Somehow i wish @frameworkcomputer would create a mobile phone with full mainline Linux support like the #Librem5 aims to.
Like with current hardware.
They should also would fund development of the ecosystem (OS/apps/etc.).
We need a second player in the market and i think #FrameWork has a better network and reputation than purism.
#Pine64 is not it, because they release and forget about their products, sadly.
Finally a #convergence solution to my likings and needs. A pocketable machine that runs the OS I want ( #iusearchbtw ), looks how I want ( #sway#waybar#sxmo ), and does what I need (Citrix for work, Spotify on the web, and phone things).
Wrote a blog post about the first two months of my #pinephone Pro usage as a PDA and how I got around solving some initial hardware problems (spoiler: read the manual, then asked the support team).
I'm looking for a not-very-expensive tablet to use as a "feature-rich reader".
Requirements:
Cheaper than iPad
Bloat-free and updatable
9"-10"
So vendor android is unacceptable, iPad is too expensive, and I ended up with something from aliexpress with #lineageos support, but it seems that the only actual device is Pixel Tablet, which is rather expensive and I don't need such a screen, camera, and all.
So now I'm really thinking about #pinetab from #pine64 with waydroid.
I've been running NetBSD10_RC for months on my RockPro64 and only recently learned about using
/usr/sbin/schedctl -A 4,5
to force a process to use the faster CPUs. Hopefully this improves a daily ffmpeg job I have. #NetBSD#RockPro64#pine64
Today I'm attempting to exclusively use the Pinebook Pro (running Endless OS!) for work, and it has actually gone better than expected. At the same time, dang, we're still lacking in a few ways on ARM; notably, app availability! How is Firefox not available on Flathub for ARM64??
Endless OS 5.1 is available as a preview release for Pinebook Pro, now with more detailed instructions—including flashing to the internal eMMC! Give it a try and let us know what you think.
