I have a little Lenovo thing that…you know how an iPad is often a tablet that you can add a keyboard case to make into a kind of shitty laptop? Well this Lenovo thing is an x86 laptop that you can rip the keyboard off of to make into a kind of shitty tablet. It’s…not great. Gnome doesn’t like to remember or figure out which way up the screen is supposed to be, for one thing, and FreeCAD isn’t amazing. There’s not a lot of stuff in the Linux software ecosystem that’s built for tablets.
If I’m honest, I think a version of the Pinebook would have been a better idea for RISC-V development. Put a RISC-V chip in a conventional laptop chassis.
