    It looks cool and all, but its probably going to have like 400mb of ram and an rp2040 like every other linux handheld device.

        Not for 2025, sorry.

        My phone has 16 GB of RAM, 3 GB is ridiculous, especially with the modern web.

          With 640x480 screen i doubt it’ll be used for web browsing, unless you use lynx. Firefox in a pinch, but my guess is this will appeal mostly to Linux terminal users.

            yeah people arguing about the usefulness of this thing clearly aren’t the target audience

            And they should just accept that lol

          It’s a small indie company and $150. Be reasonable

            Would you buy one that is? (assume the specs that this thing has, also consider that your answer has to be valid when you eventually get it in 5 years or so)

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.
