Knock knock, who's there? An *experimental* kernel package that works on both the OG #pinephone AND the #pinephonepro !
Great progress by @awai and Undef on unifying device-specific packages.
@lucasgonze Haha, true. The build quality on my ThinkPad is way better than the Dell XPS I had for a second.
The Framework is definitely interesting. I know it doesn't support coreboot, and has the Intel Management Engine (IME) enabled, which is a theoretical security concern, so that is something to consider if it is a factor in your decision.
According to @cassidyjames's excellent Dippy tool, the Framework's display may not work well for integer scaling. https://cassidyjames.com/dippi/?d=13.5&w=1504&h=2256&t=l
For anyone that may have stopped following BlackBerry news a decade ago, this is the first exciting BB-adjacent news in a long time: https://crackberry.com/exclusive-punkt-mc01-legend-post-blackberry-qwerty-phone-your-thumbs-deserve.
Are there any current Punkt phone owners out there?
@lucasgonze the StarLite MkIV definitely is not powerful enough to be a daily driver. I use it more as a secondary device. I have a colossal and beastly ThinkPad T15g Gen2 that I use day-to-day along with a 14” MacBook Pro. I dual-boot the ThinkPad with the rEFInd boot manager to game in Windows.
That ThinkPad is too heavy for daily use, but they have other Linux-friendly ThinkPads that are more reasonably sized. In addition to the StarFighter, the Frame.work is interesting.
