Genode OS

[PineFone]

I am happy to announce Sculpt OS 23.10, which we released simultaneously for the PinePhone and PC platforms today:

Thanks for posting the steps on how to install as a reminder. Here's what I have for feedback. Let me know if there's something specific I should be testing:

1) Might be a good idea to create a series of nag screens at start up providing the same steps you listed here on how to install the SD card and expand the drive space. They go away once the Storage has been setup properly.

2) The "1" button is still a small target to press (it took a few tries). It would be great to make the button larger half way between the current size and the size of one of the numbers on the phone dial pad. It's still better than it was before when it was right up on the left edge of the screen which triggered the morph browser, etc. when touched.

3) In the phone section, the # is still disabled on the dial pad making checking Voice Mail undoable. The "Clear" button works more like a back space requiring hitting it for each number you need erased. Maybe change "Clear" to "backspace" or add a button that will actually clear all the numbers at once so you have "Backspace" button next to "Clear" button.

4) The history & clear sections appear to be inactive placeholders for future use.

5) Not sure if it was there before, but I like how when it's charging it gives you the battery charge current mA.

6) I enjoy using the morph browser, but at some point the tiny size of each website is going to become an issue. One of the things to work on down the road once the primary parts are in place I assume.

7) It would be great to have some kind of meter for signal strength and let you know what your current network connection is (2G, 4G, etc.). See the Arch OS for an example.

8) This is more a Sculpt PC version question, but given the micro kernel size, what are the smallest devices Sculpt can fit on? Meshtastic and Reticulum rely on LilyGo radio nodes that have up to 8MB of storage space (I believe) and require being connected to phones or laptops for their OS.

Sculpt is so small maybe there's some of these radio nodes or other IoT devices that could install Sculpt to greatly expand their capability without needing a phone or laptop. This may be one of the primary purposes of Sculpt to begin with already, it just occurred to me and seemed worth mentioning.
