Re: What to get to replace my N900?

Yeah, I'm doubtful whether I'd buy one myself indeed. That doesn't mean it's not for everyone though, and since I don't know your exact preferred use case I thought I'd at least mention it, since it...

Re: What to get to replace my N900?

Is the Astro Slide maybe worth looking into for you?

Re: A good modular laptop for Linux in 2021

Is one of the XMG laptops for you, maybe? They make/sell laptops based off of Clevo designs. This one seems to tick a lot of your boxes if I'm not mistaking: https://bestware.com/en/xmg-apex-15.html

Re: Planet Astro Slide

Hey Bob,

You mean you're doubtful whether they would refund your pledge for the Astro? Because as I understand it they should, the campaign still lasts 36 days before it's "locked" (which is why I...

Re: Planet Astro Slide

I backed it, then asked for a refund after I read up a bit on their past campaigns. Their reputation for supporting previous devices (Gemini, Cosmo) is just ****.

Supposedly they completely...

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement

That's actually not true, for now the main targeted devices are still Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid 4. The Pinephone is indeed a targeted device as well since it is relatively easy to get an...

Re: FOSS phone roundup

I would interpret 'FOSS phone' as described in the OP as 'Mainline Linux compatible phone' or 'Open source OS compatible phone'... :) which would make sense considering the listed phones.

Re: PinePhone $149 Linux smartphone could support Ubuntu, Sailfish, Maemo, LuneOS and more

I'm not actually sure if x264 and x265 are supported, I'd have to test specifically :) However I can say that the video's I've tried play back nicely, both local video files and Youtube video's...

Re: PinePhone $149 Linux smartphone could support Ubuntu, Sailfish, Maemo, LuneOS and more

Awesome :) Curious what your experience with the different devices will be, and which you will be using most! ;)

Re: PinePhone $149 Linux smartphone could support Ubuntu, Sailfish, Maemo, LuneOS and more

Manjaro KDE on the Pinebook Pro does include hardware video playback :) I haven't tested other OS images though. No need, since Manjaro works so well!



Yeah, Pinebook Pro has a different SOC,...

Re: PinePhone $149 Linux smartphone could support Ubuntu, Sailfish, Maemo, LuneOS and more

I think everything you say is true, but I would like to add my personal experience with Pine64 to offer another perspective.

Re: Purism Librem Phone

Hi mscion, as I also cancelled my preorder a couple of months back I might as well tell you.

You simply write an e-mail requesting cancellation of your preorder. I also included the order number,...

Re: Are you Ready? F(x)tec Pro 1 HW Keyboard Phone

Yeah, I think I'm going to wait for either the Dogwood (January 7th – March 31st) or Evergreen (Q2 2020) release, too. Hopefully the 'teething pains' will be ironed out by then. Also, the latter...

"soft nano-explosion-proof membrane" :D :D

So if you'd ever get caught in an explosion, your Pro1 will survive... Or at least the screen protector ;)

Re: Are you Ready? F(x)tec Pro 1 HW Keyboard Phone

Ah, did not know that. Since FxTec are making the Android modifications themselves (that I am aware of, at least) I thought maybe they would do so for LineageOS as well.



I agree :)
