StarFighter Linux laptop with detachable webcam and premium specs is finally shipping
Star Labs has been selling Linux laptops and mini PCs since 2017. While most of the company’s products have featured budget or mid-range hardware, Star Labs introduced a premium laptop called the StarFighter in 2022… and then never managed to ship that laptop. Until now.

@RootMoose yes, thanks. i was looking at this same one. couldn't quite tell if it's a 2in1 or a tablet w/ an attachable keyboard. tho if it's powerful enough, i guess it doesn't matter
Anyone have any experience w/ #StarLabs #StarLite laptop/tablet?

@pganssle It might depend on where you are located:
#System76 within US
#starlabs within UK
#tuxedocomputers or #slibmook in EU

@itsfoss Give her a new laptop with #LinuxPreinstalled, and then see!

I have a @starlabssystems Starlite MK V and I want Gnome to go into the "Tablet" mode whenever I fold the keyboard to the back (deactivate keyboard and open the on screen keyboard). It seems like there is no intended way how to do that therefore I wrote a small workaround.
Does anyone have a better idea?
-
Is anyone using the Starlite Linux tablet by Starlabs, or have an opinion on it? I am in need of a new daily driver tablet and would like to go full Linux, if possible.

If you have the @starlabssystems StarLite 5 Linux tablet and the touchpad on the magnetic keyboard doesn’t disable when typing for you (didn’t for me, although I’m on the latest firmware), see the fix here:

My StarLite tablet by StarLabs arrived today preloaded with elementaryOS, but I'm severely underwhelmed, both by Gnome on a tablet and by the experience in general. I'm considering returning it.
Is there something I'm missing? A better distro? Basic settings that I just need to apply?

StarBook 7 Linux laptop comes with a choice of Intel N200 or Core Ultra 7 165H chips
It’s not unusual for PC makers to offer the same laptop with several different processor options. But usually we’re talking about chips in the same family, like Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 or AMD Ryzen 3, 5, or 7.
But the new StarBook 7 laptop from Linux PC vendor Star Labs is something different. It’s a 14 inch notebook with a 4K […]https://liliputing.com/?p=170813

I’m curious if anyone who reads this post is using a laptop #computer running #Linux. I’m considering a Linux laptop purchase (or a Windows laptop and wiping the drive to install Linux) and wondering what the experience has been for others. I’ve looked at #StarLabs and #LaptopWithLinux. I’d probably run #Ubuntu or #Elementary

As a long term customer, welcome to Mastodon!
There is some confusion with another account. Hopefully you can clear that up.

Another observation, having charged it to capacity twice now and let it discharge fully once:
The battery only charges up to 96% and dies at 2%.
Not the worst possible thing but I would expect a new device to charge to 100% and die at 1%. The former likely more important than the latter.
Hope the battery doesn’t have the same journey that the one on my StarLabs Mk IV did – it dies at around 65% or so after two years.

@knightdave Nie wiem z jakiego środowiska korzystasz, ale ja polecam GNOME Firmware. Jest to w sumie GUI dla fwupdmgr. Korzystam z #StarLabs #Starbook :-)
-
I love #Slimbook, #Tuxedo and also #Starlabs! #System76 sell great machines, but importing one would mean a 21% VAT price surcharge.
Currently still very happy with my #Thinkpad #T14 (Gen 1, AMD). At the time, ordering without an OS wasn't possible, so I settled for M$ Wind*ws, which I immediately replaced with #Fedora. From the ordering & payment procedure I got the impression that #Lenovo didn't really want to sell anything to me at all. Delivery took 8 weeks.

I'm also wondering about the Star Labs tablet. Any information on them? #LinuxTablet #StarLabs

