It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

    Surely they are aiming for a repairable and modular smartphone eventually. That’s going to be super hard to do. My guess is their next form factor will be a tablet.

      Tablet is almost free, just don’t have a hinge and have a touchscreen. Release as Chromebook, it will run Android applications

            Linux can run Android apps since we have Waydroid too and it’s universal, no need for single device - single OS nonsense.

              You can install Linux on their Chromebooks, so it would be good to have the choice. Some people will prefer a slightly more seamless Android experience and some people will prefer Waydroid

          A reminder that if something can run Android or ChromeOS doesn’t mean drivers would be available for Linux. And usually they aren’t.

            You can order that tablet with Ubuntu, mint, Manjaro, zorin, elementary, etc. There’s gotta be some kind of driver support to build on, no?
