Hrm... #NetBSD #MNT RK3588 Pocket Reform

@popey I purchased a Pocket Reform from #MNT and am waiting for delivery. I had played with their machines before for many friends have them and I think they align with my values.

If I was not getting it from them, I'd probably either go with #System76 or get an used #Thinkpad.

I got a Surface Go running Fedora, but that is not what I recommend to people, it is kinda painful.

If you haven't tried the #fish #shell yet, maybe give it a try. I spent *a lot* of effort to configure #zsh with automatic command completion, fuzzy history search, git integration, completion suggestions and so on (even configured #atuin). But since I now switched to another computer (RK3588 #MNT Reform) I just apt get installed fish on this new setup and I'm a bit puzzled because it seems that it does everything i want — out of the box? Zero configuration? Wow 😍

@rickyx @mntmn thanks for your answer <3! I didn't consider the processor architecture and coudn't find a webpage listing software which is available for arm's.. Do you know some? Blender works but the renderer cycles not?

Is the #mnt next or #mntreform enough to cut simple video projects?

@ben @drscream @armbian I didn't personally consider #armbian integration for #MNT devices, no. My own goal is to make the MNT Debian package repository obsolete. It should be possible to install vanilla Debian on MNT laptops just as one would install Debian on any other machine. That's why I built https://reform.debian.net where one can download a slightly patched debian-installer. That being said: I will support anybody who wants to add armbian support for MNT laptops. More diversity is good!

MNT Station : un châssis pour la carte opensource
L'aventure de MNT Reform ne s'arrête pas et la MNT Station veut poursuivre cet effort d'un PC opensource qui traverse le temps..

Checking to see if anything has changed with #Framework and #Omarchy and just finding YouTube videos of white guys with beards justifying Framework collaborating with straight-up Nazis and dismissing the concerns of "leftists." As much as I want that new Framework laptop, there's no way I'm going to buy from a company that feels comfortable doing business with unabashed white supremacists. Too bad the #MNT Reform is way beyond my budget.

This is the year I really need to order a #MNT Reform or #MNT Pocket Reform but I still can’t decide which one fits better #mntreform

So #Bitwig supports Apple's arm-based architecture for macos and at least has/had beta support for Windows 11 on arm, but famously portable Linux only gets supported on x86_64. This was more of an academic point when I initially complained about this (half a decade ago) because I was picturing running a stripped down stem-only project on a raspi. But arm-based Linux laptops and gaming consoles are making more and more sense as time goes on. I want to some day run Bitwig on an #MNT dammit!

http://reform.debian.net is back from the dead after 4 months of a break due to a missing stable backport of reform-tools (got removed from testing because of unrelated RC bugs). There is a load of new features for those who use kernel 7.1.3 and reform-tools 1.88 from trixie-backports:

* QUASAR (Qualcomm QCS6490 and QCS8550)
* Reform Next
* MNT Station
* mnt-sc module for Pocket sysctl 2.0
* EFI booting
* allow no flash-kernel
* hardware video decoding (RK3588)

heh... UPS lost my #mnt pocket yesterday and then found it after a lot of phone calls with them... only for the next courier who delivers it the last part of the journey to lose it...

I have no idea where it is.

:(

managed to replace a bad 100pin B2B connector in an RK3588 SoM at #MNT today! was excited to see it actually worked and the high-speed PCI connection was still available

my pocket cutie was finally delivered to armenia!!!

Has anyone made a playlist of music made on #MNT hardware? If you know of any tracks specifically made on the Reform or Pocket Reform can you please share them with me?

The keyboard from the MNT Pocket Reform mini-laptop is now available as a standalone device. It's a compact mechanical, ortholinear keyboard with support for swappable keycaps, RGB backlighting, a tiny trackball, a little OLED screen and USB-C connector. https://mastodon.social/@mntmn/116969445180655867 #MNTPocketReform #MNT #Keyboard

The MNT earrings were amazing for the #underscores concert a while back (though basically fully lit up when it was loud). #mnt

Ich hatte neulich das Glück einen gebrauchten MNT Reform Laptop ergattern zu können. Das Gerät ist zwar recht teuer und hat ein paar Ecken und Kanten, aber funktioniert ziemlich gut. Ich hatte auch schon lange nicht mehr so viel Spaß mit Computern: Freie Hard- und Software laden so viel mehr zum Probieren ein, Probleme lassen sich mit Schaltplänen und Quellcode verstehen, Debian mit Gnome ist echt brauchbar und die Flatpak Apps von Flathub sind super schick! #mnt #mntreform

If I had indefinite amounts of money I would pay #mnt to make a retro-gaming version of pocket reform where you would plug processor modules in like SNES cartridges.

Or maybe a C64 form factor would be better, with cartridges plugging in to the side.

Something like that.

Hey, does anyone on the #mnt community know where I can find the updated MNT camera sources? I already made a post here https://community.mnt.re/t/mnt-camera-firmware-updated-cad/4393 but I figured I'd post here to get more eyes on it. I have a few interviews coming up and want to finally use this instead of my crappy laptop camera but I can't seem to get the camera controls working and the firmware and some stuff like the lens cap I can't seem to find anywhere.

Wow, the open hardware #MNT Reform camera is really cute and tiny! I love that (in contrast to my current webcam) it has a UNC 1/4 inch mount so that I can put it on a tripod to record my lectures better. This is also the first time that I made a video recording in 2592x1944. The manual focus is also just what I wanted and it's made from CNC milled aluminum! Additionally, as you can see in the photo, I have painted my nails again. My daughter (5) commented: "Daddy, that red color so strong!" ♥️

@ch2500 I just triggered the #MNT reform-system-image pipeline with systemd (= 261~rc3-1) which is run inside mmdebstrap chroot inside privileged docker on an Ampere VPS and that worked fine. What is it doing differently?

Unix: Amix graphics card driver for MNT VA2000

Amix, Commodore's Amiga Unix, can now also utilize the MNT VA2000 graphics card. The project consists of two parts: the driver itself and an X11R5 server with the corresponding RTG support.

In addition to Amiga Unix version 2.1, firmware version 1.9.0 beta 2 is required for the graphics card operating in Zorro II mode.

Next step for the #MNT Reform Keyboard 4.0 trackstick mod: The Sprintek SK8707-01-005 works well with a RP2040 flashed with QMK. Thanks to @gordon I found the magic patch which made it work very smoothly. Link to that patch and my full diff to QMK here: https://github.com/josch/qmk_firmware/commit/56d908063fc2641c6257c13ad23b8f072cb37579

Great news and a good hardware company. I just bought a monitor from them to send some money their way until I need my next Linux computer.
