A ReMarkable 2 with the Folio keyboard is almost a whole ass computer. An eMacs-like development environment where buffers also had layers that could intermingle strokes with text and it would be perfect. I’d hack my own but I’m a little paranoid of bricking it with only one hardware button.

The ReMarkable 2 needs the proprietary Xochitl binary to update the screen (there's a shim, but it needs to be updated every time Xochitl updates), but the ReMarkable 1 doesn't have this problem, and already has a port of Parabola Linux, Parabola-RM (no WiFi due to Linux-libre, although you can compile it with them included): http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/ http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/ Plus, the ReMarkable 1 has a total of four hardware buttons, and is even 50g lighter! Plus it's power button doesn't get stuck.

  So the remarkable 1 is the objectively better device?

    Half as many cores, half the ram, and way less battery life due to higher power draw during suspend for some reason. It doesn't support the keyboard folio either. Depending on your criteria, one, or the other, is the better device.

  This is why I only hack on my RM1. Unfortunately the Folio keyboard doesn’t work with it. So it’s stuck being a tablet.

I put code-server[1] on a Linux box of mine, which gives me a whole proper IDE in the browser. I use it a lot on my Boox tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it works great. [1] https://github.com/coder/code-server https://github.com/coder/code-server

  how do you deal with latency when using the cursor? or do you not use the cursor? I tried this but latency with the cursor was annoying for me, so I just did termux with tmux so I can be keyboard-only.
