That’s sad 😢

I heard that the antenna issue can be fixed manually, but it’s not an easy fix.

This is weird. I saw an announcement on Discord that they finished shipping all devices in November 2024.

Yes, this managed to ship all devices in November 2024.

You can run Droidian, which is galium-based (special Android compatibility layer to talk to hardware).

Running on mainline is also possible, but the support is not great. Here is the PMOS page.

Yeah, I heard that many units have antenna issue. Before buying I asked the seller to test it for me. My unit was unaffected by the issue.

Yeah, the situation with the company is not great.

Big thanks to the guy keeping lineage working on it!

There actually 4 maintainers for this device! It was a surprise for me. Usually it’s 1 guy.

I considered their Astra or Communicator, but they don’t support LineageOS, which is important to me.

True 😥 Did you broke yours?

Yeah…

I wish companies produce more phones like this.

Try looking at their unofficial Discord server. It’s usually cheaper then on eBay. But ask to test the antenna, some units have issues with that.

Same. But recently I managed to buy almost new for 300 EUR.

I only recently started using it, so maybe later I will make a post about it :)

I use Neovim, love their Lua direction.

Yep, and for anyone who curious why it’s not actually decentralized, I highly suggest to read this thread from someone who worked on ActivityPub:

On Mastodon in settings you need to enable your account discoverability. Otherwise people will see you only if they know about you. This is weird default and my main complain about Mastodon :(

Mostly sculpting, less rendering. So yeah, we aren’t GPU bound. Right now considering just a mini PC. Should be cheaper then a latpop since we don’t planning to work on the go, just need something portable. And a tablet for drawing.

That’s exactly what I planning to use on travel 😅

I don’t planning to work on the go, just wanted a portable PC.

We are considering just a portable PC for her and a tablet for drawing right now…

Thanks for the suggestion, eGPU sounds nice!

We don’t planning to actually work on the go, just planning to travel a lot. eGPU could be considered portable. Maybe we even don’t need a laptop, just a mini PC 🤔

Didn’t know about them, cool!

First time hear about it, but sounds very cool!

I’d actually recommend you to consider the whereabouts of the respective support centers before you buy a device

Totally agree, I take this into consideration. Tuxedo is very attractive to me because we planning to visit Germany personally. But I will take a look at NovaCustom as well since it’s in EU.

From Star Labs their StarLite tablet looks very attractive. Right now I considering buying a tablet for drawing and a laptop for 3D modeling instead of 2-in-1.

Agree! That’s why we are looking for something for a manufacturer support. We don’t consider used market only because thinking about something powerful.

I have a SteamDeck and very satisfied with how GNU/Linux runs on it. Windows even run worse on it 😅

Thanks, will take a look!

We looked for convertible because planning to travel a lot. But judging by what others say, it’s probably better to have a dedicated device for drawing…
