We recently discovered that the #libcamera + #pipewire stack was actually broken on most distros for devices requiring an IPA - such as the #PinePhonePro and other mobile phones - when using distro-packages and not building either of the two projects from source.
#ArchLinux / #Manjaro and #Alpine / #postmarketOS have updates for that in the pipe now.
#debian got that fix a bit earlier already, #Fedora will likely follow soon.
tl;dr: the modern linux camera stack is slowly falling into place.
@rmader Now if only we had open source drivers for modern webcams and laptop cameras...
@Conan_Kudo yep, let's hope #libcamera can repeat the #mesa success story.
@rmader Does the community have the willpower now that it did 20 years ago with Mesa? I sure hope so...
