PineBook and PinePhone: Why I LOVE Them!

[@dontmindme8709]

I am very excited for the Pine note. From what I understand, many e-reader tablets don't have great software, instead it is something restrictive and tailor-made or more open like Android but which feels out of place. I really consider getting one.

I own several kindles and a few kobos and I can confirm: if you find something, then with luck something where someone just tinkered around and it's a debian install which is completely barebone.... the kindles are extemely locked down. on the other hand you can get them cheap second hand and there is a big jailbreaking community the kobos - if you are lucky - have an sd card instead of soldered on memory - so you can just use it like a raspberry pi. But like I said: nobody ever Programmed anything big on it. also the kobos just kind of suck hardware wise - especially the infrared touchscreen. (I have two kobo touches and a kobo mini)

not fully floss, but the Remarkable Tablets run Linux and qt as well

Pine64 is releasing their own e ink tablet

[@mskiptr]

@@houghwhite411 Yep, the PineNote really seem to blow all the competition out of the water. The quality, features, resolution, performance and even licenses are a no compromises lineup

[@-aexc-]

wait really? the only reason I didn't want a remarkable was the subscription and software

Great video. And thank you for keeping those clips at the end - that's happened to me soooo many times 😂

Get out. I don't even understand how youtube comment system didn't automatically flag this comment as violent and offensive

[@fred-youtube]

Fresh install the os, disable all the visual effects, set the compositor to xrender, run bleachbit often, set the governer to performance and it will run much faster

[@niccoloveslinux]

But I like the visual effects!

[@fred-youtube]

@@niccoloveslinux They slow it down, animations, blur etc arent needed

[@niru216]

@@fred-youtube o_o Aren't needed?? Maybe not for you but..the more impressive and cleaner things look, the better it feels when you use it And he's one of those in the visual design group and you're telling him the animations and blur aren't needed 😅😂

[@fred-youtube]

@@niru216 They're great if you have a dell optiplex grade pc or higher, but for low end laptops like this that are just a tablet in a laprop casing, it runs faster without visual effects

The bug in plasma-mobile, where simple settings, like a wifi connection are not remembered after reboot, really need urgent fixing to improve usability... I cannot code myself, but would be willing to support anyone who'd consider fixing this annoyance.

I'm getting Pine Phone in my first salary

just found this channel. huge potential GL!

[@idcrafter-cgi]

funfact thoose are both powered by the same allwinner A64 soc and the pinephone

[@jm036]

Lol the pinephone and pinebook are the same device in a different form factor. The motherboards are almost identical electrically.

I honestly like reviews by end-users the most (regardless of what they say). Thank you for showing appreciation for what we do - perhaps it is vain of me, but it is nice to hear that people enjoy what we do :)

[@hashdankhog8578]

Hi, are you guys ever going to get the pine book back in stock? I would love to use it and It has been out of stock for a while now.

Watching this on a pinebook pro

[@liquidebleu]

I love what does Pine64, but as for the Pinebook, the only obstacle of purchase (for me) is the qwerty keyboard only -_-

[@niccoloveslinux]

I'd suggest learning your layout by hearth, so you can use any keyboard without issue... as an example, I use DVORAK, but I'd never expect a PC to actually ship with that

[@SkysTrains]

I would love to see the arm laptop market come to life. But nope..

[@wcdeich4]

What Linux distro runs fastest on PinePhone BETA? Arch BareBone? postmarketOS Phosh? Nemo Mobile or..............?

[@TheBrainHacker888]

last part is the best

[@johncalorino675]

I want a PineTab for running with linux, but the specs just don't do it. 2 gigs of RAM don't do it for me, also 32 gigs on a daily driver is just unusable. I wanted it so bad as the Surface pro 4 will be my first tablet running Linux but I'm scared as the process looks very long and hard.

KDE should focus on developing software, not laptops. The big bezels look ugly, its much better to buy Dell Inspiron 7000 in aluminium chassis with a nice screen and install KDE on it. 2GB RAM is a joke in 2021 even for a phone or tablet. Pinephone should get the same components like powerfull flagship phone (Samsung, Oneplus) with a lot of RAM and good CPU and give user absolute control of his phone. Samsung introduced a "feature" which disables your camera if you unlock bootloader and trie to install different software. So Pinephone needs to have the power of flagship phones and freedom of Linux. This will be a formula to success.

[@houghwhite411]

The problem is the proprietary code on those processors. The core philosophy of Pine64 is open source even down to processor binaries.
