Announcing the Mobian project

[e1337]

• Mobian uses custom packages only when absolutely necessary (30 source packages as of today, not counting mobian- and pinephone-specific ones)
  

• • when the package needs to be modified to work fine with the phone's display (gtk, gedit, gnome-software...)
    

I do wonder, wouldn't it be a good idea to add some sort of runtime query so apps like gedit can detect they're on a phone-like device and have these UI modifications upstreamed as well? A bit like brought up here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-s.../issues/56

Because if gedit is modified as a separate package, won't that break/remove the possibility of desktop UI when attaching a big screen via USB? (Apart from the other issues that come with a patched mobile package, like constant work to keep up with upstream etc.) It would be nice if this was instead attached to some toggleable property that apps can detect at runtime and adjust their UIs accordingly.
