I should really add more devices to my etnaviv boardfarm soon. Manual testing feels kind of weird right now.

Maybe this weekend. 🛠️

What does this MR do and why?

One of the (many) things that I appreciate about the #MNTReform is it's use of LiFePO4 cells -- my solar power station dabbling has really underscored how good that particular chemistry is on multiple fronts. I know why the mainstream laptop industry doesn't use it, but I'm really happy to have a laptop which does! And individual cells, so I can swap them as needed!

The AI Bubble can't burst soon enough. I just checked the price for the RK3588 SoM for the MNT Reform, and, well, I should have upgraded my laptop last year...

@austriancoder Wow, great to hear! Although I do not understand all the technical details of what you are working on, I'm following your work with high interest. And I'm not the only one :-)

GLES 3.0 for Librem 5

I just created this thread to track GLES3.0 development for Librem 5. Christian Gmeiner Hi @austriancoder any news for GLES3.0 for Free Software Etnaviv driver for Librem 5 GPU? Thank you.

Purism community

I am transforming a ~7month old wip branch into something upstream-able. Lot more GLES3 tests are passing with these commits. But I need to spend some more hours to test 2-3 different GPU models, before I will create a MR.

I haven't posted recently how awesome my #MNTReform is.

Let me just say, with the rk3588 cpu, it's been an absolute joy to use. I've had it for a year and change, and It was fun assembling it, upgrading it, learning how to service it, it's been fun interacting with the community and the company and their people.

Just joyful computing for me.

I've broken it in various ways over that period and been able to fix it myself every time. This is amazing. 💚

I think my favorite accessory for my #MNTReform is probably my Wacom Movink drawing display.

It's ridiculously portable, and with the "combo box" and some short cables, it's _nearly_ a 1-cable from near the reform.

I can't really get away with the gnome on screen keyboard, and I don't like/am not comfortable enough with phosh to go wholly keyboardless, but the touch screen and colors are nice.

It's really pricey for what you get, but it's really nice if you're willing to spend.
