Each year at #fosdem I have this same feeling: so many interesting topics, so many agenda collision (and so many fully booked rooms...) 😱😱

#PineTab2 is coming

It*s a #Linux #tablet with #keyboard for $159: https://www.pine64.org/2023/03/01/february-update-things-are-taking-shape/

  • #PineTab will be available in two SKUs: 4GB RAM / 64GB eMMC & 8GB RAM / 128 eMMC
  • #ARM #CPU #Rockchip #RK3566 with four #Cortex-A55
  • Micro #HDMI, 2x USB-C (3.2 & 2.0), MicroSD slot
  • Pricing: 4GB/64GB version USD $159 & 8GB/128GB version $209
  • First impression of the PineTab2 – most refined Linux-capable hardware from #PINE64; very high quality all around and a major step-up from the original
  • PineTab2’s keyboard impressions – very good keyboard, sturdy and hefty stand and solid key backlight
  • PineTab2 software more mature than many of you expect – thanks to the work on Quartz64 and SOQuartz by the community; only a few bits missing
  • #FOSDEM demo ran #DanctNix #Arch + #KDE Plasma Desktop and was well received
  • Launch window – sometime in April, but no promises

It's the 4th presentation here at #fosdem which include this #xkcd drawing. I guess that people start to understand that the way #foss software are maintained is bad. So what do we do about it now?