Star Labs StarBook MK VI: laptop z Linux na dzień dobry – recenzja

The #librem11 is great so far, I've been giving #pureos a shot since it is #purism flagship distro -- there are things that I think need improvement -- like (a) some of the pureos apps are not as good as their #flatpak counterparts -- like for example flathub has #geany 2.0 while pureos is still 1.38 0 -- or (b) the native `gnome-calculator` app for some reason doesn't respect "Dark Theme" mode in #phosh -- same with #gedit -- the flatpak version needs to be installed by console (same with #epiphany).
I'm writing this from #tuba and i much prefer it to android #fediverse apps. #parabolic #xournal++ #gnome-maps #libreoffice #krita #gimp #discord #gimp #krita #mypaint all seem to be working just fine.
Having had no prior experience with #tablet sized devices with a keyboard, it wasn't obvious to me how the magnetic cover snaps to the back of the tablet in a λ kind of shape.
Contact sync with #nextcloud works as expected, and #geary email seems like a good fit for this size device, though I typically prefer #thunderbird -- I'm going to give that a try later.
#chatty seems clogged up when I try to login to my #matrix -- though I had a lot of rooms and person to person chats. I am thinking of installing the #flatpak version to see if that fixes it, but then that would seem odd to not use pureos version. It sometimes shows my rooms and contacts double in the left sidebar. Though I have been impressed when using my #librem5 and #postmarketos version of the app as I am new to it. It's a bit rough but seems to have come a long way.
Overall the device is pretty snappy, I have 6 apps open as I write this and it is doing just fine.
#cheese takes photos and videos just fine. I tried to get the #gnome "snapshot" "camera" app running but it doesn't automatically detect the cameras. I am not sure if this is because it is a flatpak or not. I enabled the permissions in #flatseal
I strongly recommend a wireless bluetooth mouse. I am using a inexpensive logitech m535 and it works great. Wifi, no complaints there.
I do think that the default apps in the pureos repos should either be updated or omitted as the default software source, suchas the #libreoffice package when intalled has a theme that makes it look like it's from the 1990s whereas the flatpak version is very nice.
I've been watching #linuxmobile over the last decade and I am presently surprised how far purism and the #linux and #foss people have come. Excellent work @ all. I think this is a great device to do development on as it runs much faster than my #pinephone and even my librem5. And it's not qemu, and the device seems easy enough to reflash -- one thing I especially like about the librem5 aswell when compared to other processes like fumbling through pmbootstrap to reflash #android to #lineageos
I am still trying to figure out what the best music app for this device is -- I do like #lollypopInternal sound quality isn't amazing, but I wouldn't call it bad either when comparing to some of the other small form factor devices with mobile speakers I've owned. It's fine as a fallback but you are better off with a bluetooth headset to complement it or a tiny portable bluetooth speaker.
Some options like "scale apps to fullscreen" are not easy to find so I had to set a few options in dconf-editor. I think there is a app called "Mobile Settings" that might have it. Not all apps have the dialogs constrained inside the screen dimensions like the Geany Open dialog for example (which is understandable as this app hasn't targeted mobile or tablet yet as far as I know.)
I use the device to watch online videos, for instant messaging via matrix via #element / #schildichat and it does just fine. I haven't tested it with #zoom or anything but from what I've seen I'm sure it'd do just fine.
Epiphany "Install Website as App" is a great feature -- I have several I've added to my App Menu, Epiphany has always had trouble though being on the lean side. I do wish that I had this option on #firefox ESR, in any case I've just switched to #librewolf again as I prefer it.
I am interesting in comparing phosh to #gnomemobile as I might want to use that instead someday. I have used #plasmamobile and it's hard to put into words in some ways I like it more than phosh, and in other ways I am just not used to the apps -- some apps are just better out of box like their notes app, I like that they have a flashlight button in their top menu. Their UX scaling and fluidity is really good. I am glad that everything is doing such a good job and friendly competition will drive each side to keep improving.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this device on day 1, but I am glad I did. And as I don't have a laptop or like laptops or conventional smartphones very much for me this device is kindof a big deal that I can do basic #linux and #it things on the go along with communication and such without all the headache of android, ios or windows which is not a option for me as linux is just better.
If you think about the #privacy space -- the #libremboot #codeboot is pretty revolutionary to start to see these kinds of firmwares in all in one hardware. And of course this automatic disk encryption is a nice bonus though not something I need as a enthusiast unless maybe I want to travel with the device and protect my data.
People will have different criticisms, and opinions, and I may be easy-going but overall my opinion is that I am pleased with the utility the device offers and I think any rough edges will only get better in the software over time. I may switch the default distro eventually to do some more research and exploring in the linux mobile space -- but it's a little unclear who the big names are worth checking out. I did postmarketos for a while but I feel like the QA is a little all over the place and their package manager is a little difficult to use when I want to check the available software versions, and the phone space is such a mess to try to document and navigate if you are trying to use a previously android device.
I'm also interested in how the #starlabs #starlite5 will compare and contrast in the future. Having used this device I can't recommend something in this size without a keyboard and mouse for more complex usage, I didn't really undestand that the Librem11 keyboard is wired at first, but now that I have figured it out I prefer the simple tech vs overcomplication.
All in all, I think they have a winner, and I expect to get a lot of use out of this as a side rig to my main desktop. Would buy again, and excited to see all the software improvements coming downstream.

Finally updated to Fedora 38!

Ordered a #starlabs #StarBook for me yesterday. Mightily excited about my first Linux-at-birth machine!
Does anyone in #India have experience shipping from their UK workshop? I'm hoping the import duty won't be more than the money I would've been forced to pay for a Windows malware on hardware I'd buy domestically. -
Star Labs StarBook MK VII zarysowuje się! Co zaoferuje?
-
🇬🇧 A few days ago I started a new little project.
The #StarLabs laptops are great, but it can be difficult to understand the various things associated with them, especially since we don't know where to look for knowledge.
That's why I've built a page to be a some sort of documentation for users. -
🇵🇱 Kilka dni temu rozpocząłem nowy, mały projekt.
Laptopy #StarLabs są świetne, ale zrozumienie poszczególnych rzeczy z nimi związanych może być trudne, tym bardziej, że nie wiadomo gdzie szukać wiedzy.
Dlatego zbudowałem stronę, która ma być pewnego rodzaju dokumentacją dla użytkowników. -
I really love it! Almost 1 am (but almost 12 pm in England), but I receive new EC and coreboot updates for #Starbook

@iron_bug
Well. It's turned out that this is the #opensusetumbleweed ISO issue. Different laptop from different maker shows exactly same behaviour.
As of now, I've decided to go with #manjarokde installation from scratch with full-disk encryption (Manjaro OEM was without FDE).
BTW, #starlabs support was really helpful. I guess I'll order another 11" laptop Star Lite for my mom as well😊

Does anyone have a #starlabs #system76 #tuxedo #pinebook pro laptop? I am interested to know about the hardware experience. I was thinking about getting one to run #manjaro #Linux. I just gave my #Lenovo #t470 to a friend in need. and am now missing a personal thin and light for writing in #VIM, doing light #Blender and #freecad
