murphnjI'm sitting on the Crowdsupply page, and having thoughts about pulling the lever to back it.  I have some misgivings.....04:55
vagrantcif you want an interesting hobby project and you can afford it, it is probably a good move ... if you want something that just works out-of-the-box all the time ... it might be less rewarding ... at least, that's my take04:58
vagrantcdefinitely a get-your-hands-dirty and make-it-your-own kind of thing04:58
murphnjI'm just worried that I'm backing another no-show.  I still have an eoma-86 in my crowdsupply profile.04:59
vagrantcthough probably over time it will likely improve the out-of-the-box experience ... but there are almost surely some rough edges04:59
murphnjI'm a pretty experienced Linux user, so a few rough spots doesn't scare me off.  05:00
vagrantcmurphnj: hah. me too with eoma-86. they have actually delivered a few hundred mnt/reform2 laptops and various addon parts and keyboards and whatnot05:00
murphnjYeah, I follow on Mastodon, it's just tough to try again.05:01
vagrantcso, the mnt/reform folks seem more able to make judgement calls necessary to get things done and out the door even if not perfect05:01
murphnjI'm going to stop tonight, I still have two weeks to decide.05:01
murphnjI'll sleep on it.05:02
vagrantcgood plan. :)05:02
vagrantc(and the mnt/reform stuff generally seems fixable in the field)05:02
vagrantci'm still sitting on some minor hardware tweaks i haven't yet installed in mine05:03
vagrantcbut i have the parts!05:03
murphnjIt really seems well-designed and nicely put together.  I'll think on it, but I'm leaning toward getting it.  I need a small portable machine, and I want to support independent creators.05:03
murphnjI'm talking about the pocket, in case I didn't make that clear.05:03
vagrantci speculated, based on what's out there on crowsupply right now :)05:04
murphnjthe original is still up there too.05:04
vagrantci even toyed with the pocket reform at an event ... it's nice like it's bigger sibling :)05:06

joschmurphnj: i'm another (big) reform user and i can agree with what vagrant already told you. It's certainly rough around the egdes but the remaining issues (suspend-to-ram isn't working) are small enough such that the (big) reform has been my only computer for over half a year now. I guess that says something. :)05:55
joschmurphnj: i of course cannot tell you 100% whether the pocket will become reality but i also have a history of having backed all kinds of projects, starting with the Openmoko Freerunner more than 10 years ago and I still didn't get my money back for the Dragonbox Pyra or for the Purism Librem 5. The (big) reform is the only open hardware project (for me) that did not turn out to be vaporware and ended up 05:57
joschbecoming my only computing device.05:57

amospallaHello, I am in the same boat, dreaming with getting one pocket. A couple of questions, does X11 work well enough as Wayland on a Reform computer? Also, it does not suspend to ram, but does it hibernate? If so, how much does it take to resume?10:43
joschminute: ^10:45
amospallaThe SOC on the pocket is the same as the one on the regular laptop right?10:46
joschamospalla: no, the reform has the imx8mq the pocket has the imx8mplus which comes with wifi, 8 gb ram and some other small upgrades over the imx8mq10:47
amospallaI will move to wayland someday in the future I guess anyway, as everybody suppose will, but everything I've got right now is scripted with X11 in mind.10:48
amospallaAh thank you. That means they don't necessarily will behave the same way, I guess.10:49
joschamospalla: they are very similar but there are some small differences, yes10:49
amospallaThis format (the pocket one) is my dream format, and man it has so many nice things, great input devices, real replaceable batteries, fanless (not only quiet, but no problems with dust or obstructions). These things mean a lot to me. And of course being open.11:01

minuteit occurs to me that i have never tried Xorg on pocket reform11:59
amospallaI thought that could be an option :)12:00
minuteamospalla: running xorg without gpu on framebuffer will certainly work, not sure how well glamor/glx would work12:03
minuteamospalla: another option is wrapping xorg in wayland by using cage12:03
amospallaThat would mean I just had to move to Wayland. I would have to eventually.12:04
minuteamospalla: what kind of scripting do you need on xorg and what wm are you using?12:06
amospallaminute: am linking autorandr with i3 and i3status-rs, xrandr brightness on desktop, redshift for color, and things here and there, but I would migrate if X11 has performance impact.12:14
amospallaalso, for some reason, I have not been able to move from rxvt-unicode (and I have tried several times), there is always something to blame on other terminal emulators (mainly related to font spacing). But again, well, I would have to migrate eventually.12:16

amospallaOne more question guys, what is your experience with coding on a SOC like this? I do currently use Pycharm (which seems to be available for ARM64), and neovim with several linters kicking in all the time as I write.15:20
