The mass exodus from to (and ) due to and continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).

MiniDebConf Berlin 2024 group photo is now on the www.debian.org front page (the second photo of the slide-show).

But hold on! I need to know where I can get this amazing black T-shirt with the fabulous pink zigzag logo that the person on the bottom left is wearing!!

i made some illustrations for the mnt pocket reform handbook -- check it out! 💫

https://mntre.com/documentation/pocket-reform-handbook.pdf

ps: a printed version of the book will be produced this week!

@mntmn

b/w line art illustration (white on black). two people are sitting in a cafe, they both have an mnt pocket reform. there's a cat chilling on a chair. long bulbs are hanging from the ceiling. the furniture has a retro vibe, the people look contemporary or even a bit futuristic.
b/w line art illustration (white on black). a laboratory. a person in a lab coat is typing on their pocket reform. they are surrounded by flasks, a microscope and miscellaneous lab equipment.
b/w line art illustration (white on black). people on the subway. the two people in the front are looking at their pocket reforms. there's a small graffiti of a cute creature on the wall, as well as a drawing that resembles the side eyes emoji.

Ok -- digiKam is EXCELLENT photo management software. I've got about 10 hours in on tagging, which is just tedious but straightforward and necessary work.

I'm doing all my "road trip" photos first, about 1600. I feel like I know them better now and some tests of locating things is a big success.

A lot of care has gone into data integrity. Built in code for migrating and exporting databases. This is lovely stuff. I'm now a huge fan and kinda awed that this is free software.

@mntmn: MNT Pocket Reform arrived - connected to 9front via drawterm:

• http://9lab.org/plan9/mnt-pocket-reform-arrived/

…no native 9front install yet; hopefully 'soon'…

The #trackball is really the best pointer of a laptop. Scrolling with the trackball is just great.
I really wish more laptops have them. @tuxedocomputers please release a machin with trackball ;) #mntreform

can't wait for people's MNT Pocket Reform unboxing pics and videos! i just heard from the first person who received one.

jirka,

@mntmn Now :-)

Only must find a proper USB-C adapter - the Reform refuses to charge from smaller ones (of course). The battery has only 16% when arrived. So, postponed to tomorrow (when the new adapter will arrive).

First thing I did after init setup: install rust :-)

First impression: wonderful. Love keyboard. Love screen. Love aesthetics. Haptics great (love the feel with my finger tips). More to come...

@mntmn Wow! Just wow! This is the coolest, cutest thing ever! Thank you so much for building this. ❤️

@mntmn ❤️💻❤️ ...and so beautifully packaged! sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade persuaded me to not upgrade gpg2 and tmux, but wifi still works after first reboot. None of my Apple laptop/ipad/phone or assorted no name chargers worked... except my multiport GAN which I tried last 😅

A Reform laptop serving as router for a Macintosh IIcx, 10Base2 power! Setup by @vkoskiv, the Reform is apparently his daily driver! Spotted at , cc: @mntmn

Slowly chipping away at making a MNT Pocket Reform keyboard. Love that there's a spot for a 3v3 power regulator and powering the sucker via USB. No PCB changes needed :D

Turns out that at https://fkcaps.com/custom/ I can buy custom color and custom label low-profile keycaps for the kailh choc brown switches of my MNT Reform open hardware laptop. I might've gone a bit overboard but I really like how colorful my keyboard is now and how easy it is to make the Reform my very own custom computer. 💻 ❤️

Thanks so much for all your CAD recommendations! I absolutely fell in love with ✨solvespace ✨

I'm curious about the choice of batteries in the MNT Reform. Is it something to do with better life? Repairability (looks like it for sure)?

jalcine,
@jalcine@todon.eu avatar

You know, at first look, https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform is expensive.

But I think this is one of those "you get what you pay for". My laptop is out of stock (https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-11-gen-intel?q=processor) and is probably about $700.

But the Reform will probably last longer than my laptop even with repair costs (as the parts for it will be cheaper; my current display, core and storage will be more expensive per part than needing to upgrade that with the reform)

On a related note: it feels really good to get the FreeCAD port (the source of truth going forward, shifting over from @ErinRose's excellent efforts in Fusion) done with reference PCBs, fittings, and fixings, with the technical drawings (to make sure the tolerances are dialled in) the only important part still in flight.

As the previous pic, but with the front case-half removed, showing the faceplate PCB, a bit of the main PCB underneath, and the 6mm standoffs separating them.
As the previous pic, but with the faceplate PCB removed, showing the main PCB underneath, the switch on the opposite, more of the SD card cap, and the screws poking through from the back.
As before, but just the outer shell, showing some of the inner details (such as the inner pockets allowing the buttons to be pressed and the switch to slide).
