This. To be fair that info is very hard to discover on the website (I looked it up in the docs code that generates the website because I found that easier to parse like a database of all models). I own an L10 and am very happily running valetudo on it. Someone should make a business out of selling them pre-flashed with valetudo for a less technical audience…

> Someone should make a business out of selling them pre-flashed with valetudo for a less technical audience… Please don't. Attracting a less technical audience to the project would be immensely harmful to it. It is already quite difficult to deal with issues that technical people might have. You simply do not want everyone to use your open source project. There is also no point in doing so. Why would one want to make their own life harder?

  I don't know if by "make their own life harder" you mean the maintainer (you) or the user, but, as a user, valetudo has saved me. The original Xiaomi app is buggy, slow, and phones home, but Valetudo just works locally. It's amazing, thank you!

> Someone should make a business out of selling them pre-flashed with valetudo for a less technical audience… From Why Valetudo[0]: First of all, please do not try to convince people to use Valetudo. We all know how terribly it usually turns out when people try to convince their friends to use linux on their desktop. Using Valetudo only makes sense if you understand its goals and feel like they are important to you. Everything else will fail. It is perfectly fine to continue using the cloud if you don’t really care about its downsides. Do not flame people for doing that. You can be a bit snarky about downtimes, lag and other cloud shenanigans though :) [0] https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/why-valetudo.html https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/why-valetudo.html
