I just installed Postmarket OS on my Arm based Chromebook, to be able to switch to Firefox.

“There is always money in the banana stand” is from the TV series Arrested Development. Personally I prefer to turn incoming video off during meetings, as I find it distracting.
They might be cheaper elsewhere in the world, but here in Denmark, a Surface Duo 2 costs over 13k DKK, which is 2½ times as much as I paid for my Samsung S22 - and that was for a bundle including a Galaxy A8 tablet. I don’t feel like I would get enough extra usability to justify that cost difference, and I would be too afraid of breaking it.
Let’s hope so. I would really like a RPi4 to play with, but without a really good use case, I can’t justify the cost to myself.
Phones were already too expensive and prone to breaking without introducing foldables, so I don’t see the appeal. If it wasn’t so slow and expensive, I think I would have considered the original surface duo, as I prefer durability over a seamless screen. The new one with the camera bump, I don’t like the look of.
It’s certainly happening a lot faster than I expected. It will be interesting to see how the stability of rust drivers will be. Prior to reading the write-up of why the GPU drivers for the M1 silicon was written in Rust, I could not see how it would be beneficial to introduce a new point of failure by adding Rust support in the kernel, but now I think it’s a good idea to slowly migrate in that direction. It just means that I will have to teach myself Rust sooner or later.
Looks like it is supported in Postmarket os. I just installed that on a Lenovo Duet arm based Chromebook.
