Still a lot of unfinished styling/animations, and several apps can’t yet utilize the OSK, but so far I’m liking this GNOME far better than vanilla on the PT2. Installed on Danctnix via gnome-mobile-shell from the AUR.
So I got my pinetab2 a few weeks ago. I am going to leave aside for a moment the absolute hell it was to get this thing. How it arrived broken and how I had to argue with support for a week to get a replacement. Now that I have it and have been playing around I must say it’s sorta decent....
I purchased a PBP not long ago to replace my Acer Aspire 5742Z (~2010). Thought to share my use case and impressions to give others who are still on the fence after all these years a sense of how it holds up in 2023....
So I have been using the pinetab 2 for about 6 months or so on and off. Mostly off to be honest. My final thoughts are that I can’t really recommend this device to basically anyone. Even as a power user and someone that does software development I can say this device is a slog....

Of all the browsers I tried, the most productive was qutebrowser, and I noticed that it is the only one where multithreading works properly. But at...
I bought a Pinephone out of curiosity and while it has been fun to play with, I am looking to repurpose it to something else. Has anyone found a good use for it, maybe incorporated into a smart home setup or something along those lines?
Has anyone had any luck building a NAS with a PCIE adapter giving 4 SATA interfaces? I want to move away from my Synology box in favor of the Pine64 solution, but the guides I’m reading all talk about a dual-PCIE-SATA card....
I recently got my PineTime, and so far it’s a very cool gadget, especially for the price. However, it is giving me every notification twice. Anyone know if there’s a way to fix this? Currently running Infinitime 1.13.0 connected to an Android phone via GadgetBridge. It is only happening with some notifications… But so far...
I find that the brick is so heavy and the connection point doesn’t fit very snug, and the power plug falls out quite easily. Anyone else experience this?
