Just a reminder that that many Kobo devices can run PostmarketOS pretty well. I wrote this interface especially for my Kobo Clara HD: https://github.com/bjesus/

- summm 3y agoYes, but also a reminder that those older, well supported ones are Freescale i.mx. After that, Kobo used Allwinner from sunxi (who have a general history of GPL violations) and now something from Mediatek (who had a history of not providing good driver update support). Those are likely completely different, might need a lot of new work to properly get a kernel running on, let alone mainline. Who knows if the bootloader can even be unlocked this time?
- sriacha 3y agoAre you doing anything cool to take advantage of running PostmarketOS? I've thought for a while it would be nice to have a simple writing environment on my clara HD with an external keyboard. There's also this interesting project: https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill
- yoavm 3y agoI used it a few time to VNC into a virtual screen to have my laptop terminal on an e-ink screen. It can even run Firefox, though very slowly. Gopher websites work way better. It's a complete Linux system and most things work just fine!
