Pinetab

This is my pinetab. It's a linux tablet made by pine64, and what I used to use use as my daily portable computer between September 2020 and November 2021.

Mine was running arch linux, and using the phosh UI made by purism. Before that I ran run a GUI built around sway, waybar, and sike (which is pictured). The on-screen keyboard in the picture is squeekboard with a custom split layout. (if people are interested in the UI setup, I'll make a page for it)

I used to use mine as my main portable computer alongside my corne keyboard, but due to frustration with OS bugs and other issues that would sometimes lead me to being unable to use it in class and the cumbersome nature of using a tablet but having to do many things through the command-line (on a device with a touchscreen keyboard), and the lack of progress made on actual OS stability over that year, I decided to stop using it as a daily portable computer and move to using a more conventional laptop.
