Thanks. As far as I understand Byzantium is a stable release. Is it there a testing equivalent? PS I can edit sources.conf as I've been using Debian since forever 😀
Nell’uso quotidiano dei computer capita spesso di avere la necessità di una base stabile ed allo stesso tempo di utilizzare versioni recenti, molto recenti o anche “beta/alpha/speriment…
I do own a #librem5 but currently I'm mainly use a previous Android phone. Epiphany crashes on too many websites and firefox runs fine but don't like the smallish screen as it thinks it's running on a "desktop" machine 😭 (Also having Telegram, Signal and Session clients would help) @haeckerfelix @purism
For telegram, you can install the package; telegram-desktop, it has a small window overflow, but then you can use the app phosh-mobile-settings, in the composer option to scale it down to 90%, then it fits the window, you need to have telegram open at the same time as the phosh-mobile-settings app.
As for signal, you _might_ get away with the latest relase of Axolotl:
"landing" corresponds to Debian's "unstable" where packages get uploaded to. After 5 or 6 days these migrate to "byzantium" (migration can be blocked if regressions are found).
"octarine" corresponds to Debian's experimental. It's a "playground" for developers to work on packages before releasing them to the wider world, so breakage should be expected.
Word of warning: Any bugs there should be reported to the devs instead of bugging support about them ;)

In my foolishnesses I've also downgraded from unstable to testing without reinstalling, but it's an experience I won't reccomend

in reply to Paolo Redaelli • • •Byzantium indeed is based on stable/bullseye (with quite a bit of backporting needed for the mobile stack).
There is no testing equivalent, but in the not too distant future we will start working on a bookworm based image (no ETA though).
