@cas well to get it to boot i just had to chroot and add
"sudo apk fix linux-next" and to get the display to not be laggy i had to edit the linux next package to use 20250714.
none of that fixed it from dismounting the usb boot drive at start up though, so i just used the ubuntu concept image to install it to disk

@angelthorns @cas Nice! Does audio work now? I tried Ubuntu concept build sometime back but that had no audio support. I hope things have changed upstream since then.

@angelthorns this is awesome! What is battery life like on it?

@angelthorns I'd consider buying one if they didn't come with a $300USD island tax (Australia).

@angelthorns

hiii, I’m considering getting such a device to use with Linux. The pmOS wiki says HDMI works, but this does not have an HDMI port so does that mean it works with USB-C Alt-Modes or in some other way? Or does external display output just not work since there is no dedicated HDMI port?
