FINALLY, Linux on a Tablet that doesn't SUCK

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/18360519

It's the MinisForum V3


Pros:

  • Touchscreen (currently works best on KDE Plasma)
  • AMD CPU (Ryzen 7 8840U) [8 cores, 16 threads] + GPU (Radeon 780M)
  • Power button + Fingerprint reader (built into the tablet portion thankfully)
  • 3.5mm audio jack
  • 65W PD power adapter (likely to be GaN)
  • Magnesium alloy body
  • the inclusion of gyroscopes means display auto-rotation is supported
  • 1x stylus pen included
    • [4096 level pressure, up to MPP 2.6 SLA]
      • (I have no idea what any of that means, hopefully it's useful to yall)
  • Keyboard that is/has:
    • Detachable
    • Backlight LED lighting
    • Even-surface actuation pressure touchpad
    • an optional purchase (which can be deselected before checkout)

my favorite app (Neofetch) is dead

TL;DW:
It's been 3 years since Neofetch received updates and the repo has been officially archived since Apr 26, 2024.
