I am considering one of these as a substitute for my laptop. I have a proper setup at home and at my coworking space, with big displays keyboard and a mouse. The laptop is only carried around because of the CPU and disk.

If I find one of these with good specs, it could replace even my HTPC, because the same “brain” could be used everywhere.

Well, they don’t. I am on Linux and there is no point in arguing over “shoulds” unless you tell me that there is any other FOSS kernel that can support the hardware and software applications that I need.

Btw, it would be amazing to see @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org posting into this community. Let me know if you need any help to get interop between Lemmy and Mastodon.

If anyone from framework is listening to this: I’d be more than glad to give full control over this community to any of your social media staff

Yeah, I think that every product that innovates on the hardware fails to bring quality software to match.

The cool thing about the remarkable is that it is a ln actual computer running Linux. You can do a lot more than just write notes. You can write freely and run OCR, sync with your other devices via syncthing, etc. The one thing it needs is a bigger ecosystem of application developers. E.g, I’d love to see an actual collaborative board like Miro integrated with this, so that everyone could draw/write directly on their tablet and see changes from others in real-time.

It’s probably the Remarkable2. I paid 300€ on mine IIRC.

Are you sure? Because I have a couple of older phones that were USB-C and their port was the first thing to fail…

Nice to read more people are enjoying it. What new feature got you to feel like this?

Sure :) Like I said, pretty easy: https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3

Yeah, I installed /e/OS on my FP3 and it was quite easy to install and update it. You won’t be able to run stuff that depends exclusively on Google Play services (most notably banking apps) and for a while I had some issues to get a stable GPS (fixed later at some point), but aside from that I was happy with it.

I don’t know if the advice I’m about to give is good, but I did have my RM2 refusing to start after a drained battery which I managed to recover by leaving it overnight connected to a higher-amp charger.
