I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.

I’m very interested in these.

That’s only for minorities and poor people.

My understanding is that they are making new version based on opengamepadUI. I made a video playing around with it on a steamdeck running EndeavorOS with opengamepadUI installed as a DE. It’s very alpha so IDK how it’s going to work for them. https://makertube.net/w/1JtXgbupmgcjJbRD4o7Wpa

It’s $500 for a 7840u. It’s not bad IMO. https://neo.manjaro.org/#specs

I’m excited for this handheld. I’m planning on picking one up just to support more foss based hardware.

If anyone is interested in a similar project check out open-game-pad-ui. It features a plug system for stores. Right now there is only steam and flatpak but eventually there could be other stores. It’s really not ready to be daily drive but it is functional.
