Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (11/2026): Input, Budgets and Widgets

This past week: postmarketOS publishes 2025 financial report and 2026 budget, GNOME 50 approaching with libadwaita 1.9 released with new sidebar widget for adaptive apps, Stevia speech input prototype via vosk-server - talk to Phosh, Plasma Keyboard improvements and way more. Enjoy!

This will also help #LinuxMobile. There are rumors that this might get integrated into #stevia (as you might have heard at our last community get together):

#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 I also made a video including details & instructions. Boosts Please! The greater the diversity of people & languages in the data, the better we can test for correctness.

We just landed initial support for Chinese (via pinyin) and Japanese (via anthy / romaji) in #Phosh's on screen keyboard #stevia using #uim

As our current maintainers don't speak / write these languages we appreciate testing feedback and people joining development so we can improve things further in this important area.
