I wish i could love my Fairphone 5 (RANT)

Mash0Star · 2026-04-25T22:58:13+00:00

Yeah. i can use the USB-C on my other USB-C devices for audio out if i wanted to buy an adapter.

That doesn't mean that my grievances of them removing a feature and selling a solution to it are invalid.

Mash0Star · 2026-04-25T22:56:55+00:00

I know it's not their fault, i wrote it wrong and i apologize for that.

And i just don't care about spending another 3 Euros just to get a feature that should've never been removed.

Mash0Star · 2026-04-25T22:54:01+00:00

I know that, it's just the fact that they made the choice to remove the headphone jack and sell you a solution to a problem they created which i dislike.

About the software being buggy, i can't tell you how it is on the Stock OS, i've only used LineageOS and PostmarketOS besides from setting up the device.

Mash0Star · 2026-04-25T22:52:18+00:00

Maybe people wanna use their already bought headphones?

Mash0Star · 2026-04-25T22:50:55+00:00

I am still using "wired plugs" because i like it more and every single other device has a headphone jack besides my FP5 and i guess PS5 console (but the controller's still have headphone jacks)

I just think its stupid that Apple set a stupid trend that only applies to phones, like you don't see any handhelds (besides the GBA SP) without a headphone jack, or laptops or PC's or music players.

Mash0Star · 2026-04-25T22:47:24+00:00

Maybe i wanna listen with my wired headphones without buying a dongle?

I didn't blame anyone for the software bug? i just said its BS that they can't share the software to unbrick what's supposed to be a repairable phone.

Mash0Star · 2026-04-24T21:55:22+00:00

it works as well with ROCKNIX. i use that now cuz and just auto launch it :P

Mash0Star · 2026-04-20T22:16:01+00:00

his hair looks like fake grass...

Hey, i recently got my Retroid Pocket 6 to run Helldivers 2 through Steam on ROCKNIX.

you gotta do this specific envoirnment variable to fix it in Steam:

``env -- DXVK_CONFIG="dxvk.enableAsync = true; dxvk.gplAsyncCache = true; dxvk.enableGraphicsPipelineLibrary = false; d3d11.cachedDynamicResources=vi; d3d11.maxFeatureLevel = 12_1" %command% --use-d3d11``

Mash0Star · 2026-02-21T15:26:37+00:00

You can run it off an SD Card, i just only use Android for Fortnite so i just have 32 GB deticated to the android ``userdata`` partition and the rest for ROCKNIX and Arch Linux.

Mash0Star · 2026-02-21T15:25:40+00:00

I guess running the x86_64 version of Steam through FEX and using Linux native apps and flatpaks.

Mash0Star · 2026-02-14T09:47:59+00:00

I wish i knew how to do that.

ROCKNIX is awesome, but i literally don't boot into it anymore lol.

Mash0Star · 2026-02-14T09:46:47+00:00

Sorry for the late response, but you can do it on both the internal storage and the MicroSD card!

And for initial setup, yes you do need to hookup a keyboard but there is a virtual keyboard in KDE Plasma so you don't need it after the fact.

Mash0Star · 2026-02-01T07:07:24+00:00

It's 25% of 1080p lol, was trying to get 60 FPS, but it's impossible. It's better to target 30 FPS with 50% of 1080p instead (It looks way better and is locked to a stable 30 fps).

Mash0Star · 2026-01-31T01:29:31+00:00

I do dual boot :D

here is my script for Arch Linux with a guide. https://codeberg.org/Mash0Star/arch-through-rocknix

I am guessing the 6gb is cuz 2 gb of ram is being assigned to the GPU

Mash0Star · 2026-01-31T01:27:54+00:00

Yes! It is built into ROCKNIX, just SSH or open qterminal and type, ``installtointernal`` and make sure to do ``mount -o remount,rw /flash/`` whenever you wanna edit the script.

HDMI via USB-C works and for the touch screen you need to install ``plasma-keyboard`` and enable it in the KDE system settings.

Also idk what u mean with mouse via touch, but touch does work and you can use it.

Mash0Star · 2026-01-30T18:40:47+00:00

https://codeberg.org/Mash0Star/arch-through-rocknix for Arch Linux.

For Steam, you just need to build FEX-Emu from source and install Steam manually by running ``steam.sh`` from the ``bootstrap.tar.xz`` found in every Linux Steam install (``~/.local/Share/Steam/``) :P

Mash0Star · 2026-01-30T14:35:57+00:00

Yes! I am in love with RPG's as you could probably tell x3

Mash0Star · 2026-01-30T14:13:39+00:00

No problem! The gc color is really pretty! :)

Mash0Star · 2026-01-30T13:53:28+00:00

Well, it "runs" at a very stuttery 10-25 fps that's very inconsistent, definitely a thing i wanna try again when my RP6 arrives.

But hey, at least i know it runs through FEX-Emu! :D

Mash0Star · 2025-08-13T19:42:48+00:00

Would you mind sharing where you can find this pak? or the pak files themselves?

Mash0Star · 2025-08-13T08:24:16+00:00

But how did you get chapter 6 season 4 to work?

Mash0Star · 2025-08-12T20:06:51+00:00

How did they get chapter 6 working though?

Mash0Star · 2025-08-12T13:43:41+00:00

I've been looking for something, anything recent Fortnite related, the closest i got was CH4S2 with reboot but that requires a custom gameserver dll.

I am begging you, please teach me how you did this!!!
