Fedora turns 40, Ubuntu gets longer, Thunderbird makes an exchange, and someone’s working on another #Linux tablet.

I really hope #Volla can pull it off. They're surely in a better position for it than most. It'd be even better if they could ship their stuff to US or JP.

These days I've all but given up on dedicated #linux tablets/phones. Even though we have loads of em that are capable of running #postmarketOS, most of em still fall short of usable most of the time. The only folks who seem to have nailed the linux handheld experience is the #SailfishOS team. But of course there's a problem with that'n as well; if you're outside the EU, you'll have to suffer the trimmed-down DIY version of it.

These days I've found it much more practical to run something in a #chroot environment within #termux. I runs quite well on nearly any #android capable device via #proot, or even better in a proper chroot on a rooted one.

@eshep You're not wrong. I shall remain perpetually optimistic.

My "Linux tablet" in 2024 is Android with ssh.

Still, I would like something like a PineTab... but good.

I winder how much trouble could it be to build a tablet from normal stuff? Beefy small SBCs, decent touchscreens, and thin batrees aint exactly hard to find... I really gotta get around to startin this one day. 😀
