xfce4 on postmarketOS on ASUS TF700T (Tegra T30 4x1.7GHz arm32, 1GB RAM). i3 or other tiling wm would probably be a better choice for this hardware, but it’s a tablet convertible so I wanted the touch features.

youtube-tui in xterm because that’s the only thing with working sixel support on this architecture. Playback works in 230p (driver issue).

I may eventually challenge myself to use nothing but this as a daily for a month or something. It’s surprisingly functional for a ten year old machine with partial hardware support.

    I’ve been tinkering with pmOS for a few days, trying to fix some issues with my old oneplus3t

    I’m still far from being able to daily drive it (trying to launch an X server crashes the whole thing, some physical buttons are not detected, and I rely on a dirty hack to even get the onscreen tty to refresh) but it has been a really interesting learning journey.

      It’s worth it to get on the pmOS matrix if you haven’t already. I had to do some troubleshooting with the u-boot port developer to get this up and running.

    Very interesting!

    Does Konsole not compile for arm32? It does support pixel quite well but it might pull in too much of the KDE frameworks.

    Nice! I really want to get PMOS setup to do NAS duties but I can’t find the sweet spot of a device that’s both cheap and supported, and has fast enough USB speeds to be worth it. Seems like it would be a fun project to tinker with though.
