Wow, cool day for #Firefox on #LinuxMobile. After #PipeWire and thus #libcamera camera support, now hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M is landing as well. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1833354#c23

In the past couple of days both Pipewire (and with it libcamera) support and hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M landed for Firefox to work better on Linux smartphones, which development for has started to grow exponentially in the last months. Great news overall for the future of the mobile platform!

Oh nice, libcamera support! Hopefully that means I can use the camera on my surface without using a loopback.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
