to be supportive but holy hell am I frustrated.

The problem is the lack of SoC documentation. There is some progress for the camera though: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/44#note_1....

Sure. Was saying that this should work out of the box (at least for the most part) on a linux phone. No port necessary.
