Although Linux may be more than a few steps away as FxTec announced in their last newsletters they will ship with stock Android, even if you elected LinageOS or Ubuntu Touch.

I am just having issues with Mobian right now where the window manager runs slow and crashes with the KB snapped on. I would also prefer a slider but the clamshell also has a large 2nd battery and room to add I2c stuff inside.

Once I can get the kb working in Mobian I will be back in my pocket Linux with hardware keyboard situation I have had since about y2k with my first Sharp Zaurus SL-5500.
