@ramob @chainbits I have colleagues who have either the Remarkable or an Onyx Boox device and basically everyone prefers the Onyx

This blew our socks off - #PineNote 's e-paper display now works on mainline #linux ! 🎉

Thanks to Samuel Holland (https://github.com/smaeul) as well as other contributors for this incredible achievement.

We're running a poll on our website to learn more about the #pinephone community. It is 9 questions long and shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to fill in.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

@PINE64
Alright. Enough already with the cool "I must have one no matter if I need it or not" new products. Stop it. Stop. It!

... Pretty please?

😜

@PINE64 the PineNote… thank you for ensuring I don’t spend money on a Remarkable or an iPad mini, brilliant!

> I’m sure some of you lunatics will also use it for terminal work and other such applications – godspeed and have fun with it, you’ve got our blessing.

Haha yeah absolutely, an e-ink screen seems great for terminal work and reducing eye-strain because you do not get either too much light in your face or not enough.

Megi's #PinePhone kernel updates bring battery life, performance improvements

https://linuxsmartphones.com/megis-pinephone-kernel-updates-bring-battery-life-performance-improvements/

To anyone interested in the #Pinephone, or even the #Librem5 and #Linux #smartphones in general, we owe a huge debt of gratitude imo to #Megi.

He's not employed to do this, but donates hundreds of his own personal hours helping to get the hardware working, increase battery life (over and over) and generally make a huge amount of the smartphone progress we've seen, happen.

I'm personally extremely grateful and encourage everyone to donate at the bottom of his page here:
https://xnux.eu/contribute.html

Some big improvements for the #pinephone !
