From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hopefully gphoto2 will run in this. It would make a less bulky intervalometer than the one I built with a raspberry pi and an attachable display.

I've been wanting a phone with a keyboard for a long time, I don't think I'll get this one (I specifically got a fairphone in part so I wouldn't have to think about buying a new phone for a couple of years) but I think that this could be really nice for some specific usecases that are underserved today.

Interesting I just saw another handheld Linux device on YouTube earlier today that is launching soon. Namely the Pilet. I’m kinda interested in something like this. Though I’m not sure for what.

Too bad it's packed full of features I don't care about and lacks ones I do.

These handhelds are cool but I think I'll skip this one.
