Where is my ARM notebook that isn’t a luxury device?

Not in the corporate cards as of yet, margins too delicious.

Would Chromebooks not fit that description?

No thanks, I don’t like Google. Maybe one with ChromeOS replaced with a Linux, but also has GPU drivers and such.

With all these RISC dev boards and laptops Im getting ao much hope & renesanse for the future I haven’t felt in a very long time.

While I understand that ‘runs Debian’ means ‘nothing but core works, this is for devs, not end users’ I really think this could be the global push towards open source hardware & software (with laptops such as these phones are soon to follow).

Feeling hope is good and all, but never forget that capitalism will find a way to explore and ruin even something as good as this, as it always have.

I se open sourcing all the things the way out of or beyond capitalism/communism/feudalism, a gateway for people to understand.
