TuxJam 114 – Pachways

The FOSSy foursome of Al, Andrew, Dave and Kevie return for another bout of linuxy software spiced with creative common tunes.

We begin as always with a round-up of recent releases from distrowatch. Next we review Waydroid which allows you to efficiently run an Android environment if you happen to be running Wayland. Then we take a look at Pachli which is an Android client for Mastodon forked from the Tusky/Husky codebase.

We finish up with a round-up of feedback and offer up a couple of dates that you might want to pop into your diary:

  • Podcrawl Late Summer 2024 on Saturday 31 August from 18:00 UK time (BST).
  • OggCamp 2024 on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October 2024, Manchester UK.

Perhaps you would like some TuxJam merch? Thanks to the talents of our very own Kevie we now have designs in our Redbubble shop.

One thought on “TuxJam 114 – Pachways”

  1. Excellent show guys. I am once again caught up, as I have already listened to 115 – Oggcamp.
    Waydroid
    A few months ago I installed KDE Neon on a laptop to test Waydroid, as that distro defaulted to Wayland. It worked just fine. I needed it for a specific purpose at the time: to watch the Peacock media channel on a Linux machine, since it works on Android. Unfortunately the app kept saying it was not compatible with the version of Android, something like that. Otherwise I enjoyed the Waydroid experience.
    Pachli
    I had been running Tusky just fine on my Android phone for my 1 Mastodon account. I had heard of Pachli, and remember Dave’s research including IIRC his conversation with the developer. Your reviews led me to install Pachli for myself and use it as my daily driver. Tusky is still installed for backup, but I did take away the link. I am really enjoying the “Load newest” feature in the home and notifications feeds. Definitely a great feature.
    Thanks again for your insights and such excellent music. Going to guess that Infraction was Andrew’s choice.
