Your first point is hitting the nail on the head, and it's exactly why I backed this project on day 1. To other commenters: if you see this as "buying a phone that doesn't exist yet and won't for at least another year&qu

I've spent some time thinking about this, and for me (and a lot of other people I've talked with) the line in the sand is "enough for us to be able to build newer or versions of the userland and kernel." This does not re

As much as I like this project (or pipe dream, depending on your point of view), I think $695 is a much more realistic price for this device. I sincerely hope they succeed.

I recently made a toy project with QML. It was my first Qt experience and I think I'll be using QML for just about any GUI I want to create in the future, it's a really clean and nice way of working.

I use Linux Mint, and it has been running for a year now without maintenance. It was convenient to use and pretty to look at out of the box, and all my hardware worked. I assume the same is true for other Ubuntu derivatives and probably oth
