## Donations
I'd like to start this post off by saying I HIGHLY recommend donating to postmarketOS if you want devices to have a second life once Android support is dropped or if you want them to be Linux first (not Android) first!

If you have seen my older blog posts about Linux Mobile (I lost a few posts with my move) then you may remember how the open dialog (like with the Audio Player application in this example) did not scale well for mobile and kinda made them impossible to use. With that in memory I'm happy to report that it has been fixed in this example:

<img src="/images/mobile-linux-2025/OpenDialog.png" alt="It fits just right!" style="max-width:200px;">
</a>
I suspect this might depend on applications using a newer libadwaita version so your mileage may vary.
Now a new interesting one to replace that issue! The print dialog! I was able to do this when trying to print out directions:

I was also able to use `scp` (to transfer the screenshots in this post) and `ssh` without issue, for enabling SSH on boot use this [page](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/SSH).

I suspect this might depend on applications using a newer libadwaita version so your mileage may vary. I'm very happy to see additional process being made to make Linux work great on mobile devices, I know there are still issues such as banking, missing applications and such but I think there is a strong foundation here!
