@dylanvanassche@fosstodon.org's merge request to use usb-moded from #sailfishos just landed in postmarketOS edge.
"Devices running GNOME Mobile, Phosh, and Plasma Mobile received a new USB stack based upon usb-moded which is more robust compared to the original stack:
- Netboot works again which regressed with supporting USB tethering.
- Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is now available for users to access files of their device. See pmaports#646.
- USB access is disabled by default, increasing security. Only after enabling the right mode, SSH/MTP/... functionality will be available as usual. In host mode, nothing is changed.
- Once you connect the device over USB to your computer, a notification will pop up asking which USB mode you want to enable, defaulting to charging only.
- Opens the path to other USB modes through FunctionFS.
When you plug in your device, a notification will be generated allowing you to select the USB mode you prefer"
Thanks @dylanvanassche@fosstodon.org and everybody who reviewed and tested! ❤️
