  Yeah, but is this Slashdot?
  • davesque 11y ago
    Is that really only a Slashdot question?

    If this was Slashdot, we'd be asking if you could imagine a beowulf cluster of these.

  I would love to see how Gnome 3 would work on a device like this.

  A valid question. I'm currently running Linux on a MacBook Pro for work, but it always seems like an uphill battle to get it installed. I'd like to have a PC laptop similar in form factor to this Matebook instead, but not if it's even harder to get Linux onto it than a MacBook.

    The Matebook has actually the Surface Pro form factor - 12", 3:2 ratio, and cover keyboard. Speaking of Linux compatibility, the Surface Pro 3, although one generation behind, is now suitable for daily usage (not perfect, but with deterministic behavior, and arguably acceptable limits).
