And that’s how we’re back to mailing lists :D

Me (installing Arch): Amateurs!

Finally some good use for AI! I’d still prefer the original GTK1.2 version, though.

^^^ this. And for older phones, if I remember correctly, I used something like this like 6 years ago: https://camo.com/camera. I’m afraid it’s not open source, but it looked trustworthy at that time, and I think it worked in Linux (as a standard webcam) but I might be mistaken. Take it with caution but from there you can start searching and maybe will find better alternatives.

I’d like to know more about it too.

So far, from what I know, the main problem is the drivers for everything but CPU. Linux runs perfectly on ARM, be it Apple or not, but when it comes to something like a video adapter… with HW-accelerated video decoding and stuff… here’s where you start getting problems.

Regarding software, I run an ARM-based distro inside a VM on Apple for work and everything from what I need there exists and works.
