slightly off-topic...:
A major 1st world problem I'm having is streaming the output from superior Nokia phone camera hardware to a video input in the free and open sourced world. Microsoft managed to burn the Nokia house completely down during Emperor Balmers late reign so there aren't really any apps to choose from or native USB transfer methods. And none of the mobile browsers available work with Jitsi.
Trying out Steam Link later without much hope (in-house gaming something, a VNC like protocol for connecting devices inside LAN). The prior Nokia flagship had HDMI output which would require a USB HDMI capture card in the Linux PC.
Wandering the FLOSS garden I found this bed of roses:
http://www.gphoto.org/
gPhoto2 is a free, redistributable, ready to use set of digital camera software applications for Unix-like systems, written by a whole team of dedicated volunteers around the world. It supports more than 2700 cameras and media players
gPhoto2 runs on a large range of UNIX-like operating system, including Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, MacOS X, etc. gPhoto is provided by major Linux distributions like Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, etc.
So if you find a functioning, used camera in your drawer or in the 2nd hand store look up the model in
gphoto's list, if compatible you have a nice webcam for chats and streams and such.
