I'm seeing some "renewed" 11.6" Chromebooks from Amazon for $80. I'm so much more comfortable in the terminal than in yesteryears that I'd be fine with that so long as the so-called "Terminal" app (which includes Debian) can run on it.
Then again, I took a peek at cygwin (which I've not used in a few years), and it seems to have most of what I use most: tmux, vim, lua, curl, lynx, (open)ssh/sftp, slrn, mutt. Looks like I'd have to find a way to build "gemget" in that environment, but I could honestly do without Gemini. So maybe one of the couple Windows laptops I still own would do the trick...? Ah, but then maybe I can no longer trust the browser security of such... guess I'd have to switch to doing anything sensitive to the phone...?
It's all so ridiculous, really....
show me $80 Chromebooks! :)
There is an old Asus netbook (10.5?) I was looking at for 90. Chromebook that I would get Debian going on. The x2600 is fried I think. In the meantime, an impromptu cyberdeck with the tablet.
Need to get a machine going here
